Aramco focuses on upstream capacity building

12 September 2023

This package on Saudi Arabia’s upstream sector also includes: 

> Aramco sets new deadlines for Manifa offshore bids
> Aramco gives gas plant expansion bidders more time
> Riyadh and Moscow extend oil output cuts till year-end
> Aramco receives bids for Safaniya field expansion
> Aramco selects contractors for $10bn gas project
> Development of Dorra field may stoke tensions

 

While Saudi Arabia is set to continue reducing its oil production until the end of the year, a measure that could lead to further declines in its oil revenues, the decision has not deterred state energy giant Saudi Aramco from investing in projects to build its oil and gas production potential.

On Tuesday 5 September, global benchmark Brent crude breached the $90-a-barrel mark for the first time this year, primarily due to the Opec+ alliance’s oil supply management mechanism and the kingdom’s voluntary output cuts.

Aramco is capitalising on this high oil price environment to push through projects that are critical to achieving its strategic upstream goals of raising oil production capacity to 13 million barrels a day (b/d) by 2027, from about 12 million b/d at present, and doubling gas production by the end of this decade.

The state enterprise expects its capital expenditure this year to be $45bn-$55bn, including external investments – at least 20 per cent higher than its $37.6bn capex in 2022.

Spending on offshore oil and gas engineering, procurement, construction and installation (EPCI) projects is expected to account for the bulk of this projected capex for 2023.

Robust offshore spending

Most of the kingdom’s oil and gas production comes from its offshore hydrocarbons resources in fields including Abu Safah, Arabiyah, Hasbah, Berri, Karan, Manifa, Marjan, Ribyan, Safaniya and Zuluf.

Aramco aims to maintain and gradually increase productivity at these fields, some of which are mature. In line with this, the state enterprise is poised to award approximately $4bn of offshore EPCI deals to entities in its long-term agreement (LTA) pool of offshore contractors by the end of this year.

So far this year, Aramco has already awarded about $3bn-worth of contracts as part of this projected spending.

A consortium of Indian contractor Larsen & Toubro Energy Hydrocarbon (LTEH) and UK-based Subsea7 has won seven offshore EPCI contracts from Saudi Aramco, estimated to be worth close to $2bn.

LTEH/Subsea7 won contract release and purchase order (CRPO) numbers 98, 120 and 121, which cover EPCI work on Saudi Arabia’s Zuluf, Hasbah and Manifa offshore oil and gas fields. The combined value of the three CRPOs, awarded to the consortium in March, is estimated to be $1bn.

In April, LTEH/Subsea7 won CRPOs 117, 118 and 119, which cover EPCI work on Saudi Arabia’s Marjan offshore oil and gas field development. The three tenders are thought to be worth over $900m.

The LTEH/Subsea7 consortium is also understood to have secured the contract for CRPO 97, which relates to the EPCI of various units at the Abu Safah field.

Italian contractor Saipem confirmed in early April that it had won CRPO 96, estimated to have a value of $120m. The scope of work on the tender covers the EPCI of one platform topside and the associated subsea flexible, umbilical and cable systems at the Abu Safah and Safaniya fields.

Also in April, China Offshore Oil Engineering Company (COOEC) won the CRPO 122 contract, estimated to be worth $255m, covering the installation of 13 jackets at the Safaniya field.

Saipem has also won CRPO 124, a key contract for the third gas development phase of the Marjan hydrocarbons field.

In early September, contractors in Aramco’s LTA pool of offshore service providers submitted bids for 10 EPCI packages of the Safaniya increment programme, estimated to be worth upwards of $5bn in total.

Increasing gas production

To grow its gas production potential, Aramco is tapping into the vast resources of the Jafurah unconventional gas reserve in Saudi Arabia’s Eastern Province. The Jafurah basin hosts the largest liquid-rich shale gas play in the Middle East, spread over an area measuring 17,000 square kilometres and holding an estimated 200 trillion cubic feet of gas.

Aramco awarded $10bn-worth of subsurface and engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contracts in November 2021, marking the start of the development of the Jafurah unconventional gas field, said to be the largest non-associated gas resource base in Saudi Arabia.

