Sinopec Service has announced that construction progress on the Master Gas System (MGS) Phase 3 project in Saudi Arabia has surpassed the 50% completion mark, marking a significant milestone in one of the Kingdom’s most critical energy infrastructure developments.
Under the project scope, Sinopec Service is responsible for the execution of Packages 6 and 7, which together cover nearly 700 kilometers of pipeline. These packages form a core component of Saudi Aramco’s MGS Phase 3 pipeline project, designed to expand and strengthen the national gas transmission network.
The MGS Phase 3 project serves as a vital gas transmission corridor linking the eastern and western regions of Saudi Arabia, playing a key role in enhancing energy security and supporting major industrial and economic development initiatives across the Kingdom.
Upon completion, the project is expected to significantly boost natural gas transportation capacity, ensuring a stable and reliable supply of clean energy. This development will contribute to Saudi Arabia’s long-term energy strategy and support sustainable, high-quality economic growth.
The contract, awarded in June 2024, is a turn-key fixed-price agreement valued at approximately SAR5.17 billion (around USD1.37 billion) with mechanical completion scheduled for May 31, 2027. Under the agreement, Sinopec’s subsidiary, Sinopec Oil Engineering and Construction Corporation, is responsible for the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) of the long-distance pipeline and associated facilities.
