Worley announced in a statement that, Saudi Arabian Mining Company (Ma’aden) has issued a Notice of Award to Worley and JESA International S.A. (JESA) to provide engineering, procurement, and construction management (EPCM) services for its Phosphate 3 Phase 1 Project.
The parties expect to work towards a definitive agreement for the in-Kingdom and out-of-Kingdom EPCM contracts in the next few months.
Under the EPCM contracts, Worley will provide in-Kingdom services and JESA will provide out-of-Kingdom services, for the design and construction of new process plants in the industrial cities of Wa’ad Al Shamal (WAS) and Ras Al-Khair (RAK) in Saudi Arabia.
