Dhahran/Saudi Arabia – Aramco and Total Energies recently awarded Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contracts for the 11 billion dollar ‘Amiral’ complex, a future world scale petrochemicals facility expansion at the Satorp refinery in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. A signing ceremony took place in Dhahran which was attended by Amin H. Nasser, Aramco President and CEO, and Patrick Pouyanné, Total Energies Chairman and CEO.

The award of EPC contracts for main process units and associated utilities marks the start of construction work on this joint project, following the final investment decision in December 2022. Integrated with the Satorp existing refinery in Jubail, the new petrochemical complex will house the largest mixed-load steam cracker in the Gulf, with a capacity to produce 1.65 million tons of ethylene and other industrial gases per year.

This expansion is expected to attract more than 4 billion dollars in additional investment in a variety of industrial sectors (carbon fibers, lubes, drilling fluids, detergents, food additives, automotive parts and tires) and create around 7,000 direct and indirect jobs in the country.
