Project Profile
Start-up Year:
Location: 100 km north of Dharan, Saudi Arabia
Oil reserves: 12 billion barrels-plus
Value: US$6-8 billion
Production: 250,000-300,000 bpd
Berri field is located about 100 km north of Dhahran in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia. The field ranks as the 22nd largest in the world and is in a mature state of development. The asset has been in production since the late 1960s and, in common with the other Gulf fields, requires ongoing maintenance.
The Berri Increment Programme calls for the production of an additional 250,000 bpd of Arabian Light crude and increasing natural gas liquids (NGL) recovery.
Canada’s SNC Lavalin was awarded an engineering and project management services contract on the Berri project in early 2017 – including front-end engineering and design (FEED) on the onshore components.
This will comprise a 250,000 bpd gas-oil separation plant (GOSP) at the existing Abu Ali Gas Plant and the addition of facilities at the nearby Khursaniya Gas Plant to process 40,000 bpd of condensate.
