Saudi Aramco plans gas plant at Moneefa oilfield

State hydrocarbon giant Saudi Aramco will build a gas plant at its Moneefa oilfield to process 1 billion cubic feet per day (cfd) of gas, an Aramco executive said on Saturday.

The plant would process gas from Aramco’s newly discovered offshore gas fields Arabiyah and Hasbah, the executive said adding that it is a “sizeable reserve discovery.”

Development of the Arabiyah and Hasbah gas fields, which are not associated with oil production, would supply around 1.8 billion cubic feet per day of gas, the Middle East Economic Survey reported in March.

According to Aramco’s website, the Arabiyah-1 well was tested and flowed 41.1 million cfd and the Hasbah-16 well was tested and flowed 62.1 million cfd.
