Fluor Corporation (NYSE: FLR) today announced that it has been awarded a
contract to provide engineering, procurement and construction and
commissioning services for the Habshan Gas Complex Expansion project by
Abu Dhabi Gas Industries Ltd. (GASCO), one of the largest gas processing
companies in the world. The value of the contract to Fluor is $999
million.
The expansion calls for the installation of two sulphur recovery units
with a total capacity of 1,600 tons a day, a new acid gas enrichment
unit and increasing the capacity of the pressure boosting units to feed
the additional associated gas from the Bab oil field for processing in
the current gas treatment trains. A major revamp and upgrade of the
distributed control system is also part of the scope.
Fluor's Camberley, UK, office is executing the work for the project,
which is estimated to be completed in 32 months. Fluor will be assisted
on the project by Athens-based Consolidated Contractors International
Company (CCC). CCC will undertake construction and other execution
support services.
"We are very pleased to be awarded this important contract," said Jeff
Faulk, Fluor's group president of Energy & Chemicals. "It demonstrates
our continuing relationship with GASCO and the Habshan plant, which was
originally designed and built by Fluor in 1984."
Fluor provides services on a global basis in the fields of engineering,
procurement, construction, operations, maintenance and project
management. Headquartered in Aliso Viejo, California, Fluor is a FORTUNE
500 company with revenues of $9.4 billion in 2004. For more information,
