Fluor Corporation has been awarded a contract to provide engineering, procurement and construction management services to build utilities and off-sites for the Grupa LOTOS Comprehensive Technical Upgrade Program in Gdansk, Poland. The project will be executed by Fluor's Gilwice, Poland, office.

The contract value for Fluor is more than EUR 200 million (US $275.3 million) and was booked during second quarter 2007. Grupa LOTOS is Poland's second-largest oil refiner and retailer.

"This project enables Grupa LOTOS to comply with the EU requirements concerning the quality of diesel oils, which will be in force as of 2009," said David Seaton, Fluor Energy & Chemicals group president. "Fluor is perfectly positioned to deliver these services to Grupa LOTOS and all of our clients. With this project Fluor Gilwice will expand its reputation for providing quality engineering, procurement and construction management work."

The scope of facilities covers the new tank farm, interconnections, LPG washing unit, revamping of LOTOS high voltage power distribution system, infrastructure, revamping of water systems and other outside battery limits units.

Initial project work has begun and construction is slated to begin in February 2008 with a February 2010 completion. The budget exceeds half million man-hours. Engineering and procurement services will be performed by Fluor offices in Gliwice and Haarlem, The Netherlands. From 1995-'98 Fluor Gliwice and Haarlem performed a similar job for Grupa LOTOS.

The contract is under execution as part of the development strategy of Grupa Kapitalowa LOTOS S.A. which provides for the construction of utilities and off-sites under the Comprehensive Technical Upgrade Program. The program objective is to increase the throughput capacity of the Gdansk refinery by approximately 75 percent, to 10.5 million tons of crude oil annually, with a higher conversion ratio.
