Saudi Aramco Will Not Hit Khursaniya 500KB/D Target On Schedule

[hatrack]

Saudi Aramco's plans to boost production at its Khursaniyah oil field by 500,000 barrels a day (b/d) by April are unlikely to be met, according to contractors working on the project.

Two senior executives working on different parts of the scheme say that only a limited increase in supplies will be possible by mid-April, with the full expansion delayed because of a shortage of skilled contractor labour.
