HOUSTON, Mar. 11 -- Saudi Aramco has hired Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. to develop a basic engineering package for four sulfur-recovery units, each with an expected production capacity of 1,200 tonnes/day.

The new, four-train sulfur plant will be part of the Wasit gas development program in Saudi Arabia. The program will provide for the production and processing of up to 2.5 bcfd from the Aribiyah and Hasbah offshore nonassociated sour gas fields.

It involves building gas processing plants, two offshore gas platforms, one tie-in platform, subsea power, and communication links and pipelines. Jacobs will use its Euroclaus and sulfur degassing technology for the project.
