NMDC Energy has commenced fabrication operations at its advanced facility in Ras Al-Khair, Saudi Arabia, marking a major step in the company’s regional expansion strategy.
Located within the Ras Al-Khair Special Economic Zone, the 400,000 square meter yard is purpose built to support both offshore and onshore energy projects, with an annual production capacity of 40,000 tons.
The facility is equipped with advanced automation and digital technologies, offering full spectrum services including fabrication, rigging, maintenance, and modularization for complex energy infrastructure.
The development represents a significant investment of approximately $54.45 (AED 200 million), aimed at creating productive, efficient, and safe facilities that also contribute to emissions reduction. NMDC Energy’s integration of cutting edge technologies enables the delivery of innovative solutions aligned with evolving sector needs and the objectives of key partners such as Aramco.
The yard is already operational, with nine offshore jackets under production for long term client Aramco. The project supports national industrial development and localization goals while expanding NMDC Energy’s presence and capabilities within the Kingdom.
To support seamless execution, more than 1,800 skilled employees are being mobilized from Abu Dhabi to Saudi Arabia, ensuring high quality standards and timely delivery of energy infrastructure projects.
