"Foster Wheeler is pleased to be involved with EPCL in this important project", said Steve Davies, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Foster Wheeler Energy.
"This award recognises our in-depth technical expertise and our track record of delivering high-quality FEEDs for major international clients".
"This project is of extreme importance to EPCL so we needed to appoint an international contractor with a proven track record, including FEED and project management experience in the region", commented Hussain Sultan, Group Chief Executive EPCL.
"We are pleased to have selected Foster Wheeler, a contractor of high reputation in this field, to fulfill this important role".
The FEED to be undertaken by Foster Wheeler includes front-end design for the installation or revamp of various units within EPCL's condensate processing plant, and the preparation of a capital cost estimate and the invitation to bid for the EPC phase.
The new facilities, which include a new 70,000 barrels-per-stream-day hydrotreater, a continuous catalytic reformer and ancillary processing units, will allow EPCL to: upgrade its existing naphtha product to a low-sulphur petrochemical naphtha product stream; provide a 102 RON (Research Octane Number) reformate product stream; and operate the plant at full capacity using sour condensates.
New or expanded offsites and utilities will be provided to support the upgrade.
Other new products will include liquefied petroleum gas, butane and sulphur.
Mechanical completion is planned for 2007.
