Saudi Aramco has awarded a contract to build three temporary construction facilities (TCFs) to Azmeel Contracting Company as part of the company’s Gas Compression Program in Haradh and Hawiyah. The contract involves construction of fully functional support buildings and facilities together with associated infrastructure and communication connectivity in the Haradh and Hawiyah operational areas.

Fahad Al Helal, Saudi Aramco vice president for project management, signed the contract on behalf of the company in Dhahran.

“We constantly work towards achieving Saudi Aramco’s goals and objectives in natural gas production to diversify the kingdom’s energy mix and to make cleaner energy resources available.The TCF project will leverage on the Haradh Increment Program, which is considered a catalyst for growth through increasing total gas production by more than one billion standard cuft per day. We are glad that a local company is involved in the execution of this major project, in tandem with Saudi Aramco’s In-Kingdom Total Value Add (IKTVA) initiative,” he said.

Recently, Saudi Aramco signed agreements valued at nearly $4.5 billion with contractors for oil and gas megaprojects to enhance its energy sustainability, diversify the economy, expand gas production, and localise domestic content.
