ENPPI, Saudi Aramco Sign Contract On Safaniya Water Disposal Upgrade
Saudi Aramco on 16 August awarded Egypt’s Engineering Company for Petroleum and Process Industries (ENPPI) a lump-sum turnkey contract to execute the Safaniya Water Disposal System Upgrade Project. The project will expand the Safaniya Arabian Heavy Crude and Utilities Plants to maintain the plant’s crude oil demand until 2011, said Saudi Aramco. It will add a low-pressure producing trap capable of the three-phase separation of oil, water and gas. The project, to be completed in 2008, also includes large injection pumps, and a new electrical substation. In April, Saudi Aramco awarded ENPPI an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract for a new de-ethanizer train and its associated systems at the Yanbu΄ Gas Plant (MEES, 1 May).
