Aramco awards Wood seven-year gas expansion project

DHAHRAN, October 30, 2024 – Saudi Aramco has selected global engineering contractor Wood for a “significant” engineering services contract for the Southern and Northern Areas gas increments project, Wood announced on Tuesday.

Under the contract terms, Wood will deliver project management consultancy services, including pre-FEED and FEED engineering for gas facilities in eastern Saudi Arabia, including large-scale onshore gas production and processing facilities. The scope of the contract also includes EPC contracting support for future development phases.

“Natural gas is a key transition fuel that can have an immediate positive impact on the carbon emissions associated with energy production. Building on our 30-year relationship with Aramco, we are delighted to support this significant expansion project. The Southern and Northern Areas gas increments will meet growing energy and efficiency demands across the globe,” said Craig Shanaghey, Wood’s executive president of projects.

Wood estimates the seven-year project will require 400 employees at peak and 1 million engineering hours to complete.
