The agreement entails the potential creation, in partnership with local entities, of an “EPC National Champion” capable of executing the full range of engineering, procurement and construction projects, maximising the employment of local resources.
Saipem said it "has a long-standing collaboration with Saudi Aramco, including the execution of a wide set of activities, from onshore and offshore engineering and construction to drilling activities, with onshore and offshore rigs."
