Sarens lifts Saudi gas ambitions at Jafurah field

SARENS, a global leader in heavy lifting and engineered transport, is playing a key role in the Jafurah Gas Field Development, a project set to dramatically increase Saudi Arabia's gas production. The company has deployed a specialised fleet of cranes and transporters to handle the massive components of the gas processing facility, a critical part of the kingdom's energy strategy.

The Jafurah development, which began its first phase of construction in late 2022, is designed to meet growing domestic demand and ambitious liquefied natural gas (LNG) export targets.

Once the full infrastructure comes online in 2027, the two-phase project will boost Saudi Arabia's gas output from approximately 14 billion cu ft per day (bcfd) to more than 18 bcfd.

Sarens was contracted by Samsung Saudi Arabia for the heavy lift and transport operations. The company's engineering team selected three cranes with lifting capacities of 1,250, 600, and 150 tons, along with a 120-axle self-propelled modular transport (SPMT) to manage the project's scale.
