Samsung Engineering expects to complete the execution of the whole EPC process by 2023.

Samsung Engineering president and CEO Sungan Choi said: “Samsung Engineering is honoured to receive this contract and believes that our previous regional experience, engineering excellence and partnership with the client lead to this order.

“Continuing to provide safe and quality projects, Samsung Engineering will ensure that this project will leave a mark in Saudi Arabia and will lead to building on our position in the Middle East overall.”

Entering service in Saudi Arabia in 2003, Samsung Engineering has since executed more than 30 projects worth $15bn.

In March 2018, Samsung Engineering secured two EPC contracts from Abu Dhabi National Oil Company’s (Adnoc) wholly owned subsidiary Adnoc Refining, valued at $3.5bn.
