Fluor Corporation (NYSE: FLR) announced today that its ICA Fluor
industrial engineering-construction joint venture with Empresas ICA,
S.A.B. de C.V. (BMV: ICA) (NYSE: ICA) signed a contract with
Petroquimica Mexicana de Vinilo (PMV), a joint venture between Mexichem,
the leading Mexican petrochemical company, and Pemex, Mexico’s
state-owned oil and gas company, for the revamp of the vinyl chloride
monomer (VCM) plant located within the Pajaritos petrochemical complex,
near Veracruz. The total contract value is approximately $205 million.
Fluor will book its $102.5 million share of the contract in the fourth
quarter of 2013.
ICA Fluor will be responsible for the engineering, procurement,
construction, maintenance and commissioning services of the works to
bring the VCM facility to its nameplate capacity of 405,000 tons per
year from its current nearly 200,000 tons per year. The project is
planned to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2015.
This revamp project will correct problems that have prevented the plant
from reaching its nameplate capacity. Petroquimica Mexicana de Vinilo is
a flagship joint venture between Pemex and Mexichem, and reaching the
plant’s production potential is a central element in its business plan.
