LNG

Air Products, the LNG equipment-maker now developing mega-projects in the Middle East, has signed a joint venture contract for a standard project in the Sultanate of Oman in the Arabian peninsula.

The Saudi Arabian Oil Company, Saudi Aramco, posted third-quarter net income of $11.8 billion as it planned future LNG and natural gas as well as new energy projects and reported record one-day output at one of its gas fields and more gas discoveries.

Air Products, the US maker of LNG processing equipment and a leading industrial gases provider and plant developer, reported a 13.4 percent rise in fiscal quarterly net income from continuing operations as sales declined 2 percent from a high base to $2.2 billion.
