Shandong Electric Power Construction (SEPCO) and Saudi Arabian Oil Company (Saudi Aramco) officially signed the EPC general contract for the third phase expansion project (second bid section) of the MGS gas booster station.

This is the seventh Saudi Aramco project that SEPCO has won the contract after the Sabah Combined Cycle Renovation Power Station, Jizan Gas Turbine Combined Cycle Power Station, MGS Gas Booster Station Phase I and Phase II, King Port Project, and Power Workshop Project.

The successful signing of this project not only marks Shandong Electric Power Construction’s achievement of taking over all three phases of the MGS gas booster station project, but also reflects Saudi Aramco’s high trust and full recognition of Shandong Electric Power Construction’s excellent performance capabilities as an EPC general contractor.

The MGS system operated by Saudi Aramco is the largest natural gas gathering and processing system in the world today. Since its completion in 1982, it has become the backbone of Saudi Arabia’s industrial economic network. This project is part of the Saudi East-West Gas Pipeline Expansion Project.

The scope of work includes the construction of the new No. 10 station (including 10 compressor units) and related ancillary facilities. The construction period is approximately 48 months. After the completion of the project, the daily gas transmission capacity of the pipeline will be increased from 12 billion cubic feet to 17.5 billion cubic feet, completely meeting the gas demand for the construction of the King’s Economic City in western Saudi Arabia and multiple large-scale gas power station projects, and significantly reducing the demand for oil in the western economic belt. Energy consumption is of great significance to promoting economic development in western Saudi Arabia, improving Saudi oil export capabilities, and improving Saudi environmental quality.
