Over 200 lifts are expected to take place throughout the 17-month long project
The Aramco Hawiyah Unayzah Gas Reservoir Storage (HUGRS) project is located 260km east of Saudi Arabia’s capital Riyadh.
The plant comprises a gas injection facility with a capacity of 1,500mn standard cubic feet per day (mmscfd) as well as a withdrawal facility which is capable of processing up to 2,000 mmscfd of gas.
The project includes construction of a gas injection facility with booster and injection compressors, a gas reproduction facility with reproduction compressors and slug catchers, as well as various utilities & offsite facilities.
Samsung Engineering, the appointed main engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractor, has awarded Mammoet’s Saudi branch the transport and installation scope of the project.
Over 60 components will be received either at King Fahad Industrial Port in Jubail or at a fabrication facility in Dammam and transported to the site for further installation. The heaviest components include four slug catchers, each weighing over 400T.
Over 200 lifts are expected to take place throughout the 17-month long project.
“This contract award was secured primarily on the back of the client’s confidence in Mammoet’s technical expertise, quality and safety standards and we are confident in the success of this project,” remarked Kevin O’Sullivan, General Manager, Mammoet Saudi Arabia.
The facility is expected to be completed in 2023 and will enable Saudi Aramco to efficiently manage surplus gas volumes to meet seasonal demand.
