Plant will have capabilities to manufacture a broad range of chemicals for oil and petrochemicals sectors
Halliburton recently announced its decision to build the first oilfield chemical manufacturing reaction plant in Saudi Arabia.
The company held a ground-breaking ceremony at the plant’s PlasChem Park location in Jubail in the Kingdom’s Eastern Province. Upon the plant’s completion in 2020, Halliburton will begin local manufacturing of specialty chemicals to help customers achieve production and reliability goals in applications from the reservoir to the refinery.
“We are excited to house this premier facility in Saudi Arabia while continuing to strengthen our commitment to the ‘In Kingdom Total Value Add’ programme,” said Jeff Miller, Halliburton Chairman, President, and CEO.
The plant will have capabilities to manufacture a broad slate of chemicals for stimulation, production, midstream, and downstream engineered treatment programs.
Halliburton’s global laboratory and team in Dhahran Techno Valley and local manufacturing uniquely position the company to accelerate the production of next generation specialty chemical solutions while developing local employees and capabilities.
