Saudi Aramco awarded on Tuesday a contract to China Harbour Engineering Arabia for the construction of two drilling islands under the company’s Berri Increment Programme, said a statement by Aramco.

 

“The objective of the BIP is to produce an additional 250,000 barrels per day of Arabian Light crude oil from the Berri Oil Field to reach 500,000 barrels per day to maintain Saudi Aramco’s maximum sustained capacity by early 2023,” the statement added.

 

The programme includes the installation of a new Gas Oil Separation Plant in Abu Ali Island and additional gas processing facilities at the Khursaniyah Gas Plant to process 40,000 barrels per day of hydrocarbon condensate associated with the Berri Crude Increment.

 

Related pipelines, water injection facilities, onshore drilling sites, drilling islands and offshore facilities are also included.

 

The two drilling islands will be constructed near shore at the north and south sides of the King Fahad Industrial Port causeway in Jubail, to support the Berri field production capacity islands.
