AMEC Wins Chevron Oil Refinery Revamp Contract

AMEC has been appointed by Chevron as its Engineering, Procurement and Construction Management (EPCM) services contractor for a multi-million pound revamp of a fluid catalytic cracking unit (FCCU) at its Pembroke oil refinery.

The FCCU currently feeds 90,000 barrels per day.

Starting immediately, AMEC will undertake design and engineering up to project sanction stage, after which it will carry out detailed engineering, procurement and construction management.

AMEC's design work involves the development of the licensed process designs and early stage studies from process technology companies UOC and KBC. The project will improve the reliability of the main fractionator, and with modifications to the FCCU to improve product yield.

"Securing this contract strengthens our relationship with Chevron, one of the world's leading energy companies," said John Pearson, Managing Director of AMEC's oil and gas business in Europe & West Africa. "Refining is an increasingly important part of the energy supply chain and is a growing part of our asset development and asset support full service capability."

AMEC has undertaken three previous FCCU revamps at the Pembroke refinery. The company is also currently working on refinery projects for the Belgium Refining Corporation, BP at Coryton, TOTAL at Milford Haven, the PetroChina Guangxi Petrochemical Company in China, as well as numerous refinery maintenance contracts around the UK.
