Siemens Energy ships first compression train to Aramco gas reservoir storage project from Saudi Hub
The HUGRS project, located 162
miles (260 kilometers) east of Saudi Arabia’s capital, Riyadh, includes a gas injection
facility that will enable the Kingdom to produce additional gas during the seasonal
demand.
Siemens Energy received the order for the compressors from
Samsung Engineering, which was awarded the engineering, procurement, and
construction (EPC) contract for the entire project. Ten compression trains will be built for the injection portion of the
plant, and another ten compression trains will be used for the reproduction portion
of the plant.
The compressor trains are being assembled at the Siemens Energy Dammam
Hub, in line with the company’s commitment to Aramco’s In-Kingdom Total Value
Add program.
“We are very proud of our local workforce at our Siemens
Energy Dammam Hub who were able to deliver the first compressor train in a
timely manner despite difficulties brought by the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Mahmoud
Sulaimani, Managing Director of Siemens Energy Saudi Arabia.
