Samsung E&A has won the prestigious MEED Projects Awards for the 15th consecutive year.
On November 10, Samsung E&A announced that its Jafurah Gas Processing Facility project in Saudi Arabia received the Special Award for Strategic Energy Infrastructure at the MEED Projects Awards ceremony held in Dubai, UAE.
MEED, a leading economic weekly in the Middle East, recognizes outstanding projects in the MENA region each year. Samsung E&A has maintained its winning streak since 2012.
The Jafurah Gas Processing Facility project is one of the largest unconventional gas field developments in Saudi Arabia, with Samsung E&A awarded the contract to carry out the entire EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) process by Saudi Aramco. Despite challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war, Samsung E&A achieved its first gas production for sale in December 2025.
Samsung E&A implemented a differentiated execution strategy for the Jafurah project to mitigate construction risks. Notably, the company utilized large-scale modularization, allowing for concurrent underground work and above-ground module fabrication, and applied PC construction methods to approximately 44% of the total concrete volume, maximizing off-site construction to enhance productivity.
A representative from Samsung E&A stated, "Winning for 15 consecutive years signifies the consistent trust that clients and the market have in our project execution capabilities. We will further solidify our position in the Middle Eastern market based on differentiated execution innovation and top-quality standards."
Additionally, Samsung E&A has been actively securing contracts in the Middle East, including a $3.5 billion contract for the SAN-7 fertilizer project from Saudi Arabia's SABIC Agri-Nutrients in September.
