In partnership with Rotary Arabia, one of the premier EPC contractors in Saudi Arabia, ENOC Group completed the build of vital pipeline and tank infrastructure to transport and store petrochemicals in the Kingdom’s Western Province.
Working together the companies saw the construction of four new pipelines from Farabi Petrochemicals’ Yanbu facility on the Red Sea coast to storage tanks at Arabtank Terminal Limited (ATTL).
ENOC’s contribution to building resilient infrastructure in Saudi Arabia will drive the production and manufacturing of petrochemicals in the Kingdom.
Arab Tank Terminal Limited (ATTL) – Horizon Terminals’ Saudi-based terminal, has a petroleum and chemical storage capacity of 288,100 CBM in 26 storage tanks; of which four have been revamped. Two additional pipelines were also constructed.
Saif Humaid Al Falasi, Group CEO of ENOC, said: “The GCC chemical industry today is predominantly focused on petrochemicals which make up 72 percent of its total production, with Saudi Arabia being the leading producer in the region, accounting for 68.2 percent of total chemical output.
“Our expansion into the Kingdom comes at a time when the regional market is poised to step up overseas production capacity by 7.6 percent. This strategic alliance with Rotary Arabia to boost transportation capacity also reflects ENOC’s regional growth plans in strengthening our terminalling footprint, while contributing to the Kingdom’s overall energy sector growth.”
Farabi Petrochemicals currently supplies to the domestic market and benefits from the Port of King Fahad Yanbu infrastructure to export NPN and LAB to the GCC, Europe and Asia. The new pipelines from its Yanbu facility will allow faster and more efficient transportation of Farabi’s petrochemical products – enabling growth due to improved export capacity of products domestically and internationally.
With ten terminals in Morocco, Djibouti, Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Singapore, HTL facilities are strategically located in key markets across the Mediterranean and Middle East. ENOC’s Horizon Terminals is a legacy business set up in 2003 and has a long history of establishing bulk liquid terminalling across regional markets – now a leading player in the Far East markets.
