Fluor
As one of the largest publicly traded EPC contractors in the world, Fluor was awarded a portion of the massive Al Zour refinery project in Kuwait. As part of a consortium with Daewoo and Hyundai Heavy Industries, the company bagged $5.7bn to build the support units and infrastructure at the 615,000 barrels per day (bpd) refinery.
Fluor has developed some of the region’s most complex petrochemical and refining facilities. Its portfolio of projects in the GCC includes the water facilities and modular buildings at the Saudi Kayan Petrochemical Complex, alongside a super absorbent polymer plant, as well as Sadaf’s petrochemical complex and Jubail acetyls plant.
Some of its 2015 construction milestones include the completion of BASF’s high-performance chemical production facilities in China and a large chemical complex in Germany. Last year also marked the completion of Dow’s $2.7bn-plus Reverse Osmosis (RO) facility at the Sadara petrochemical complex, which is the first plant of this kind outside the US.
