The EPC work scope covers laying of over 800 kms of lateral gas pipeline, it said, adding that the value of the project will be confirmed upon contract execution.
MGS-3 project aims to expand the existing gas network to supply gas to various industrial consumers. This expansion is expected to enhance Aramco's ability to meet the growing energy demand in Saudi Arabia and replace liquid fuel burning, contributing to Saudi Arabia's drive towards a diverse energy mix.
Having roughly two decades of experience in cross-country pipelines, processing facilities, refineries and fertilizer plants, KPIL said it has commissioned over 10,000 kms of oil and gas and water pipelines and embraces best global practices in areas like project management, quality and health safety environment.
The latest EPC order represents a significant milestone and "reaffirmation of global acknowledgement of our capabilities. KPIL is focused on strengthening its presence in the oil and gas market in the Middle East region over oil and gas EPC business", Manish Mohnot, MD & CEO of KPIL, said in the statement.
