Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) firm Fluor Corporation (NYSE:FLR) (Irving, Texas) is involved in $1.87 billion worth of active projects that are set to begin construction before the end of the year, according to Industrial Info's project database. The company is a key player in North America's energy-related markets, where Petroleum Refining Industry projects lead its slate of fourth-quarter kickoffs.
Fluor will perform engineering work on several refinery-based projects across the U.S., two of which are part of Andeavor Corporation's (NYSE:ANDV) (San Antonio, Texas) clean products upgrade at a refinery in Anacortes, Washington. Andeavor, formerly known as Tesoro Corporation, expects to add a $170 million naphtha isomerization unit and perform a $20 million hydrotreater unit upgrade; the 10,000-barrel-per-day (BBL/d) isomerization unit will convert low-octane paraffins to high-octane paraffins, and reduce the sulfur content in gasoline; the upgrade will add a reactor to reduce sulfur content in the 30,000-BBL/d hydrotreater. For more information, see Industrial Info's project reports on the isomerization unit and the hydrotreater upgrade.
Tesoro changed to Andeavor following the acquisition of Western Refining Incorporated (El Paso, Texas) earlier this year. Western Refining assets include refineries in El Paso, Texas; Gallup, New Mexico; and St. Paul Park, Minnesota.
In addition to the Andeavor projects, Fluor will perform engineering for Total S.A.'s (NYSE:TOT) (Paris, France) $20 million hydrotreater unit upgrade at a refinery in Port Arthur, Texas. As with the Andeavor upgrade, it involves adding a reactor to reduce sulfur content in a 50,000-BBL/d gasoline hydrotreater, from 30 to 10 parts per million, to meet Tier 3 regulations. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.
A pair of Pharmaceutical & Biotech Industry expansions will feature Fluor as an EPC contractor: Ajinomoto Company Incorporated's (Tokyo, Japan) $35 million amino-acid plant expansion in Raleigh, North Carolina, and AstraZeneca plc's (NYSE:AZN) (Cambridge, England) $10 million oral solid dose and crystallization plant expansion in Coppell, Texas. Ajinomoto's project involves constructing a four-story building for the contract production and purification of amino acids, while AstraZeneca's project involves renovating its 110,000-square-foot plant and adding 20% more floor space. For more information, see Industrial Info's reports on the Ajinomoto and AstraZeneca projects.
Globally, the Metals & Minerals Industry accounts for more than half of the $1.87 billion in active projects featuring Fluor that are set to begin construction in the fourth quarter, with the bulk of that portion for a single project: Alliance Mining Commodities' (West Perth, Australia) $812 million bauxite mine in Koumbia, Guinea. One of the most anticipated mining projects in its region, it will include the construction of shallow, open-pit facilities that are expected to produce 4 million tons per year of bauxite ore, with the potential to increase to 10 million tons. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.
Also in Africa, Fluor will provide services at Khoemacau Copper Mining Pty Limited's (Gaborone, Botswana) $150 million, second-phase copper/silver mine expansion in Maun, Botswana. Khoemacau plans to enlarge an open pit to mine 1.5 million tons per year of ore to maintain the concentrator's throughput capacity at 3 million tons per year, as well as increase copper production. For more information, see Industrial Info's project report.
Industrial Info also is tracking $623 million worth of Fluor projects set to begin construction before the end of the year in Asia.
