Contractors have submitted bids for the main engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract for a water injection package that is part of the onshore portion of Saudi Aramco’s Marjan field development project.

Bids for the contract, estimated to be worth about $400m, were submitted on 19 September, a source told MEED.

The main scope of work is to construct facilities to transport water from well sites on the Marjan field to the gas oil separation plant (GOSP) in Tanajib. The water will be transported by pipeline from water wells approximately 70 kilometres from the Tanajib GOSP.

Water injection pumps will be installed at the GOSP to transport water to the offshore work scope.

The source said Aramco have not yet set a date for when the main contract is to be awarded: “Bids have been submitted recently, so there are no updates yet on that."

Aramco is understood to have invited a dozen prequalified contractors to bid for the job.

Aramco is in the process of prequalifying contractors, inviting bids or progressing the front-end engineering and design (feed) for tens of packages within the Marjan field development megaproject.

According to estimates, the combined total of all Marjan packages amounts to $15bn-worth of jobs, with most set to be tendered or awarded in the last quarter of this year.
