Recently, we were awarded a contract by Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL) for a grassroots refinery at Paradip, Orissa State, India.
Foster Wheeler is undertaking the role of Managing Project Management Consultant for the major part of the development of the new 15 million tonnes per annum refinery and also executing the engineering, procurement and construction management (EPCm) for fifteen of the key refinery process units, plus offsites, utilities and infrastructure.
Our EPCm scope includes the crude distillation units, reforming, alkylation and butane isomerization units, plus significant offsites, utilities and infrastructure. The project is being executed from Foster Wheeler’s offices in the UK (Reading) and in India (Delhi, Chennai, Kolkata and the Paradip site).
"We believe this award demonstrates confidence in two of our key strengths, our broad and deep refining expertise and our proven track record in managing and safely executing the EPC phases of large, technically complex projects. We look forward to playing a key role in the safe and successful delivery of this strategically important project for IOCL,” said Michael J. Beaumont, chairman and chief executive officer of Foster Wheeler Energy Limited.
