US oilfield services heavyweight Baker Hughes has won a contract to supply gas technology
equipment for work on the third phase of Saudi Aramco’s master gas system (MGS) project.
While fresh oilfield projects in Saudi Arabia have taken a back seat following a government
directive to pause further expansion of its crude production capacity, Aramco’s gas-based
developments are likely to gain momentum in the next few years.
According to Baker Hughes, the contract, which was booked in the first quarter of 2024, was
ordered by Worley for and on behalf of Aramco.
Baker Hughes will supply 17 pipeline centrifugal compressors driven by aeroderivative gas
turbines for Aramco’s 4000-kilometre pipeline, which it described as "vital to the Kingdom’s
energy transition plans, with expectations to increase domestic gas distribution and contribute to
a reduction of carbon emissions and oil consumption".
The new order follows Baker Hughes' delivery of 18 centrifugal compressors for the first and
second phases of the project.
