Honeywell’s new production facility to provide O&G solutions for KSA

/ Oil & Gas / Wednesday, 26 January 2022 13:23

Honeywell, a global technology leader, will open a new production facility for oil and gas projects in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). The facility has been developed as part of a Joint Venture (JV) partnership (Elster Instromet Saudi Arabia) with Gas Arabian Services to provide a state-of-the-art infrastructure for manufacturing and assembly of natural gas and liquid fuel solutions.

The new facility will use Elster precision solutions, a portfolio of Honeywell solutions that include extensive, end-to-end technologies for gas and liquid metering, as well as control applications for the oil and gas industry. Through the facility, Honeywell will offer both skids and stations solutions, along with automation and control systems. Honeywell is primarily using the new facility to service approved solutions for Saudi Aramco.

This development is a result of the memorandum of understanding (MOU) signed between Honeywell and Saudi Aramco in May 2017, which included Honeywell undertaking commercial efforts to assist Saudi Aramco in achieving the goals of the In-Kingdom Total Value Add (IKTVA) Program.

IKTVA’s aim is to achieve 70% localization of production and jobs, supporting the goals of Saudi Vision 2030. The new facility will support these objectives by creating production jobs for Saudi nationals, which leads to enhanced local skills and capabilities for future developments. It is expected that the facility will help create at least 20 additional jobs in the Kingdom.

“Honeywell has been serving the Saudi Arabian market with instrumentation, control systems and advanced application solutions for many decades. The new facility will help drive knowledge transfer and support the creation of highly skilled roles,” said George Bou Mitri, vice president and general manager for Honeywell Performance Materials and Technologies in the Middle East.

The new facility is located in the Royal Commission area of Jubail and includes a 2,000 sqm workshop and more than 1,000 sqms in office space for handling in-Kingdom projects, including manufacturing and assembling. The facility will mainly cater to the Saudi Arabian market, GCC countries and in the future it will support other projects across the rest of the world.
