By GlobalDataSiemens Energy will supply 20 compression trains for the project, with ten being built for the injection portion of the plant. The remaining ten will be used for the withdrawal portion of the gas reservoir stage plant.
Siemens secured the project from Samsung Engineering as part of a $1.85bn engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract awarded to it by Saudi Aramco in January.
Siemens Energy North America Industrial Applications Products head Patrice Laporte said: “Siemens Energy is honoured to receive this order, which we believe is due to our proven ability to deliver better compressor performance and flawless execution, which ultimately results in lower life cycle costs.”
