Fluor wins engineering excellence award for Spain refinery expansion

Fluor said on Tuesday that it was awarded the 2010 national prize for industrial engineering by Spain’s National Society of Professional Industrial Engineers.

The firm received the award in the engineering project category for its contribution to the C-10 refinery expansion project for Repsol Petróleo S.A. in Cartagena (Murcia), Spain.

“Fluor is honored to receive this prestigious award,” said Peter Oosterveer, president of Fluor's energy and chemicals group.

“This tremendous effort by our engineers and project team in Madrid and Asturias is one example of our global engineering and project expertise in the oil and gas sector.”

Spain’s Prince Felipe presented the award to Fluor and participant partners on behalf of the society at a ceremony in Madrid on May 30.

Fluor served as the program management contractor on the project, which doubled the capacity of a heavy oil conversion refinery.

In addition, Fluor was responsible for the front-end engineering and design as well as the engineering, procurement and construction management for the utilities and offsite facilities.

The construction of the expansion project is scheduled for completion in the third quarter of 2011.
