MOSCOW (MRC) -- Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. announced it was selected by ExxonMobil to perform engineering, procurement and construction management (EPCM) services for its Crude Flexibility Engineering and Construction Project at the ExxonMobil Refinery in Beaumont, Texas, said Streetinsider.
"We are pleased to build upon our long-term relationship with ExxonMobil and strengthen our presence at the Beaumont Refinery as we help them reach their goals on this project."
Company officials did not disclose the contract value, but noted that this project is a release against an existing long-term agreement.
The project aims to expand crude oil throughput at ExxonMobil’s Beaumont refinery, increase production in the jet fuel unit, and optimize energy usage by enabling the crude unit to run different crude slates.
In making the announcement, Jacobs Group Vice President Manuel Junco stated, "We are pleased to build upon our long-term relationship with ExxonMobil and strengthen our presence at the Beaumont Refinery as we help them reach their goals on this project."
Jacobs is one of the world’s largest and most diverse providers of technical professional and construction services.
As MRC informed before, in March 2015, the fire in a propylene unit in Beaumont, Texas, forced the company to shut down the entire chemical plant.
ExxonMobil is the largest non-government owned company in the energy industry and produces about 3% of the world's oil and about 2% of the world's energy.
