Technip has been awarded a PMC (Project Management Consultancy) contract in partnership with Japanese engineering consultant UNICO.
The company said the project is for the upgrading of the Basra refinery in Iraq.
It was awarded by SRC (South Refineries Company) covering the engineering, procurement, construction, commissioning and start-up and warranty management phase of the project.
The project will aim to increase the gasoline production capacity through the installation of a new fluid catalytic cracking unit and associated units like visbreaker, hydrotreating and hydrogen plant.
Riccardo Moizo, senior vice president for Technip PMC, stated: ‘We are honoured to have been awarded this important project by SRC.
“This new award continues to reinforce Technip’s positioning on PMC activities. We are looking forward to assisting SRC in the development of this complex project.”
This development is part of the Iraqi Government’s long term plan to meet increasing future demand for hydrocarbon products.
The work will be executed by Technip’s engineering center in Milton Keynes, United Kingdom, and supported by Technip PMC teams.
