Foster Wheeler Wins Coker Heater Contract for New COPC Refinery

Foster Wheeler Ltd's subsidiary Foster Wheeler USA Corporation, part of its Global Engineering and Construction Group, has been awarded a contract by CNOOC Oil & Petrochemicals Co., Ltd. ("COPC") for the thermal design, engineering, procurement, and material supply of two delayed coker heaters.

The heaters will be installed in a new four-drum delayed coking unit, which will be part of the new COPC Huizhou refinery at Daya Bay, Guangdong Province, People's Republic of China. This latest contract follows the 2005 award to Foster Wheeler of the process design package for the new delayed coking unit, which will be based on its leading Selective Yield Delayed Coking (SYDEC(SM)) process.

"Foster Wheeler is pleased to be awarded another contract by COPC," said Bruce Young, vice president and general manager of Foster Wheeler USA Corporation's Fired Heater Division. "This latest award, which consolidates our already strong position in the supply of delayed coker heaters worldwide, reflects the quality and the depth of our technical expertise. In addition, this award reflects Foster Wheeler and COPC's close and cooperative working relationship, which is focused on the successful completion of this important project for the People's Republic of China."

The Foster Wheeler delayed coker heaters, which use its proprietary Terrace-Wall(TM) design, are an integral component of the company's SYDEC(SM) process technology. Foster Wheeler is a market leader in the supply of delayed coking fired heaters and has supplied more than 80 coker heaters worldwide.
