Saipem has been awarded a new onshore contract for the Uthmaniyah Gas Compression Plant project in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The contract, with a duration of approximately 42 months, was signed by Saipem Nasser Saeed Al-Hajri Contracting Co. (SNSH), a jointly controlled company owned by Saipem and by Nasser Saeed Al-Hajri and Partners Co. for Contracting (NSH). The value of Saipem’s share of the contract amounts to approximately €900 million.

The project involves engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) activities for a new compression plant serving the non-associated gas field of Uthmaniyah. The new compression plant will extend the production life of the field, helping to support the growing energy demand of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

The Uthmaniyah Gas Compression Plant is the first EPC project awarded under the National EPC Champion Program, which is designed to develop a national EPC champion capable of executing the full range of onshore EPC activities while maximising the use of local resources and expertise. Accordingly, Saipem and NSH established SNSH in Saudi Arabia, combining Saipem’s engineering and project management capabilities with NSH’s construction expertise.

The award of this project strengthens Saipem’s presence in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and confirms Saipem’s commitment to contributing to the development of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s energy infrastructure, while promoting the use of local skills and resources.
