Hawiyah NGL project is now nearly 90% complete 

(MENAFN - Saudi Press Agency) The giant Hawiyah Natural Gas Liquids Recovery Plant (HNRP) Project is on track for completion, and to get all the key players on board for the final push, Saudi Aramco and contractor CEOs met recently for the in-depth review and work progress of the project.

The CEOs focused on the road to timely completion of the project, which is now nearly 90 percent done. Project team members and contractors reaffirmed their commitment to place the plant in service on time without compromising quality or safety.

The project is one component in the capacity expansion that the Kingdom and the company are taking on to meet the growing petrochemical industry demands of the nation and the world.

At the peak of construction, 14,000 workers swarmed the site, and 65 million work hours have gone into the project.

One of the company's strategic imperatives is boosting the Saudi economy, so more than 60 percent of the material and services were procured through in-Kingdom sources, including 100,000 tons of pipe. Major vessels, including a de-ethanizer and a debutanizer, also were fabricated in-Kingdom.
