A pipeline expansion currently being carried at the Shaybah oilfield in the Empty Quarter of Saudi Arabia will be completed in the near future, sources have said.
Reuters reported that the work being carried out for the state-owned hydrocarbons giant Saudi Aramco will transport the crude produced at the field to an oil and gas separation facility and a major crude pipeline that transports the oil to processing facilities at Abqaiq.
The 217 kilometre-long pipeline is called the Shabab 2 and will run alongside the already operational 640 kilometre pipeline, Shabab 1.
Aramco awarded the EPC contract for Shabab 2, to Russian company Stroytransgaz in 2007.