As part of the next development phase, Aramco plans to build a facility with the potential to process up to 2 billion cubic feet a day (cf/d) of raw gas produced from the Jafurah field. The Jafurah second expansion phase will also include EPC of large gas compression facilities and key units for natural gas liquids (NGL) fractionation.

MEED recently reported that Aramco is close to officially awarding contracts for the five main EPC packages of the Jafurah second expansion phase, estimated to be worth $10bn combined.

Carbon capture scheme

Meanwhile, Aramco is endeavouring to make its core operations more environmentally friendly to meet its target of attaining net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 and in line with Saudi Arabia’s net-zero emissions by 2060 target.

To that end, Aramco has undertaken a project to develop a carbon capture and storage infrastructure in Saudi Arabia that will tap carbon dioxide (CO2) discharge from its gas processing plants.

The accelerated carbon capture and sequestration (ACCS) scheme aims to capture CO2 from Aramco’s northern gas plants of Wasit, Fadhili and Khursaniyah, as well as from the operations of its subsidiary Saudi Basic Industries Corporation (Sabic) and Saudi industrial gases provider Air Products Qudra.

Aramco is expected to reach a financial investment decision on the ACCS project by the end of the year. The two planned phases of the project are estimated to require a total capital expenditure of between $1.5bn and $2bn.

The ACCS project’s initial phase is expected to have a capacity of about 9 million tonnes a year, with the collection pipeline system designed to support its future expansion.

Aramco has brought on board US oil field services provider SLB (formerly Schlumberger) and Germany-headquartered Linde, the world’s largest industrial gas producer, as partners for the project’s initial phase. The second-phase partners are US-headquartered Air Products and oil field services provider Baker Hughes.

EPC works on the first phase of the ACCS project are expected to take three years, with commercial operation scheduled for 2027.

  • Gulf liquidity outpaces Syria’s financial reconnection

    16 June 2026

     

    Syria has the capital it needs to begin rebuilding. What it lacks is a banking system capable of moving that money at scale, and through 2026, the gap between the availability and mobility of funds has set the ceiling on recovery.

    The capital itself is overwhelmingly Gulf and Turkish, deployed along clear lines rather than in a scramble. The $216bn rebuild estimated by the World Bank in its October 2025 damage assessment has room for several principals, and so far they are not competing for the same ground.

    Qatar’s UCC Holding anchors two of the largest commitments: a $7bn power generation programme and a $4bn rebuild of Damascus International airport, both under contract since late 2025. The consortiums lean heavily on Turkish contractors, Cengiz and Kalyon among them.

    Saudi Arabia’s package, announced in Damascus on 7 February, tilts to infrastructure and services: a SR7.5bn ($2bn) phased rebuild of Aleppo’s airports through the newly launched Elaf Investment Fund, and an STC fibre-optic and datacentre build worth more than SR3bn ($800m).

    Regional diplomacy is taking precedence over the commercial carve-up: Turkish President Recep Erdogan and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman agreed in Riyadh in early February to coordinate on Syrian reconstruction.

    Abu Dhabi’s political embrace came more slowly than Riyadh’s or Doha’s – out of caution over the Islamist-led government– but the UAE’s major ports groups moved decisively.

    Dubai’s DP World signed for Tartous in July 2025 and its 30-year concession went operational in mid-November. AD Ports followed on 6 November with a $22m purchase of 20% of the Latakia container terminal – run by France’s CMA CGM – which handles over 95% of Syria’s container volumes.

    The wider UAE play has since broadened amid the US-Iran conflict in the Gulf, during which Syrian President Ahmed Al-Sharaa repeatedly voiced solidarity with the UAE.

    In May, Dubai stepped up institutionally. Investment Corporation of Dubai managing director Mohammed Ibrahim Al-Shaibani met Al-Sharaa to discuss channelling UAE capital into real estate, tourism and financial services, while Abu Dhabi’s Eagle Hills presented plans for two urban schemes in Damascus and Latakia, with a reported budget of $50bn.

