Fluor wins Halliburton chemicals plant project in Saudi Arabia

US-based Fluor Corporation has secured a contract to provide engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) for the Halliburton Specialty Chemicals Manufacturing Reaction Plant in Saudi Arabia, the company said in a statement on Wednesday.

PlasChem Park, located in Jubail Industrial City II next to Sadara’s new manufacturing complex, is a 12 square kilometers industrial space dedicated for the chemical and conversion industries.

The facility will produce a wide range of specialty chemical products and intermediates to supply both the upstream and downstream oil and gas production industries.

"Having completed the front-end engineering design, we are pleased to undertake the design and construction of this major investment that accelerates Halliburton’s strategic expansion of its fast-growing specialty chemicals business,” Simon Nottingham, president of Fluor’s Energy & Chemicals business in Europe, Africa and the Middle East, said.

“Fluor will use its full integrated solutions portfolio and its local execution capabilities to optimize the design and deliver a capital-efficient project with schedule certainty,” he stated.

Fluor’s scope of work includes engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning.

Fluor booked the undisclosed contract value in the fourth quarter of 2018.
