Severn Glocon Wins Saudi Aramco Wasit Order 24th October 2011

Severn Glocon, the critical service control and choke manufacturer, has won a major order to supply both general and severe service control valves to the Wasit gas processing facility, which will be the Saudi kingdom’s largest such facility.

The valves’ production will be split between Severn Glocon’s bespoke facility in Gloucester, UK and through the Jubail facilities of Binzagr, who are Severn’s local business partner.

“Our established partnership with Binzagr was key to us winning the tender process, explained Stuart Sykes, general manager Severn Glocon Middle East. “Saudi Aramco has expressed its requirement for more local involvement in the delivery of projects such as this and we have a relevant competitive advantage.”

Estimated to be costing between $6 and 8 billion, the Saudi Aramco Wasit Gas Program will process 2,500 million standard cubic feet of non-associated Khuff Gas from Arabiyah-Hasbah offshore field, with production scheduled to begin in 2014.

The Severn Glocon Group employs 500 people across the world and has been awarded the Queen’s Award for Enterprise in International Trade 2011.
