JEDDAH - Foster Wheeler and Sofcon have been awarded the pre-front end engineering and design (FEED) study for the first phase of a program to develop gas supplies from the Shaybah field in the Rub Al-Khali. The joint venture program between the two companies has been awarded by Saudi Aramco.
The field has already had a $3 billion expansion to increase its capacity by 250,000 barrels per day (bpd) to 750,000. The development includes construction of a plant with six trains to liquefy the natural gas over a period from 2014 and 2033.
