Oil & Gas Telecom Contractor in Saudi Arabia
Telecom engineering and delivery for Saudi oil and gas projects — from our Al Khobar office in the Eastern Province.
Saudi ArabiaOil & Gas Telecom Contracting in Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia is where much of Exctel’s offshore telecom track record was built. Working under EPC contractors for Saudi Aramco, Exctel has engineered and delivered telecommunications packages across the Zuluf, Safaniya, Marjan and Abu Safah developments — from a 28-platform multi-vendor package at Zuluf to fibre and radio infrastructure supporting the expansion of the world’s largest offshore oilfield. Our Al Khobar office in the Eastern Province supports that work directly, close to the operators, EPC contractors and fabrication yards the Kingdom’s projects run through.
The oil & gas telecom landscape in Saudi Arabia
Saudi projects are governed by a defined technical framework. Saudi Aramco engineering standards and material specifications set the requirements a telecom package must satisfy, and compliance is demonstrated through documentation, inspection and testing at every stage rather than asserted at the end — which makes standards knowledge a delivery capability, not a formality. Scale is the second factor: offshore developments here are counted in dozens of platforms and jackets, so packages must be engineered for repeatability, multi-vendor interoperability and consistent quality across many near-identical installations. Third is the commercial framework, where In-Kingdom Total Value Add commitments shape sourcing, resourcing and localisation. Alongside the offshore programmes, unconventional gas development, the gas network expansion and Vision 2030 industrial investment continue to widen the scope of work.

Oil & Gas Telecom Contracting in Saudi Arabia — questions answered
Direct answers to common questions from project and procurement teams.
Does Exctel have an office in Saudi Arabia?
Yes. Exctel’s Saudi office is in Al Khobar, in the Eastern Province, close to the operators, EPC contractors and fabrication yards through which the Kingdom’s oil and gas projects are delivered. It supports engineering, project delivery, site services and after-sales support.
Which Saudi Aramco projects has Exctel worked on?
Exctel has delivered telecommunications scopes on several Saudi Aramco developments: the Zuluf AH West and AH East oil facilities, where a multi-vendor telecom package spanned 28 offshore platforms; the Safaniya Expansion Project, supporting the world’s largest offshore oilfield; and the CRPO projects at Abu Safah and Marjan, covering offshore jackets and production deck modules.
Can Exctel deliver telecom packages at offshore programme scale?
Yes. The Zuluf scope covered 28 offshore platforms with explosion-proof CCTV, IP telephony and LAN, TETRA and VHF radio, and GSM and DWDM transmission integrated across multiple vendors. Work at that scale depends on repeatable design, disciplined interface management and consistent quality across many near-identical installations.
Does Exctel engineer to Saudi Aramco standards?
Yes. Exctel engineers to the client’s governing standard set, including Saudi Aramco engineering standards and material specifications, alongside IEC 60079 and IECEx requirements for hazardous-area equipment. Compliance is built into design, documentation, inspection and testing throughout, rather than addressed at final review.
How does Exctel support IKTVA and localisation requirements?
Exctel’s Al Khobar office provides in-Kingdom engineering and delivery capability, which contributes to a project’s IKTVA position. The specific balance of in-Kingdom and overseas work, sourcing and local resourcing is agreed with the operator and main contractor to suit each project’s commitments.
