MAIRE announced on 14 September 2026 that Nextchem, through its nitrogen technology licensor Stamicarbon, has been selected to provide the technology package for SABIC Agri-Nutrients’ SAN-7 large-scale fertilizer project in Al Jubail, Saudi Arabia. The company put the total value of the technology package at approximately €125 million.

According to MAIRE, Stamicarbon’s scope includes a licensing agreement with SABIC and contracts with the EPC contractor covering the process design package and proprietary equipment supply, based on its NX STAMI urea technology. The grassroots plant will comprise two urea production units, each with a capacity of 3,850 metric tons per day.

The release describes the award as a selection. It does not name the EPC contractor, give a delivery schedule or state when the contracts were signed. MAIRE said the selection supports the expansion of Saudi Arabia’s fertilizer production capacity and reinforces its presence in the Middle East.
