Start with
the news release Spanish refinery contract signed from
Foster Wheeler, which we summarised at the time by saying "Foster Wheeler's Spanish subsidiary, Foster Wheeler Iberia has been awarded a contract for the detailed engineering of new crude, vacuum and gas recovery units at La Rabida Refinery in
Huelva, Spain".
Earlier in the week,
we featured the news release Nigerian project specification contract awarded from
Foster Wheeler: "Foster Wheeler's UK and Nigerian subsidiaries have been awarded a contract for the project specification of the construction of two natural gas liquefaction trains".
In February 2007, we covered the news from Foster Wheeler
- take a look at Petrochemical design contract awarded
which says: "Foster Wheeler Energy has been awarded a design and consultancy (PMC) services contract for a new petrochemicals complex at Yanbu, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia".
Take a look also at the news release from Bentley Systems (UK), CAD company makes acquisitions,
