Aramco contracts Saipem to construct Safaniya trunkline offshore Saudi Arabia
Aramco has awarded Saipem a new EPCI contract covering work on the Safaniya oil field offshore Saudi Arabia, under the two parties’ long-term agreement.
Saipem will engineer and install a 48-inch trunkline, featuring a 65-km offshore section and a 12-km onshore portion, along with associated subsea facilities.
The company will allocate construction vessels currently active in the region for the offshore operations.
Fabrication activities will take place at the 500,000-sq-m yard of Saipem Taqa Al-Rushaid Fabricators in Dammam. This is a limited liability partnership formed in 2007 between Taqa Al-Rushaid for Marine Works Co. and Saipem international.
