Fluor Corporation has been awarded a contract by Saudi Arabia’s Project Management & Development Company Ltd (PMD) to provide front-end engineering and design and project management consultancy services for the USD 3.5 billion Jubail petrochemicals complex. Fluor’s contract value was not disclosed. The multibillion-dollar petrochemical complex will be located in Al Jubail, Saudi Arabia. Once completed, the complex will include a 1.35 million-tons-per-year ethane/butane cracker, a 950,000-tons-per-year polyethylene plant, a polypropylene plant with capacity of at least 600,000 tons per year, a 530,000-tons-per-year ethylene oxide unit to support growing global demand for these consumer product precursors, and a 300,000-tons-per-year Bisphenol-A plant including phenol and cumene units. Additional derivative facilities will be installed for methylamines, ethanolamine, ethoxylates, butane-1, and benzene extraction. Agreements with Saudi Aramco for the supply of both ethane and butane feedstock are complete, along with permitting from the Royal Commission for the commercial use of land and water. Project completion is scheduled for 2008.
