Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--S&B Engineers and Constructors Limited (Houston, Texas) is at the forefront of the ongoing buildout of energy and refining projects in Texas, where it is lending its engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) services to nearly $6 billion in active projects, with natural gas-processing as the leading sector for the company's contracted services, according to Industrial Info's project database.

Enterprise Products Partners LP (NYSE:EPD) (Houston, Texas) accounts for nearly half of the estimated total investment value for projects involving S&B, which the energy juggernaut has signed to perform EPC work at its NGL fractionator complex in Mont Belvieu, Texas. The facility processes raw natural gas liquids (NGL) from the Permian Basin and Eagle Ford Shale into ethane, propane and butane and other products that are highly valued as feedstock at petrochemical plants, particularly along the Texas and Louisiana Gulf Coast.
Three NGL fractionation trains are under construction at the Mont Belvieu complex, each with a capacity of 150,000 barrels per day (BBL/d): the $500 million Train 10, set to wrap up in February 2020; the $500 million Train 11, set to wrap up in August 2020; and the $500 million Train 12, set to wrap up in January 2021. Upon completion, these three trains will bring the full complex's capacity to 1.25 million BBL/d. For more information, see Industrial Info's project reports on Train 10, Train 11 and Train 12.
S&B also is at work on Enterprise's $1.2 billion propane dehydrogenation (PDH) Unit 2 addition at Mont Belvieu. The project took a major step forward late last month, when Enterprise signed a long-term contract with LyondellBasell Industries N.V. (NYSE:LYB) (Houston, Texas), in which the latter would supply 35,000 BBL/d of propane as a feedstock to double Mont Belvieu's propylene output to 3.3 billion pounds per year. Mont Belvieu's existing unit processes the same amount of propane, also provided by LyondellBasell, into 1.65 billion pounds per year. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report and September 27, 2019, article - Enterprise Products Presses Ahead with Second PDH Project, LyondellBasell Shelves Own U.S. PDH Plans.
S&B also is building NGL fractionation trains for Energy Transfer LP (NYSE:ET) (Dallas, Texas) at its own complex in Mont Belvieu. The $350 million Train 7 and $350 million Train 8 would bring the 750,000-BBL/d facility's total capacity to 1.05 million BBL/d, as it adds NGL from the Permian, Eagle Ford and Woodford Shale to produce butane, propane, natural gasoline, ethane and other products. The trains are expected to wrap up in March 2020 and June 2021, respectively. For more information, see Industrial Info's project reports on Train 7 and Train 8.
Natural gas-related projects involving S&B in other parts of the U.S. include Caiman Energy LLC's (Dallas, Texas) $100 million Train 4 addition at its Natrium NGL Extraction & Fractionation Plant in Proctor, West Virginia. The cryogenic natural gas-processing unit is expected to have a capacity of 230 million standard cubic feet per day upon its completion, which is expected by the end of the year. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.
S&B also has a presence in the Petroleum Refining Industry, where it is at work on three units at Marathon Petroleum Corporation's (NYSE:MPC) (Findlay, Ohio) South Refinery in El Paso, Texas, each of which is expected to wrap up next spring: a $15 million upgrade to the fluid catalytic cracker unit (FCCU), which processes 29,000 BBL/d; a $12 million upgrade to Crude Unit 2, which processes 67,900 BBL/d; and a $10 million upgrade to the SF Alky Unit, which processes 10,000 BBL/d. For more information, see Industrial Info's project reports on the FCCU, Crude Unit 2 and SF Alky Unit.
