The State Oil Company of Azerbaijan Republic (SOCAR), as a result of the
bidding process, awarded Fluor Limited (NYSE: FLR) a contract to provide
project management contractor services for its new oil-gas processing
and petrochemical complex (OGPC) in Azerbaijan. Fluor will book the
contract for an undisclosed value in the first quarter of 2015.
The OGPC megaproject has multiple interfaces not only between process
units, utilities and offsite facilities, but also between the new gas
processing and petrochemical facilities. The complex will be located on
a greenfield site 60 kilometres southwest of Baku.
As the project management contractor, Fluor will support SOCAR’s
selection and management of future contractors that will perform
detailed engineering, procurement, construction, commissioning and
start-up of the gas processing plant as well as front-end engineering
design, detailed engineering, procurement, construction, commissioning
and start-up of the petrochemical plants including associated offsite
facilities.
“Fluor is proud to be selected by SOCAR as the project management
contractor on this unique, world-scale project,” said Taco
de Haan, president of Fluor’s Energy & Chemicals business for
Europe, Africa and Middle East. “Fluor has demonstrated expertise in
managing downstream megaprojects that will allow us to deliver the
project on schedule while meeting safety, quality and cost objectives.”
The project will be performed from Fluor’s UK office in Farnborough
where the company serves a wide range of industries including energy,
