Fluor has announced that it has been awarded an engineering service contract by Sasol Technology Limited for the Natref Clean Fuels 2 Project in Sasolburg, South Africa
Natref, the only inland crude refinery in South Africa, is a joint venture between Sasol and Total. The undisclosed contract value will be booked in Fluor’s Q2 of 2013.
The project is to develop, design and build new process units on the Natref site in Sasolburg to meet the legislated fuel specifications as promulgated by the federal government. In addition, some extensive modifications of existing units will be evaluated and considered.
One of the key components of the basic engineering phase is to perform detailed up-front planning and to develop a viable and cost-effective project execution strategy to safely drive the efficient delivery of the project within the approved budget, schedule and specification.
Peter Oosterveer, president of Fluor’s Energy & Chemicals Group, said, “This new contract further demonstrates Fluor’s strong position in the global clean fuels project development arena and our ability to deliver world-class work across Africa.”
This award follows the completion of a feasibility study and conceptual engineering by Fluor.
