MOSCOW (MRC) -- WorleyParsons has been
awarded a four-year project management consultancy (PMC) contract for the new
Assiut Hydrocracking Complex (AHC Project) in Egypt, by Assiut National Oil
Processing Company (ANOPC), reported Hydrocarbonprocessing.
The
contract is part of the upgrade of the refining capacity and efficiency in the
Upper Egypt area. Under the contract, WorleyParsons will oversee the basic
engineering phase, open book estimate, detailed design, procurement,
construction and commissioning of the AHC Project.
It is estimated the
new complex will process the conversion of 2.5 million tonnes per year of heavy
fuel oil into high quality petroleum products such as diesel, liquefied
petroleum gas, naphtha, kerosene and gasoline.
"We are pleased to
continue our relationship with ANOPC and support Egypt’s vision to further
expand their downstream oil industry," said Andrew Wood, Chief Executive Officer
WorleyParsons.
We remind that, as MRC informed before,
in June 2016, Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. announced that it had received a
contract to provide detailed engineering and procurement assistance services to
TCI Sanmar Chemical for its PVC-2 polyvinyl chloride plant expansion project in
Port Said, Egypt. When complete, the PVC-2 facility’s production capacity is
expected to be 200 kilo-tonnes per annum (KTPA). Combined with its other global
facilities, this takes TCI Sanmar’s total PVC production capacity to 400 KTPA,
strengthening the company’s position as one of the largest PVC producers in the
Middle East and North Africa. |
