SNC-Lavalin has been awarded a contract by Saudi Aramco for engineering and project management services for the Berri Increment Program.

New facilities are proposed at Saudi Aramco's Abu Ali and Khursaniyah plants to process a potential increased output of Arabian Light crude from the Berri Field on the east coast of Saudi Arabia.

SNC-Lavalin's scope of work includes front end engineering design (FEED) for a new 250 000 bbl of oil per calendar day gas oil separation plant at the existing Abu Ali gas plant, as well as additional facilities at the Khursaniyah gas plant that will process 40 million bbl/d of hydrocarbon condensate, all associated with the Berri Crude Increment.

Saudi Aramco may also utilise SNC-Lavalin to provide technical support services for the construction phase.

The FEED project is due to begin this month and the pre-EPC construction stage services are expected to be completed by August 2018.

Martin Adler, President, Oil & Gas, SNC-Lavalin, said: "To be selected by Saudi Aramco for this important project demonstrates our client's continued confidence in our ability to provide a highly qualified multi-disciplinary design team combined with world-class project management credentials and local constructability expertise [.] SNC-Lavalin has worked with Saudi Aramco for nearly 40 years and has maintained an impressive track record of safely and successfully delivering projects. This contract award shows the depth of our commitment to customer relations in Saudi Arabia and the region as a whole."
