HOUSTON, July 10
-- Saudi Aramco Total Refining & Petochemical Co. has let contract to Technip for two packages, including one covering hydrocracking and catalytic cracking units, for the 400,000 b/d export refinery it will build in Jubail, Saudi Arabia.

Technip will handle engineering, procurement, and construction for those units and for some of the utility units and interconnecting network and process control system for the entire refinery.

The Aramco-Total joint venture earlier let a contract to Chiyoda Corp. and Samsung Engineering for the refinery’s coker unit (OGJ Online, July 9, 2009).
