HOUSTON, Oct. 1 -- Saudi Arabian Oil Co. (Saudi Aramco) has awarded a Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. subsidiary a contract valued at $100 million to oversee the 800 MMscfd expansion of its Hawiyah gas processing plant east of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and the development of a natural gas liquids recovery plant on the site, along with other related projects.
The Hawiyah gas processing plant, which started up in 2001, was Saudi Arabia's first plant to be fed only nonassociated gas (OGJ Online, Sept. 10, 2003).
Jacobs will provide project management consultant services for Saudi Aramco, including front-end engineering and construction management for both the plant expansion and the new NGL facilities. The expansion facilities are due on stream in 2007.
