Fluor Corporation’s ICA Fluor industrial engineering-construction joint venture with Empresas ICA, S.A.B. de C.V. has been awarded 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.
ICA Fluor will be responsible for the engineering, procurement, construction and start-up services for the electromechanical works and tie-in of the new system to connect a 77-kilometer, 36-inch diameter pipeline to transport gas and crude oil from the Litoral offshore platform to the processing facilities in the marine terminal. The project is expected to be completed 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 modernization of their gas transportation system to service increasing demand,” said director general of ICA Fluor, Juan Carlos Santos Fernandez.
