The collaboration will support energy industries in the region with effective measurement of gas quality through the implementation of integrated analyser solutions.

Zurich, Switzerland, August 17, 2023: ABB has signed a framework agreement with Samsung Engineering in Saudi Arabia to collaborate in engineering and procurement activities in the Kingdom. With this agreement, ABB becomes a single-source vendor for gas analyser system integration for Samsung in Saudi Arabia.

Together, the two companies plan to explore business opportunities and provide complete analytical solutions to the Saudi oil & gas market. Effective measurement of gas quality is key to safety and reliability, decreasing the environmental footprint and increasing profitability of the production process. ABBs solutions support the most demanding applications.

ABB is committed to helping customers in the energy transition. Between ABB and Samsung Engineering, we have an impressive portfolio that demonstrates technology expertise and technical capability. With this agreement, we are capable and ready to serve customers in Saudi Arabia, said Javier Suárez Díez, Global System Integration Manager at ABB.

ABBs analytical systems portfolio includes direct-read continuous gas analysers, online gas analysers using laser analytical techniques, rapid response process gas chromatographs and more. In addition to analytical systems, ABB provides gas analyser system integration with fully customised analytical systems and solutions – from initial engineering through fabrication, testing, field start-up, and support.

ABBs 10,000 square metre world-class integration facility for analytical systems, which the company is building in Dammam, will support the collaboration. The factory is expected to become a leader in the production of analytical systems in the region.

ABB and Samsung Engineering have worked together on several occasions, including on the Aramco Jafurah phase 1 project. With this agreement, they are ready to serve customers in Saudi Arabia.
