Technip, and Spain's Tecnicas Reunidas (TRE.MC) were cited among the main contractors for the project in June, when Saudi Aramco and Total said they would invest $9.6 billion in building the refinery.

Technip said its two contracts -- engineering, procurement and construction of hydro and catalytic conversion process units, some utility units as well as the interconnecting network and process control system of the whole refinery -- were due to be completed in the second quarter of 2013.

Technip, which had already carried out engineering and design work on the refinery, did not say how much the contracts were worth.
