“This accomplishment represents the successful completion of
thousands of deliverables from the joint Marathon Petroleum and
Fluor project team,” said Mark Fields, president of Fluor’s Energy
& Chemicals business in the Americas. “This milestone was
achieved on schedule and under budget because of the strong
relationship between the Marathon Petroleum and Fluor project
teams, and it has enabled work to transition seamlessly to the
construction site.”
Fluor and Marathon Petroleum have worked together on this
project since the feasibility stage in 2014. Fluor is providing
engineering, procurement and construction management services,
which will enable the refinery to achieve updated U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency Tier 3 gasoline sulfur standards by
2020 and provide cleaner fuel to U.S. markets.
The scope of work includes a new selective hydrogenation unit, a
new naphtha desulfurization unit and upgrades to the existing
naphtha desulfurization unit and the fluid catalytic cracker. The
project also includes the modernization of the utilities and
offsites to continue the integration of the former Texas City
refinery into the adjacent Galveston Bay refinery.
Engineering was performed out of Fluor’s offices in Houston, and
Manila and Cebu, Philippines. Construction activity is underway at
the project site, with aboveground piping and structural steel
currently being installed. Construction is scheduled to be
completed in 2019.
Fluor is also currently providing engineering and procurement
services for Marathon Petroleum’s South Texas Asset Repositioning
(STAR) program at the Galveston Bay refinery.
