Saudi Arabia’s Al-Suwaidi Industrial Service Company (SIS) has been awarded three engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) deals in kingdom by state-owned Saudi Aramco and Saudi Basic Industries Corporation (Sabic), according to a 24 August press release.

The Saudi engineering firm will install and commission new flaring equipment at Ar-Razi Saudi Methanol Company, a joint venture of Sabic and a Japanese consortium led by Mitsubishi Gas Chemical Company at Jubail.

The scope of work includes the procurement and supply of piping materials, pre-fabrication and installation of structural steel, electrical and instrumentation, civil works, cabling, painting and insulation.

On 18 June, SIS also signed a deal to upgrade the sour gas pipe network at the Shedgum gas plant, 135 kilometres southwest of Dhahran in the Eastern Province, for Saudi Aramco. It will install approximately 4,000 metres of new piping, which is resistant to hydrogen induced cracking, along with a liquid petroleum gas separator.

Saudi Aramco also awarded SIS a contract to connect the Berri and Khursaniyah Gas Plants at Wasit in the eastern province (MEED 8:6:11).
