Saudi Aramco Shell Refinery Co. (Sasref), a 50-50 joint venture of Saudi Aramco and Royal Dutch Shell PLC, has let a contract to CB&I, Houston, to provide engineering, procurement, and construction management for the modernization and expansion of its 305,000-b/d refinery at Jubail, Saudi Arabia.
Valued at more than $95 million, this latest EPCM contract follows Sasref’s previous contract awards to CB&I for conceptual design and front-end engineering and design phases of the project, the service provider said.
CB&I said it also worked with Sasref to optimize its investment on the proposed project.
The modernization and expansion will entail reconfiguring the refinery to achieve the operating flexibility required for producing Euro 5-quality fuels and reducing emissions at the site, CB&I said.
Further details regarding the refinery’s planned overhaul have yet to be reported.
