Technip nets two contracts on Jubail refinery
9 Jul 2009
Paris - Technip has been awarded two major lump sum turnkey contracts by the Saudi Aramco Total Refining and Petrochemical Co. (SATORP) for two packages, which are part of a grassroots refinery to be built at the Jubail industrial area in Saudi Arabia. SATORP is a joint venture owned 62.5% by Saudi Aramco and 37.5% by Total France.
SATORP’s full-conversion refinery will have a processing capacity of 400,000 barrels per stream day of Arabian heavy crude oil. It will maximise production of diesel and jet fuels, and will also produce 700,000 tons per year (t/y) of paraxylene, 140,000 t/y of benzene and 200,000 t/y of polymer-grade propylene.
Technip’s scope for this project covers the engineering, procurement and construction of two contracts: the hydro and catalytic cracking conversion process units; and some of the utility units as well as the interconnecting network and process control system of the entire refinery.
The contracts, which are due for completion during the second quarter of 2013, will be jointly executed by Technip¹s operating centers in Rome and Paris, with assistance from the group’s organisation in the Middle East. They follow Technip’s execution of the front-end engineering design for this refinery.
