Foster Wheeler AG announced today that a subsidiary of its Global Engineering and Construction Group has been awarded a contract by Kuwait Petroleum International Lubricants for the provision of detailed engineering services for a brownfield lube oil blending plant to be built at Kuwait Petroleum's facility at Antwerp, Belgium.
