Saudi Aramco has received bids from nine companies for a $40m contract to upgrade the acid gas piping system at its Shedgum gas processing plant, 135 kilometres southwest of Dhahran in the Eastern Province.
The bidders included two international contractors, China's Sinopec and Lebanon's Contracting & Trading Group.
They were joined by seven local firms: Saaco, HK al-Sadiq Contracting Company, Al-Badr Contracting Company, Petro-Arabia, Arabian Bemco Contracting Company, Al-Suwaidi Trading & Development, and MR al-Khathlan.
The state energy giant had previously extended the bid deadline from 13-19 July (MEED 9:7:09).
The work includes the installation of four pipelines linking the gas-treating and sulphur recovery units. Construction will begin on 11 August and end in late 2010 (MEED 19:6:09).
Shedgum is one of five Saudi plants that can process 1.6 billion cubic feet a day (cf/d) of gas.
