Shaw pegged for ethylene plant expansion
The Shaw Group Inc. has been awarded a contract by Qatar Petrochemical Co. Ltd. QSC (QAPCO) to provide basic engineering services for the expansion of a 720 ktpy ethylene plant in Mesaieed, Qatar. The project will provide the design needed for expanding the plant's capacity by up to 25%.
"Shaw has provided services to QAPCO at this plant for nearly ten years. Most significantly, in 2002, we provided our proprietary technology and engineering for a successful, significant capacity expansion," said Lou Pucher, president of Shaw's Energy & Chemicals Group. "Our long relationship and experience puts Shaw in a unique position to best serve QAPCO in this new expansion endeavor."
The undisclosed value of the basic engineering services contract will be included in Shaw's Energy & Chemicals segment's backlog of unfilled orders in the second quarter of fiscal year 2011.
