Fluor Wins Chile Refinery Contract
Chile's Empresa Nacional del Petróleo (ENAP) has awarded Fluor Corp. an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract for a new process unit at its Bio Bio Refinery, Fluor announced Wednesday.
"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," Mark Fields, president of Fluor's Energy & Chemicals business in the Americas, stated in a press release.
Under the contract, Fluor will perform the EPC 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, the company stated. In addition, Fluor said that it will be responsible for interconnections between the new and existing units that will occur during a schedule-driven 2017 turnaround.
"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," according to 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."
Fluor did not disclose the contract value in its announcement.
