Project to achieve U.S. EPA Tier 3 gasoline sulfur standards
Fluor
Corporation (NYSE:FLR) announced today that it was selected by a
division of Marathon Petroleum Corporation (Marathon) to execute the
engineering and procurement scope for a major reconfiguration at
Marathon’s Galveston Bay and Texas City, Texas refineries. Fluor will
book the undisclosed contract value into backlog in the first quarter of
2017.
“Fluor continues to provide sustaining capital services at five Marathon
sites across the United States, and has supported the Texas City and
Galveston Bay operations since 2013,” said Mark Fields, president of
Fluor’s Energy & Chemicals business in the Americas. “Having previously
executed the initial studies and early engineering for these projects,
we are proud to progress them through the engineering and procurement
phase.”
The reconfiguration will create a more efficient operation, allowing the
two refineries to achieve updated U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
Tier 3 gasoline sulfur standards. The scope includes a new unit,
modernization of several existing units and modifications to the
utilities and offsites to support the scheduled process changes and
refinery connections. Fluor is also performing the front-end engineering
and design work for Marathon’s South Texas Asset Repositioning (STAR)
program.
