Maire Tecnimont, an Italian energy contractor, has announced that two of its integrated E&C solutions businesses, Tecnimont and Tecnimont Arabia, have been awarded two lump-sum turnkey EPC contracts for a petrochemical expansion at the Satorp Refinery.
The Satorp petrochemical complex, a joint venture between Aramco and French multi-energy business TotalEnergies, will enable the conversion of internally produced refinery off-gases and naphtha, as well as ethane and natural gasoline, into higher-value chemicals.
The contracts correlate to the implementation of two packages
Worth $2 billion, the contracts correlate to the implementation of two packages, specifically the ‘Derivatives Units’ package, which includes a butadiene extraction unit, an olefin extraction unit, a methyl tert-butyl ether unit, a butadiene selective hydrogenation unit, a second stage pygas hydrogenation unit and a benzene & toluene extraction unit, and the ‘High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) & Logistics Area’ package, which includes two polyethylene units and the pertinent product logistic facilities.
The project is scheduled to be completed by 2027
The scope of works includes all-inclusive engineering services, equipment and material supply, construction activities, pre-commissioning, and commissioning. The project is scheduled to be completed by 2027.
Maire Group CEO Alessandro Bernini commented: “We are extremely proud of having been selected by Saudi Aramco and TotalEnergies for this major initiative. It is a further recognition of Tecnimont’s world-class capabilities to execute complex projects in complex environments, as well as our undisputed leadership in downstream petrochemicals.”
