Technip, in partnership with UNICO, a Japanese engineering consultant, has won a Project Management Consultancy (PMC) contract on a reimbursable basis, for the upgrading of the Basra
refinery.
This contract, awarded by South Refineries Company (SRC) – Ministry of Oil, covers the engineering, procurement,
construction, commissioning, start-up and warranty management phase of the
refineryupgrading
project, located in Basra, Iraq.
The
project will aim at increasing the gasoline production capacity through the installation of a new fluid catalytic cracking unit and associated units like visbreaker, hydrotreating, hydrogen plant, etc.
This development is part of the Iraqi Government’s long-term plan to meet increasing future demand for hydro
carbon products.
This award follows the PMC contract attributed to Technip in June 2013 for the Karbala
refinery. It will be executed by Technip’s engineering center in Milton Keynes, United Kingdom, and supported by Technip PMC teams.
Technip PMC gathers all the know-how and expertise acquired by the group over the years in executing challenging
projects in the world. This new award continues to reinforce the company's position in PMC in the Middle East, according to Technip officials.
