L&T kickstarts a new journey for Saudi Arabia’s energy sector
 
Work on the biggest-ever order received by L&T Energy Hydrocarbon (LTEH) – Aramco’s Jafurah Gas Processing Facilities, Phase-2, Package-1 (JG2P1) in Saudi Arabia – commenced on 20 May with the ceremonial ground-breaking ceremony.
 
Present from Aramco were Mr Khalid Al- Abdulqader (Sr VP and Executive Sponsor of Jafurah Development Programme), Mr Adullah A Sughaiyer (VP – Upstream Gas Projects), Mr Hesham Al Saleem and Mr Yaser Alomair from the project team. The senior representatives of Nasser S Al-Hajri Corporation (NSH) and Sinopec – LTEH’s sub-contractors in this project – also graced the occasion.
 
On the LTEH team welcoming the guests were Mr Subramanian Sarma (Whole- time Director & President – Energy), Mr E Sathyanarayanan (COO – LTEH, Middle East), Mr G Sathyanarayanan (VP & Project Director), Mr Jitendra Pawar (GM & Project Manager), Mr K Lakshmanan (GM & Construction Director) and Mr M Saravanan (JGM & Construction Manager – JG2P1).
 
Mr Asem Alafaleq (Project Engineer – Aramco) provided an overview of the Jafurah project detailing the gas processing scheme. After the ceremonial ground- breaking, the foundation was laid, and a plaque was unveiled.
 
Speaking on the occasion, Aramco leaders expressed confidence that L&T would make the project a success, while maintaining all safety parameters. Echoing them, Mr Sarma said that L&T would leave no stone unturned to achieve every milestone and underscored that the collaborative efforts of L&T and Aramco teams would be the most important determinant of success.
 
This project is part of Aramco’s Unconventional Resources Programme that seeks to develop grassroot gas surface facilities to produce, process, and transport gas to meet Saudi Arabia’s energy needs.
 
While the Jafurah Development Programme is being undertaken in several phases, the Jafurah Gas Plant –which will process raw gas received from the Jafurah Gas Fields – is being constructed in two phases.
 
Phase-1 includes grassroot gas-gathering, gas-compression plants, separate gas and liquid trunk line networks that feed fluids from wellheads to the Jafurah Gas Plant. The plant has two gas trains, each with a feed gas design capacity of 550 MMSCFD (million standard cubic feet per day). Phase-2 will expand the raw gas capacity to 3.2 BSCFD (billion SCFD), by adding 2.1 BSCFD raw gas processing capacity.
