Under the agreement, Foster will carry out FEED for the grassroots Fadhili gas plant, which has a total processing capacity of 1.5 billion standard cubic feet per day of non-associated gas.
Additionally, Foster’s scope will also include the onshore Khursaniyah upstream facilities, the Fadhili downstream pipelines, a residential camp and industrial support facilities at the new gas plant, Foster Wheeler said.
The new plant will be developed 30km southwest of the existing Khursaniyah gas plant.
Foster Wheeler said it will also prepare cost estimates, undertake the procurement of long-lead equipment, imitate basic engineering design, and prepare the invitation to bid packages for the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contracts.
Following the appointment of the EPC contractors, Foster Wheeler will provide project management services for the EPC phase.
Foster Wheeler COO Umberto della Sala said, "This award demonstrates the continued value that Saudi Aramco places on our technical expertise and our proven track record of delivering cost-effective and high quality services to support Saudi Aramco’s world-scale investments."
