Aramco is gearing up to execute eighty-five projects over the next three years, most of which are currently in the planning stage. The planned projects span core oil and gas production, pipeline networks, and civil infrastructure. Aramco officials said these initiatives reflect Aramco’s broad investment strategy to strengthen existing operations while expanding into new domains. Sara Alkhonaiz, contracts adviser at Aramco’s Project Management Office Department/Market Research Unit, emphasized that “the award of these projects will translate into hundreds of contract packages located within different regions of the Kingdom.”
Oil, Gas, and Petrochemicals
In the energy sector, Aramco has lined up 20 projects. Seventeen projects will focus on oil, gas, and refining facilities, with upgrades to sulphur recovery units, gas field compression systems, and refining units. Two major petrochemicals projects are also planned. These include the Sasref+ project, part of the flagship liquids-to-chemicals programme, and an integrated refining and petrochemicals complex that remains under wraps.
Offshore Developments
In the offshore domain, Aramco has identified six key projects aimed at expanding or upgrading offshore oil and gas platforms while maintaining production potential. The company also plans twelve projects in the pipeline division to reinforce operations and its distribution network. These will include upgrades to trunklines and flowlines, pipeline replacements, and maintaining onshore potential, Alkhonaiz confirmed.
Expanding Civil and Infrastructure Projects
Beyond oil and gas, Aramco will advance 53 projects across civil infrastructure, marine, and related business lines. Fifteen projects will focus on infrastructure development, residential facilities expansion, and utilities upgrades. The remaining initiatives will cover marine and supporting civil works.
Massive Procurement Demand
Executing this ambitious program will trigger a large-scale procurement drive. Aramco expects significant demand for materials and equipment, including:
*21,000 km of carbon steel pipes
*2.2 million tons of structural steel
*41,000 km of cables
*1,700 km of transmission lines
*6,000 transformers and 24,000 switchgears
*113 million cu m of fill and compact
*3.3 million cu m of concrete
Future-Focused Growth
As reported by zawya.com, Aramco’s President and CEO, Amin Nasser, recently underlined the company’s long-term vision following its H1 results. He stressed that Aramco will continue to invest in new energies, digital innovation, and artificial intelligence, leveraging its scale and low-cost advantages to secure sustained success.
