Fluor
Corporation (NYSE: FLR) announced today that it was awarded a
contract by Empresa Nacional del Petróleo (ENAP) for the engineering,
procurement and construction of a new process unit at its Biobío
refinery in Chile. Fluor booked the undisclosed contract value in the
fourth quarter of 2016.
Fluor will perform the engineering, procurement and construction
services to install a new flue gas steam generator, a wet gas scrubber
and purge treatment unit to treat residual gas generated in the
refinery’s fluid catalytic cracker that will reduce air emissions. Fluor
is also responsible for interconnections between the new and existing
unit, which will occur during a schedule-driven 2017 turnaround.
“We leveraged our extensive Chilean experience, strong relationships
with local contractors and our global refining expertise to develop the
construction-driven execution plan that meets the client’s
requirements,” said Mark Fields, president of Fluor’s Energy & Chemicals
business in the Americas.
“While Fluor has been active in Chile for more than 35 years, this
project is significant for us as it marks our entry into the oil and gas
market in Chile,” said Andrés Beran, Fluor’s vice president of sales for
Latin America. “We look forward to making this project the first of many
to be executed for ENAP in the coming years.”
