US-based KBR has been awarded a contract for work on Saudi Aramco’s Master Gas System (MGS) expansion programme.

KBR’s role will involve supporting work to increase and maintain maximum sustainable capacity across the Shaybah field’s four gas-oil separation plants (GOSPs), as well as power plant and well injection facilities.

The contract will run until 2028.

In a statement, KBR said: “The project prioritises sustainability by integrating carbon-free energy alternatives, carbon capture and gas reinjection to reduce emissions, optimising existing equipment and GOSP plot space, and evaluating a greenfield facility to enhance resource efficiency while supporting Saudi Aramco’s 2060 net-zero goals.”
