Aramco awards KBR contract to upgrade Marjan offshore facilities
Aramco has signed a contract with US-based KBR to provide engineering and development services for the Marjan oil and gas field in the Arabian Gulf.
Saudi Arabian oil giant Aramco has chosen US-based KBR to undertake engineering and development services for the Marjan oil and gas field situated off the eastern coast of the country in the Arabian Gulf. The contract awarded to KBR will cover a range of critical upgrades at the offshore Marjan project, with a focus on key oil and gas processing facilities, gas compression, and in-field power systems.
According to Al Arabiya, KBR's involvement aims to preserve Marjan's production capacity amidst recent field developments, bolster associated gas processing capabilities, and bolster the long-term performance of vital offshore assets through the integration of digital technologies, automation systems, and power infrastructure enhancements.
Jay Ibrahim, President of Sustainable Technology Solutions at KBR, highlighted the company's long-standing partnership with Aramco in project delivery. By merging KBR's vast offshore engineering expertise with advanced automation and digital integration, the firm aims to assist Aramco in achieving its targets. The engineering tasks are anticipated to be primarily handled from KBR's offices in Houston and Alkhobar, making use of the company's extensive experience in executing intricate offshore energy infrastructure projects across the Middle East and beyond.
The Marjan oil and gas field, managed by Aramco, has experienced multi-billion-dollar expansions to sustain crude oil production at approximately 800,000 barrels per day, alongside a substantial increase in associated gas processing capacity.
