Fluor Corporation (NYSE: FLR) was awarded an engineering, procurement,
fabrication and construction contract by Fort Hills Energy L.P. for the
utilities scope of the Fort Hills oil sands mining project. The project
is located about 90 kilometers north of Fort McMurray in Alberta,
Canada. Fluor booked the contract for $1.3 billion in the third quarter
of 2014.
“Fluor looks forward to delivering our integrated engineering,
procurement, fabrication and construction solution to this significant
project in Canada’s Athabasca oil sands,” said Jim
Brittain, president of Fluor’s Energy & Chemicals business for the
Americas region. “Fluor will apply our unique modular design and
execution approach using our proprietary 3rd Gen Modular ExecutionSM
technology. We will fabricate a significant number of components offsite
in order to deliver both schedule and capital efficiencies to Fort
Hills.”
The Fort Hills project will be developed as an open-pit truck and shovel
mine and is planned to yield 180,000 barrels of bitumen per day at full
production. First oil is expected as early as the fourth quarter of 2017.
The Fort Hills project is owned by Fort Hills Energy L.P., a partnership
between Suncor Energy, Total E&P Canada Ltd. and Teck Resources Limited.
