Mammoet bags lifting contract at Saudi gas storage project
Dutch firm Mammoet has secured a contract to transport and install components at the Aramco Hawiyah Unayzah Gas Reservoir Storage (HUGRS) project in Saudi Arabia, it said on May 5.
The work was awarded by South Korea's Samsung Engineering, which is serving as the project's main engineering, procurement and construction contractor. Over 60 components will be received either at the King Fahad industrial port in Jubail or at a fabrication facility in Dammam, and then transported to the project site 260 km east of Riyadh for installation. The heaviest components include four slug catchers, each weighing over 400 metric tons. Mammoet said.

HUGRS will boast a gas injection capacity of 1.5bn ft3/day and a withdrawal capacity of 2bn ft3/d. It will take surplus pipeline gas in winter months and inject it into a depleted field, and then withdraw it to meet high summer demand for air conditioning and other peak needs. Germany's Siemens won a tender to supply its centrifugal compressor systems last year.
