Up to three leading international contractors are set to compete for a major onshore contract from Saudi Aramco for the expansion of its Uthmaniyah and Shedgum gas plants in Saudi Arabia as part of a project that is likely to be worth about $2.7 billion.
Project observers said Aramco recently issued tender documents to pre-qualified engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractors, of which two or three players are expected to ultimately submit bids.
