DUBAI (Reuters) - Saudi Aramco said on Tuesday it has awarded China's Harbour Engineering Arabia a contract to construct two drilling islands under the company's Berri Increment Program (BIP).
The BIP will allow Aramco to produce an additional 250,000 barrels per day of Arabian light crude oil from the Berri oilfield off Saudi Arabia's east coast, taking output to 500,000 barrels per day.
The project will be completed by 2020, the company said.
