WorleyParsons completes Saudi Arabia-Bahrain pipeline
Bahrain 
MANAMA, May 28, 2014 – Last Sunday, a Saudi Aramco official announced at Manama’s Petrotech 2014 that the front-end engineering and design for the new 115-kilometre-long crude oil pipeline between Saudi Arabia and Bahrain has been completed by Australian firm WorleyParsons. In addition, the engineering, procurement and construction contracts should be tendered by the end of 2014.
The $350-million pipeline, expected to be commissioned by the third quarter of 2016, aims at transporting crude from the Aramco’s Abqaiq plant in Saudi Arabia to Bahrain. Thirty-one kilometres of the pipeline will run subsea. The project is considered key to serving the planned $6-billion Sitra refinery expansion in Bahrain, to be completed by 2019.
