Project Profile
Value: US$1,050 million
Location: Offshore Saudi Arabia
Production: 2.5 billion standard cubic feet per day (from Hasbah and Arabiyah offshore non-associated sour-gas fields)
Start-up Year: 2014
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 utilised 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.
