MOSCOW (MRC) -- CB&I was awarded a contract by Russia's JSC Gazprom Neft for front-end engineering and design (FEED) services for a new oil refining complex at Gazprom Neft's refinery in Omsk, Western Siberia, said Hydrocarbonprocessing.
The existing refinery is currently the largest operating refinery in Russia. CB&I's project scope includes FEED development for multiple new process units, including a 2 million tpy hydrocracker unit licensed by Chevron Lummus Global (CLG), as well as hydrogen, sulfur and other associated units.
"CB&I has been selected for this significant project following the successful delivery of a similar hydrocracker complex earlier this year for Gazprom Neft in Pancevo, Serbia," said Philip K. Asherman, CB&I's CEO.
"CB&I appreciates Gazprom Neft's confidence in our ability to deliver results and is fully committed to meeting our client's expectations on this important project," he added.
As MRC wrote before, Gazprom Neft, the St. Petersburg-headquartered Russian oil and gas company, and Vietnam Oil and Gas Group (PetroVietnam) have signed a framework agreement setting out the terms of Gazprom Neft’s acquisition of a 49% interest in Binh Son Refining and Petrochemical Co. The two companies are currently in negotiations on financial terms of the acquisition. PetroVietnam has announced plans to reduce its 100% shareholding in the subsidiary to help finance a modernization and expansion project.
