Here are the contracts awarded to Foster Wheeler AG (FWLT) - September 2011
Sasol Chemical Industries Ltd has awarded Foster Wheeler a contract to provide engineering, procurement and construction management (EPCm) services for the Sasolburg Utilities Expansion Project at Sasolburg, South Africa. Due to be completed in Q212, the project involves the expansion of the capacity of the utility systems at the Sasol complex at Sasolburg to support a program of expansion projects. This EPCm award follows FW’s completion of the FEED phase for this project.
Foster Wheeler, through a collaborative agreement with Honeywell’s UOP, was recently awarded a contract by Oman Refineries and Petrochemicals Co. (Orpic). UOP/FW will provide a basic engineering design package for a solvent deasphalting (SDA) unit at the Sohar refinery in Oman. The unit is a major part of a project to increase the refinery’s production of petroleum products such as LPG, naphtha, Jet A-1 fuel, gasoline, diesel and propylene. The SDA unit is to process 2,500ktpa of vacuum residue of Oman export blend crude to produce de-asphalted oil and asphalt for road bitumen production. The SDA unit is expected to come on stream in 2015.
OJSC Omskneftekhimproekt has awarded Foster Wheeler a contract for the basic engineering design of a new hydrogen production unit – based on Foster Wheeler Terrace-Wall steam reforming technology – at the Atyrau Refinery, Atyrau, Kazakhstan – part of KazMunayGas group. OJSC is the project engineering contractor for the revamp/modernisation of the refinery. The project aims to increase the oil conversion rate and production of all types of motor fuels to Euro IV and Euro V standards. The refinery will, as a result of this modernisation, require more high purity hydrogen. The new hydrogen unit, which will use high olefinic LPG as the main feedstock and natural gas as the alternate feedstock, is to produce 24,000 Nm3 /h of pure hydrogen. The basic design package is due for completion during Q3/11.
Foster Wheeler is to perform the second phase scope for an existing contract with Ecopetrol SA for the project for the modernisation of the refinery in Barrancabermeja (PMRB) in Colombia. This includes additional project management consultancy and FEED, detailed engineering for the crude unit revamps, assisting Ecopetrol in the selection process for EPC contracts, and control and supervision of the EPC and construction contractors. The PRMB will add heavy crude processing capability to take advantage of the available domestic heavy sour crudes, and provide a processing configuration to meet the Colombian clean fuels product specifications.
Foster Wheeler has selected Emerson technology to control a new biomass boiler at the Polaniec Power Station in Poland. When operational in 2012, this will be the world’s largest 100% biomass-fired boiler. FW is building the 190 MWe biomass-fired circulating fluidised-bed (CFB) boiler island for plant owner GDF Suez. Poland has been investing in biomass power generation to achieve a target of producing 15% of its total energy consumption from renewable sources by 2020.

Several of these construction companies are landing some nice contracts (even in challenging economic times). Many are selling near multi year lows with a 10PE or less and still maintain a pretty good back log of orders.
