Fluor Corporation (NYSE: FLR) was awarded an engineering, procurement,
fabrication and construction (EPFC) contract by Suncor Energy Oil Sands
Limited Partnership for a tank farm development project in the Athabasca
oil sands region in Alberta, Canada. Fluor booked the contract for an
undisclosed value in the first quarter of 2015.
The project will provide storage and blending for hot bitumen in
preparation for pipeline transport to the Athabasca Tank Terminal. In
addition to the tank farm, Fluor’s scope of work includes the connecting
pipeline.
“The project allows Fluor to capitalize on our experience delivering
engineering, procurement, fabrication and construction excellence in
Canada’s Athabasca region,” said Jim
Brittain, president of Fluor’s Energy & Chemicals business in the
Americas. “By implementing an integrated services approach using our
fabrication and module assembly resources, we will drive capital
efficiencies and delivery predictability.”
Fluor recently completed the front-end engineering and design work for
the project. The EPFC phase of the project, led by Fluor’s Calgary
office, began in March 2015. Commercial operations are expected to begin
in April 2017.