    Syria’s railway establishment has meanwhile signed a framework with the Latakia terminal’s operators to study moving containers by rail to dry ports at Adra, Hisyah and Aleppo – the first thread connecting a Gulf-invested port to the inland network.

    Certification is key

    Saudi Arabia and Qatar cleared Syria’s $15.5m World Bank arrears in mid-2025, restoring its eligibility for grants. International financial institutions are reciprocating and returning, but cautiously – and not with a view to driving cash volume.

    The World Bank portfolio comprises 10 grant-funded projects worth just over $1bn over three years. The approvals so far are foundational: a $146m electricity grant restoring transmission lines and 400kV interconnections with Turkiye and Jordan; $225m across two grants for water and health; and $20m for public financial management.

    Transport is next in the queue rather than in hand. Syrian Transport Minister Yarub Badr said in June that Syria is seeking World Bank grants of between $65m and $200m for railway rehabilitation, to restore a transit corridor that reportedly moved up to 115,000 trucks a year between the Turkish and Jordanian borders before 2011.

    Broader financing has not followed, however. The IMF’s February mission extended no loan programme, nor was lending discussed, despite the fund noting tight fiscal management and a 2025 budget surplus.

    The IMF, and the World Bank alongside it, named the blockage: a banking sector that needs rehabilitating, central bank independence yet to be built, and restricted banking access still obstructing wider recovery.

    Gulf backers, for their part, can commit capital in a signing ceremony, but they cannot readily push it through a system only beginning to reconnect to the outside world.

    Piecemeal reopening

    A few key developments have occurred. In November 2025, the central bank (pictured) sent its first Swift message in 14 years to the US Federal Reserve, and its dormant account there was reactivated. Visa and Mastercard processing then resumed in May after a 15-year hiatus.

    These networks were never the key constraint, however. Correspondent banks must agree to clear Syrian transactions – and many institutions will likely continue to hold back on compliance and financial-crime grounds until proposed reforms are in place.

    The moves by foreign banks have been expectedly thin as a result, and Doha has led. Qatar National Bank’s Syrian unit – a legacy presence that rode out the war – became the first to switch card acceptance on, while Qatar’s Estithmar Holding has taken a 49% stake in Syria’s Shahba Bank, becoming the sole new foreign equity entry into the sector so far.

    The pound, trading near £Syr13,700 to the dollar, still sits slightly weaker than it did in 2024 – the last year of the old regime.

    The fragility of the machinery showed again in May, when Al-Sharaa moved central bank governor Abdulkader Husrieh – who had overseen the Swift reconnection – to the ambassadorship to Canada; instead installing Safwat Raslan, the head of the state reconstruction fund, as his successor.

    Some analysts read it as a sign of tension within the leadership over monetary policy and governance. It also flashed a warning: an institution the IMF wants independent had just changed hands at the president’s discretion.

    At a June conference, the new governor pledged “institutional work and well-studied planning” with no “improvised or unilateral decisions”, defining himself against the tenure he replaced.

    Raslan’s first measures constituted delays and institutional loosening. He reversed a Husrieh restriction that had confined the banknote changeover to bank branches – readmitting exchange companies and money-transfer firms – and extended the exchange deadline to the end of July. It marked the third such extension of a window first set at 90 days from the 1 January launch, with the original deadline having slipped by four months.

    Conditional funding

    The cashflow blockage is moulding Damascus’s financing strategy: take the institutions’ endorsement, but decline their direct lending, and lean on funding with fewer strings.

    Rather than qualifying for an IMF programme and accepting its conditions, it is routing donor money through the Syrian Development Fund, which is now run by the man just made central bank governor – concentrating the reconstruction purse and monetary authority in one pair of hands.

    The approach spares Syria a debt overhang, but it also leaves reconstruction dependent on Gulf commitments that arrive at the pace of politics rather than as drawable finance.

    The near-term tests are already dated. The banknote changeover – at 63% as of early June – must close by 31 July, and the banking reforms specified by the IMF must be implemented.

    If both hold, the pledged billions will gain a financial system to land in. If either slips, Syria’s reconstruction remains a stack of signed announcements waiting on the financial machinery to catch up.

