Mustang, a Wood Group company, has been awarded a contract by Columbia-based Ecopetrol to perform conceptual engineering and technology evaluations to optimize the production of polymers at Ecopetrol’s grassroots integrated petrochemical complex in Colombia. The study is part of Ecopetrol’s Petrochemical Master Plan. The study will look at ways to achieve maximum revenue from the production of polyethylene, polypropylene and aromatics products from ethane, LPG and naphtha feeds from the Barrancabermeja and Cartagena refineries and the Cusiana gas fields. Location options for the new facility include Ecopetrol’s Cusiana or Cartagena sites.
