Total and Aramco plan to cut construction costs to less than $10 billion, he said at a conference in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday. “We’ve extended the bidding period to take advantage of falling prices.”

The refinery is expected to start production in 2013. Bidding for the work is still going on and 40 contractors are vying for 15 work packages, Sigonney said.