  • Jordan consolidates as deeper reforms lag

    16 June 2026

     

    The past 12 months have tested whether a technocratic Jordanian government installed to address the country’s creeping fiscal crisis can hold the line while the region around it convulses.

    On that narrow measure, it has largely succeeded, though more by adhering to an inherited programme than by breaking new ground. The question of whether Amman can move beyond budget discipline into structural reform remains open.

    The most consequential developments of the past year have spoken more to Jordan’s dependence on external capital than to any decisive shift in domestic policy.

    The fiscal line

    When King Abdullah II appointed Jafar Hassan prime minister in September 2024, he installed a figure who had served as his chief of staff and, earlier, as deputy prime minister for economic affairs, with a specific brief to cut public debt. The choice put fiscal credibility in the chair.

    Hassan inherited a wide fiscal gap. The overall government deficit stood at 7.3% of GDP in 2024, with gross public debt at 82% of GDP and the IMF programme targeting a reduction below 80% by 2028. Growth came in at 2.6% in 2024 and is projected at 2.7% in both 2025 and 2026 – providing little support to consolidation efforts.

    The deficit is narrowing – the IMF projects 6.3% of GDP in 2025 and 5.4% in 2026 – on the back of concrete revenue measures: higher taxes on electric vehicles and e-cigarettes, the deferral of a planned customs-tariff cut, and the collection of tax arrears. Losses at the National Electric Power Company (Nepco), the state-owned single buyer, were held to 1.1% of GDP in 2024, against an expected 1.3%.

    Much of that 2024 performance, though, preceded Hassan’s September appointment, and the consolidation is, in that sense, the programme’s trajectory rather than a break attributable to the new government. A March 2026 directive curbing government vehicle use and freezing official foreign travel – tightened as the regional conflict strained the budget and extended through year-end – speaks to the active restraint being applied.

    The discipline is real, but it is the plumbing of the public finances – revenue, tariffs, arrears, loss containment – not the structural reform of the economy.

    The harder reforms

    The reforms that would lift growth and create jobs have gone virtually untouched. Labour market flexibility, stronger competition, and higher female and youth participation have recurred as priorities through successive IMF reviews but have run up against public-sector privilege and entrenched interests.

    The resulting stagnation shows in the numbers. Growth, projected at 2.7% through 2026, sits well short of what the Economic Modernisation Vision demands: a doubling of GDP by 2033 – implying sustained growth at roughly twice the current rate – in order to create one million jobs.

    The labour market is where the failure is sharpest, and where a narrower deficit changes nothing. Unemployment among Jordanians fell to 21.2% in the fourth quarter of 2025, the lowest since early 2020, but barely changed from 21.4% the previous quarter.

    Within that is a widening gender split: male unemployment fell a full point year on year to 17.2%, while among Jordanian women it rose to 34.8%, up 2.6 points. The modernisation plan promises the opposite – a doubling of female labour force participation from 14% to 28% by 2033, from a base among the lowest in the world.

    The distance between that participation target and the worsening female jobless rate illustrates how far the structural agenda still has to travel.

    Gulf capital and the Aqaba corridor

    With domestic reform slow, Amman leans on external capital to meet its infrastructure needs and stimulate the economy – though even that is faltering. Foreign direct investment ran at $1.3bn in the first three quarters of 2024, or 3.3% of GDP, down from $1.6bn a year earlier, and eased further through 2025.

    The most strategically significant deal of 2026 binds Jordan to a bet on regional logistics: the April signing with the UAE of a $2.3bn agreement to build the 360-kilometre Aqaba Port Railway, structured as a 50/50 joint venture.

    The rail project was first signed in September 2024 and sits within a broader $5.5bn investment framework agreed in 2023. MEED understands that the first-section construction contract is now being finalised and second-section bids are under evaluation, with financial close expected in early 2027.

    The Jordanian half is held by the Jordan Phosphate Mines Company, Arab Potash, the Government Investments Management Company and the Social Security Investment Fund. On the UAE side are Abu Dhabi sovereign investment platform L’Imad Holding, with Etihad Rail as the venture’s executing arm.

