(Arab News) -- PetroRabigh has asked
contractors for expressions of interest in building parts of an estimated USD
6-8 billion second phase of its sprawling petrochemical complex in Saudi Arabia,
industry sources said. The planned expansion includes engineering procurement
and construction packages for seven processing units and three associated
utilities projects, as per Reuters.
A total of 16 contractors
in Saudi Arabia have been invited to express their interest in bidding for the —
RP1 — package on Aug. 13. The work calls for some changes to the existing ethane
cracker.
In June, PetroRabigh, a joint venture between Japan’s Sumitomo
Chemical and Saudi Aramco started issuing bids for Rabigh II; the expansion of
the complex on the Red Sea coast of Saudi Arabia. Bids are due to close on Oct.
1.
In July, it offered a utilities package — UO1 — for bidding which is due
by Oct. 31.
As part of the expansion, PetroRabigh would increase the
capacity of the existing ethane cracker to take in an additional 30 million
cubic feet per day of feedstock ethane.
