Saudi Aramco and Dow Chemical, partners in a previously announced multibillion-dollar Ras Tanura Integrated Project (RTIP), have changed the configuration of some of the facilities to save on investment costs, CW has learned. They are also looking at a possible shift of location away from Ras Tanura, possibly to Al Jubail or Ras Al Zaur where infrastructure already exists. The moves could save the partners $3 billion-$5 billion in investment costs, sources say. The original scheme would have required $20 billion investment, according to estimates. KBR, Fluor and WorleyParsons are working on the front end engineer- ing design (FEED) of the complex, with completion expected in September to be followed by a final investment decision by the partners.
