With a production capacity of 1.2 million barrels per day, the Khurais Field Development Program is the largest industrial undertaking of its kind in the history of the industry.

Khurais is just one of several mega-projects currently in progress.It is expected to boost Saudi Aramco’s production capacity by 20 percent, going from 10 million barrels per day in 2004, to 11 million barrels per day currently, and to 12 million barrels per day by the end of next year.

The Khurais facilities will be able to process 1.2 million barrels of Arabian Light crude. A new gas plant will treat the associated gas, producing 70,000 barrels per day of condensate and 420 million cubic feet per day of gas.

The program will also increase the existing East-West NGL Pipeline capacity from 425,000 barrels per day to 555,000 barrels per day to manage the additional NGL produced at Khurais. Infrastructure work includes an airstrip, residential facilities for up to 1,000 full-time personnel and an industrial complex to handle facility maintenance.

The Khurais oil processing facility is a testament to Saudi Aramco’s unwavering commitment to do what it takes to meet the growing global demand for petroleum when it is called upon to do so.
