It also further demonstrates the Saudi Aramco confidence in our ability to meet their objectives for this project, based on our proven performance on the front-end design for the entire Khurais development, and on our performance on the previous Saudi Aramco major oil and gas developments, such as Haradh and Qatif.
We have consistently met or exceeded Saudi Aramco safety, quality, schedule and cost targets and, together with Hyundai, our joint venture partner for Khurais, are fully committed to delivering the same best-in-class performance for this project".
"This programme is one of the largest industrial projects being undertaken in the world today and is the largest crude increment programme undertaken in the history of Saudi Aramco.
This programme is challenging because of the scope and complexity of the facilities, the extensive and diverse work locations and the short timescales involved," commented Mr A A Al-Ajmi, vice president, project management, Saudi Aramco: "We are confident that the Foster Wheeler and Hyundai joint venture has the skills and track record to manage this challenge and to deliver a world-class gas plant".
The Khurais Crude Increment Programme covers three oil fields: Khurais, Abu Jifan and Mazlij.
The Khurais Gas Facility will be designed to process the sour associated gas produced from the three oilfields into a natural gas liquid product and a dry, single-phase sour shipping gas.
The plant will process a total of 563 million standard cubic feet per day of sour associated gas and 70,000 b/d of hydrocarbon condensate.
