Six high-efficiency gas compression trains, have been assembled locally in Dammam, Saudi Arabia, for the first phase of Saudi Aramco’s Master Gas System Expansion Project for the first time, marking a significant boost to efforts in promoting localization and developing local content.
The local manufacturing of the compression trains by GE Oil and Gas is in line with the vision of Saudi Aramco’s In-Kingdom Total Value Add Program (IKTVA), a program designed to drive domestic value creation and maximize long-term economic growth and diversification to support a rapidly changing Saudi economy.
IKTVA is a program designed to drive domestic value creation and maximize long-term economic growth and diversification to support a rapidly changing Saudi economy. GE Oil and Gas places a strong focus on localization – the first high-efficiency compression trains assembled localy, represent a key milestone in the IKTVA program initiatives. In 2016, six more trains will be assembled at GEMTEC as part of the second phase of the Master Gas System Expansion Project.
