Saudi Aramco has awarded a US$1 billion-plus contract to India’s Larsen & Toubro Ltd (L&T) and Singapore-based Emas AMC for the expansion of the offshore Hasbah sour gas field, reports a business daily.



This is the second major contract win for the duo in recent months. Emas, a unit of Ezra Holdings, also teamed up last year with L&T to secure a long-term contract with Aramco to work on offshore facilities, says the financial newspaper.



The expansion of Hasbah will supply 2 billion standard cubic feet per day (scfd) of gas to the Fadhili plant, for which Aramco awarded a construction contract last year.
The remaining 500 million scfd of supply for the plant will come from the onshore Khursaniyah field.



Increasing supply of gas is a top priority for Saudi Arabia, people close to the matter told the paper.
Many industrial companies have complained about a shortage of gas hurting their expansion plans, as Saudi Arabia tries to use more of the fuel for power generation and water desalination instead of burning crude oil, says the daily.



Work on the expansion scheme includes building platforms and pipelines, with the field’s supply feeding the Fadhili gas plant, a US$6 billion complex that will include a gas processing unit and sulphur recovery, according to the paper.
