Siemens to supply compressors for Aramco project
DAMMAM, Saudi Arabia, February 9, 2021
Siemens Energy was selected to supply new electric motor driven compressors for Saudi Aramco’s Tanajib Plant facilities.
The company received the order from the Spanish engineering and construction company, Técnicas Reunidas, who was awarded the engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contract for the Marjan Onshore Packages 9 and 11 project last year.
Siemens Energy will supply a total of 21 compressor trains for the project. They will be used in several gas treatment plant compression services, including high pressure (HP) and high-high pressure (HHP) injection, sales gas, refrigerant, and sour off-gas.
The packaging of the compressor trains will be completed at Siemens Energy’s Dammam facilities in the KSA. Siemens Energy will engage local Saudi suppliers to support localization and technology transfer, helping to grow sustainable jobs for Saudi professionals.
“The order will be assembled and packaged at the Siemens Dammam Energy Hub, which is a testament to our commitment to localizing the energy value chain in Saudi Arabia,” said Mahmoud Sulaimani, Managing Director of Siemens Energy in Saudi Arabia.
This order continues Siemens Energy’s recent track record of successfully supplying compressor trains to Saudi Aramco projects, including the Hawiyah Unayzah Gas Reservoir Storage (HUGRS) project. These projects align with Siemens Energy’s core focus to use technological innovations to drive sustainable solutions for its customers and society.
“We are honoured to receive this order that reflects our ongoing commitment to Saudi Aramco’s IKTVA program despite today’s challenging business environment,” said Siva Krishnan, Head of Industrial Applications Products at Siemens Energy for Mena. – TradeArabia News Service
