ICA Fluor, the industrial engineering and construction company jointly
owned by Fluor Corporation (NYSE: FLR) and Empresas ICA Sociedad

the engineering, procurement, construction and start-up support services
for a modular cryogenic plant and a fuel terminal for Pemex Gas y

Located in Reynosa, Tamaulipas, Mexico, the cryogenic plant, which will

consumption and the use of a compact Liquid Recovery Unit with
low-pressure drops and energy conservation," said Jorge Borja, ICA Fluor
general director. "The project confirms ICA Fluor's passion to provide
its clients cost-effective solutions focused on efficiency and
environmental protection."
