    HOUSTON, Jan. 12, 2004 -- Saudi Aramco Monday said it has completed its major natural gas and oil development project at Haradh, 280 km southwest of Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, and plans to inaugurate the facilities Jan. 18. The complex consists of a 1.5 bcfd gas processing plant, a gas-oil separation plant capable of processing 300,000 b/d of crude oil, and a 130 MMscfd associated gas-gathering facility.
