ICA Fluor, Fluor Corporation’s industrial engineering-construction joint venture with Empresas ICA, S.A.B. de C.V., won a new contract by Pemex for the construction of a gas compression system to service the Dos Bocas Marine Terminal located in Paraiso, Tabasco, on the Gulf of Mexico. The contract is worth USD 54M.
ICA Fluor will be responsible for the engineering, procurement, construction and start-up services for the electromechanical works as well as for the tie-in of the new system to connect a 77km, 36” diameter pipeline to transport gas and crude oil from the Litoral offshore platform to the processing facilities in the marine terminal. The project is scheduled for completion in the second quarter of 2015.
“This project provides ICA Fluor with the opportunity to support Pemex in advancing the key goals set forth in their strategic plan, which includes modernisation of their gas transportation system to service increasing demand”, said Juan Carlos Santos Fernandez, director general of ICA Fluor.
