State-run oil giant Saudi Aramco has completed over 80 percent of construction works at Jazan's industrial complex, chief executive officer, Amin Nasser, said in a statement.

 

Nasser added that almost 76,000 workers are participating in the project.

 

Jazan project is expected to start pilot operations by mid-2018, Argaam earlier reported.

 

The refinery will have the capacity to process 400,000 barrels per day (bpd) of Arabian heavy and medium crude oil, produce 80,000 bpd of gasoline, 250,000 bpd of ultra-low sulphur diesel, and over one million tons annually of benzene and paraxylene products.

 

The Jazan refinery is part of a SAR 26 billion project that includes a 2,400 megawatt power plant to meet the refinery’s energy demands.