    The line will carry around 16 million tonnes of freight a year – some 13 million tonnes of phosphate and 2.6 million tonnes of potash – from the mines at Shidiya and Ghor Al-Safi to Aqaba’s terminals.

    The corridor is designed to extend north from Aqaba toward Amman, Syria and Turkey, and south to Saudi Arabia, positioning Aqaba – Jordan’s sole port – as a Red Sea logistics node at a time of acute concern over supply-chain chokepoints.

    For the UAE, the northward reach is the point. Abu Dhabi has moved over the past year to control Syria’s Mediterranean coast – DP World took a 30-year, $800m concession at Tartus; AD Ports took a stake in the container terminal at Latakia – and a rail line running from the Red Sea towards the Syrian border would knit those positions into a corridor from the Gulf to the Mediterranean. For Jordan, it is inward investment, lower export costs and a potential jobs source.

    Dependence on external finance is a standing caveat, however. Jordanian projects have stalled at this stage before, conflict or no conflict: the estimated $2.6bn expansion of the refinery at Zarqa, 25 kilometres northeast of the capital, has been stuck over financing since bids were received in 2021.

    The planned National Water Carrier desalination scheme – targeting financial close in July 2026 at a capital cost estimated at $4.3bn – is the bellwether to watch. If that moves on timeline or terms, the rail scheme may well follow.

    Near-term outlook

    The next two years point to continued consolidation under the IMF programme, Gulf-backed infrastructure edging towards financial close and growth holding near 3% at best.

    Hassan’s test will be to not simply hold the line his predecessors had already drawn, but to advance the structural reforms – labour market flexibility, competition, female participation – that carry a political price and that consolidation cannot substitute for.

    Those reforms have stalled for a decade under governments with more room than this one. Whether Hassan’s administration can deliver what its better-placed predecessors did not is the question that will decide whether the headline growth rate ever moves.

  • Siemens Energy to supply turbines for Taweelah C plant

    16 June 2026

    Germany’s Siemens Energy has announced it will supply gas and steam turbines for the 2.6GW Taweelah C independent power producer (IPP) project in Abu Dhabi.

    The project will be the third power plant at the Taweelah site to be equipped by Siemens Energy.

    The company’s scope of supply includes three gas turbines, two steam turbines, five generators and auxiliary systems for the combined-cycle power plant.

    In May, MEED exclusively revealed that a consortium comprising Saudi Arabia’s Al-Jomaih Energy & Water Company and Singapore-based Sembcorp Industries had been selected to develop the project.

    The consortium signed a power-purchase agreement earlier this month to develop the project alongside Abu Dhabi National Energy Company (Taqa).

    China Energy Engineering Corporation is the engineering, procurement and construction contractor.

    Emirates Water & Electricity Company (Ewec) will be the sole procurer of the electricity generated by the plant.

    The new facility is intended to provide greater flexibility to the power system, support grid stability and facilitate the integration of renewable energy into Abu Dhabi’s electricity network.

    The plant is also designed to enable the possible future deployment of carbon capture and storage technology, supporting the UAE’s target of achieving climate neutrality by 2050.

    Karim Amin, member of the executive board of Siemens Energy, said the project will include “the first HL-class gas turbine in the UAE”.

    The company said the SGT5-9000HL gas turbines and SST5-5000 steam turbines will be produced in Berlin and Muelheim in Germany.

    The SGen5-3000W and SGen5-2000P generators will be manufactured in Charlotte in the US.

  • Dubai to award $15bn of Al-Maktoum airport contracts this year

    16 June 2026

    Dubai Aviation Engineering Projects (DAEP) will award contracts worth over AED55bn ($15bn) by the end of this year for construction works at Al-Maktoum International airport.

    According to a statement published by the Emirates News Agency (Wam), the projects slated for contract awards include “the substructure works for the Western Passenger Terminal, the fourth aircraft concourse building, the automated people mover (APM) system and the baggage handling system, in addition to the superstructure works for the Western Passenger Terminal and the first, second and third aircraft concourses”.

    “The packages also encompass the long-span structural frameworks for buildings covering an area of about 1.5 million square metres (sq m), infrastructure works for the southern airfield area, as well as power generation and district cooling plants supporting the construction programme,” the statement added.

