Background

The Master Gas System, operated by Aramco, is one of the world's largest hydrocarbon networks. Construction began in the mid-1970s and began in 1982 to transport gas from the Ghawar field for industrialisation. The Master Gas System Expansion project aims to support Saudi Arabia's development of non-associated gas, unconventional gas, and related condensate reserves. The Booster Gas Compression Station project will expand the East-West Pipeline system's capacity to deliver sales gas. Saudi Arabia began monetising its gas reserves in the 1970s and aims to gather all associated gas flared from crude oil fields production. The Master Gas - Phase 3 project aims to convert power plants from oil to natural gas, contributing to the country's net-zero emission goal.

Project Scope

The project involves the construction of a new booster gas compression station, BGCS-10, near EWPS-10, which will house ten new compression trains, and expand permanent accommodation facilities in EWPS-10.

Project Status

As of April 2025, Shades System has been awarded a contract to deliver parking shade structures for the new booster gas compression station (BGSC-10).
