The project includes the installation of a new Gas Oil Separation Plant (GOSP) in Abu Ali Island and additional gas processing facilities at the Khursaniyah Gas Plant (KGP) to process 40,000 barrels per day of hydrocarbons and associated condensates.
China Harbour will build each of the two drilling islands in different locations: the first on the northern side of King Fahd Industrial Port, and the second on the southern in Jubail, to boost production. The sites will have an approximate overall area of 616,553sqm and 263,855sqm respectively.
Earlier this month, and with the same objective to increase the field’s capacity, Saudi Aramco also awarded Baker Hughes an integrated services contract for its Marjan oilfield, the first of three major offshore expansions in Saudi Arabia.
