Shell intends to roll over from the BDEP phase to the implementation phase with the appointment of Foster Wheeler as the engineering, procurement and construction management contractor for the plant and a significant part of the refinery modifications later in 2006, when the final investment decision will be taken.
Foster Wheeler was involved in the execution of a similar EO and MEG plant in Shell's joint venture complex in China.
Shell's Fang Yea Yee, General Manager for the project, said: "We believe that we will be able to benefit from the expertise and lessons learned for the Singapore project".
Umberto della Sala, Chief Executive Officer, Foster Wheeler Global E and C Group, added: "With our UK operation's in-depth knowledge of the Chinese EO and MEG plant, we are uniquely positioned to build on our own demanding high standards and our excellent working relationship with Shell to deliver this new EO and MEG plant and the refinery modifications safely and successfully".
The new EO and MEG plant, scheduled for completion in 2009, will use feedstock from Shell's proposed ethylene cracker on neighbouring Bukom Island.
Both the cracker and the EO and MEG plant are part of an overall investment programme, which includes integration of the facilities with Shell's existing refinery at Bukom to capture the benefits of oil-chemicals integration.
The Bukom refinery modifications, which will provide feedstock to the proposed ethylene cracker, are also due for completion in 2009.
The proposed modifications include revamp of existing units, addition of new units, new and revamped tankage facilities, plus tie-ins and connections.
