Background

Aramco plans to develop its gas-driven fields such as Marjan offshore field. Marjan oil field delivers a high volume of associated gas and the new oil capacity will replace in time declines in oil capacity from other fields elsewhere.

Marjan is estimated to have the capacity to produce about 500,000 barrels per day (b/d) of crude based on existing production facilities. Package 4 involves the development of offshore gas facilities and pipelines.

Saudi Aramco's extensive operations, both offshore and onshore are expected to maintain production on the mature gulf fields over the next decade as hundreds of new wells will be required to be drilled to support other operations in nearby oil fields.


Project Scope

Package 4's offshore gas facilities and pipelines include fabricating three tie-in platforms and seven wellhead platforms with a total weight exceeding 55,700 metric tonnes, installing more than 540 km of subsea trunk lines and in-field pipelines, laying more than 90 km of subsea cables. This is in addition to gas cap production network, tie-on platform, two gas cap production wellhead platforms, installation of offshore oil facilities, pipelines, crude dehydration facilities, and other utilities and associated facilities.


Project Status

As of February 2023, Modutec and Co-At Marine are providing architectural and HVAC works for Package 4 of the Marjan Field Expansion project.


Project Finance

Saudi Aramco is the client on the scheme.
