Aramco receives bids for Jafurah gas project Saudi Aramco has received revised techno-commercial offers from
contractors bidding for the main packages of its estimated $3.5bn
Jafurah unconventional gas development project, according to sources.

Due to the business impact of Covid-19 and low oil and gas prices,
Aramco last year halted development of the Jafurah scheme, for which
it received a capital expenditure grant of $118bn from the Saudi
government in February 2020.

Aramco is understood to have revived the Jafurah development in the

second quarter this year, asking contractors to submit revised techno-
commercial bids for the main packages of the scheme.

Aramco has undertaken the project to build a greenfield plant to process

unconventional gas from the Jafurah onshore field, located in Saudi
Arabia’s Eastern Province. It is to be commissioned in 2023, according
to the original schedule.
