ZULUF Water Treatment Plant (Saudi Arabia)

The project involves construction and management of a water treatment plant for the Zuluf onshore oil facilities in Saudi Arabia. The contracts mark Fisia Italimpianti’s entry into the oil and gas industry and its return to the operation and maintenance segment of the water sector.

The first contract – in the form of an Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contract - includes the construction of a plant for the ZULUF Central Processing Facilities that is required for the onshore structures.
The construction is part of the Arab Heavy (AH) Crude Oil Increment of the Zuluf field development programme by oil giant Aramco.
Located in eastern Saudi Arabia, approximately 6 kilometres west of the airport in Tanajib, the plant will treat, degas and filter water for iron and suspended solids at a maximum production capacity of 185,000 cubic metres per day. The plant will reinject the water in the oil wells to facilitate the production of Arab Heavy crude oil by maintaining pressure in the wells.

The second contract - in which Fisia Italimpianti owns a 20 percent share in a joint-venture with Almar Water Solutions, Aljomaih Energy and Water Co Ltd and Aquatech International – involves the operation and maintenance of the completed plant for 25 years.
