Project Profile
The Wasit project is split into two offshore gas fields: the Hasbah and Arabiyah offshore non-associated sour-gas fields and aims to produce and process up to 2.5 billion standard cubic feet per day.
Output from the gas processing facility will be supplied to power generating plants and industrial units.
Gas from the project will not be utilized as feedstock for Saudi Arabia\'s petrochemical plants.
The project has an onshore development, which will provide for the production and processing of gas from the Aribiyah and Hasbah offshore non-associated sour gas fields.
The onshore development is being operated by Saudi Aramco.
FEED for the development was awarded to: SNC-Lavalin.
This phase is expected to be completed by the first quarter of 2011.
Subcontracts have been handed to Jacobs Engineering and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries for the following:
Jacobs Engineering: basic engineering package for four sulfur recovery units.
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries: natural gas-fired 150 megawatt (MW) M501F gas turbines and generators.
The EPC contracts were recently awarded to Korean companies: Samsung Engineering and SK Engineering.
Offshore Pre-FEED for both fields was awarded to Jacobs Engineering.
The main offshore FEED for both fields was awarded to WorleyParsons.
McDermott was awarded the contract for the Jackets.
Saipem was awarded the offshore EPC work for both fields.
Mohammad Al Mojil Group was awarded the construction work.