    “The award of facade and roofing packages is also planned during the course of this year,” said Suzanne Al-Anani, CEO of DAEP.

    DAEP has already awarded contracts valued at about AED13bn, with construction works currently under way on several airport packages. These include enabling works, the second runway, and the initial structural foundations for passenger terminals and gates.

    Construction progress

    In May last year, MEED exclusively reported that DAEP had awarded a AED1bn ($272m) deal to UAE firm Binladin Contracting Group to construct the second runway at the airport.

    The enabling works on the terminal are also ongoing and are being undertaken by Abu Dhabi-based Tristar E&C.

    Construction on the project’s first phase is expected to be completed by 2032.

    Construction on substructure works began in November last year, when DAEP formally selected a contractor to deliver the package.

    The government approved the updated designs and timelines for its largest construction project in April 2024.

    In a statement, the authorities said the plan is for all operations from Dubai International airport to be transferred to Al-Maktoum International within 10 years.

    According to an official description on DAEP’s website, the expanded airport’s West Terminal will be a seven-level, 800,000-square-metre facility with an annual capacity of 45 million passengers.

    It will be the second of three terminals at Al-Maktoum International airport, linked to the airside by a 14-station APM system.

    In September 2024, MEED exclusively reported that a team comprising Austria’s Coop Himmelb(l)au and Lebanon’s Dar Al-Handasah had been confirmed as the lead masterplanning and design consultants on the expansion of Al-Maktoum airport.

    The airport’s construction is planned to be undertaken in three phases. The airport will cover an area of 70 square kilometres (sq km) south of Dubai and will have five parallel runways, two terminal buildings, seven concourses and 430 aircraft gates

    It will be five times the size of the existing Dubai International airport and will have the world’s largest passenger-handling capacity of 260 million passengers a year. For cargo, it will have the capacity to handle 12 million tonnes a year.

  • Eleven contractors bid for Yanbu seawater cooling project

    16 June 2026

     

    Eleven contractors have submitted bids for a contract to build a seawater cooling system in Yanbu Industrial City, Saudi Arabia.

    The estimated $70m project is being developed by the Royal Commission for Jubail & Yanbu (RCJY).

    The project involves the construction of a seawater supply and re-cooling pipeline system serving industrial operations in the petrochemical area. The scheme is intended to reduce the need for individual cooling facilities at separate sites.

    The engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract was tendered on 8 March, and bids were submitted on 9 June.

    The bidders include:

    • Al-Fateh International Company for Water & Electricity (Saudi Arabia)
    • Al-Yamama Company (Saudi Arabia)
    • Alsaad General Contracting (Saudi Arabia)
    • Aqua Arabia Water Company (Saudi Arabia)
    • China Harbour Engineering Company (China)
    • Masco Group (Saudi Arabia)
    • Mofarreh Alharbi & Partners (Saudi Arabia)
    • Saad Ali Al-Essa Group (Saudi Arabia)
    • Saudi Services for Electro Mechanic Works (Saudi Arabia)
    • Sayegh Group of Companies (Saudi Arabia)
    • Union General Contractor (Saudi Arabia)

    The scope of work includes seawater intake structures and screening facilities, a pumping station, manholes and valves, a control building, seawater pumps, strainers and inlet and outlet headers.

    The contract also covers the installation of cooling water supply and return transmission pipelines, as well as a discharge outfall and diffuser system.

    According to MEED Projects, RCJY has awarded construction contracts for three seawater cooling projects in 2026.

    Mofarreh Alharbi & Partners secured a $40m seawater cooling system project in Jubail 2, while China Geo-Engineering Corporation won a contract to upgrade the seawater cooling network in Ras Al-Khair Industrial City.

    Local firm Bin Jarallah Group of Companies was also awarded a contract to expand the seawater cooling network in Jubail’s Plaschem Area.

    Meanwhile, Beijing-headquartered China Harbour Engineering Corporation is continuing construction on another project for RCJY.

    The project comprises a seawater cooling system catering to Jizan City for Primary & Downstream Industries. Commissioning is expected later this year.
