Our Client Larsen & Toubro has completed the EWG-03 section of the MGS-III Package 8 pipeline in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, using Qapqa automatic welding solutions. Operated by Saudi oil giant Aramco, the Master Gas System is one of the world's largest hydrocarbon networks.

A 120 km section of 56” pipeline was welded with a repair rate of just 0.6%, a result that reflects the consistency and performance of automated welding at scale.

Teams are now mobilized on EWG-04, the second phase of the total of 241 km pipeline scope, continuing to deliver high-integrity welds and operational efficiency.

This project, awarded to L&T Hydrocarbon, is part of the broader MGS-3 initiative to expand gas capacity and support Saudi Arabia’s domestic energy transition. The MGS Booster Gas Compression Station project will expand the capacity of the East-West Pipeline system to deliver sales gas around the kingdom.

Earlier, in June last year, Aramco had announced that it had signed 15 lump sum turnkey contracts, worth $8.8 billion, to kick off the Phase III expansion of the Master Gas System, which delivers natural gas to customers across the kingdom.

The expansion, being conducted in collaboration with the Ministry of Energy, will increase the size of the network and raise its total capacity by an additional 3.15 billion standard cu ft per day (bscfd) by 2028, through the installation of around 4,000km of pipelines and 17 new gas compression trains.
