Enoc Group’s operations expand into Saudi Arabia

DUBAI: Enoc Group in partnership with Rotary Arabia, one of the premier EPC contractors in Saudi Arabia, completed the building of vital pipeline and tank infrastructure to transport and store petrochemicals in the Kingdom’s Western Province.

The infrastructure development between Horizon Terminals Limited (HTL), Enoc’s terminals arm, and Rotary Arabia - the front-end contractors for the project, 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), associated pumps lines and export lines.

The project also included highly automated facilities in line with HTL’S vision. An estimated 60-70 per cent of the Yanbu facility output is the production of linear alkyl benzene (LAB) and normal paraffins (NPN), and the remaining 30-40 per cent of products produced being derivative products.

With GCC’S chemical capacity expected to increase by 33.6 percent in the next decade* reaching 231.8 million tonnes, driven by refining expansion and chemical integration, Enoc’s contribution to building robust infrastructure in Saudi Arabia will propel the production and manufacturing of petrochemicals in the Kingdom.

Arab Tank Terminal Limited (ATTL) - which is 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 from ATTL to Berth 21 at Port of King Fahad Yanbu as Farabi Petrochemicals aims to realise its vision of becoming the world leader in LAB production.
