Aramco signs up Siemens for reservoir project
01 September 2020
Siemens Energy has been selected to provide centrifugal compressor systems for Saudi Aramco’s Hawiyah Unayzah Gas Reservoir Storage (HUGRS) project.
The plant includes a gas injection facility with a capacity of 1,500 million standard cu ft per day (MMSCFD) (42,475,270 cu m per day) and a withdrawal facility capable of processing up to 2,000 MMSCFD or 56,633,693 cum of gas.
The deal was awarded to Siemens Energy by Samsung Engineering, which was appointed the engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contractor for the entire project earlier this year.
The project, located 260 km east of Saudi Arabia’s capital, Riyadh, includes a plant that will take surplus pipelines gas in the winter months and inject it into an existing depleted field. From here, it can be withdrawn when needed to meet high summer demand.
Siemens Energy will supply the required 20 compression trains. Ten trains will be built for the injection portion of the plant, and the other 10 will be used for the withdrawal portion of the plant.
“We have a track record of the fastest delivery times and a dedicated local workforce to produce these units in our Dammam facility in line with our commitment to Aramco’s In-Kingdom Total Value Add program,” said Arja Talakar, Senior Vice President, Industrial Applications Products for Siemens Energy.
This order builds on Siemens’ recent successful supply of compressor trains for other Saudi Aramco projects, including the new Fadhil gas plant and the Hawiyah gas expansion project.
