Iraq: Basra refinery EPC contract awarded

Technip’s project management consultancy arm, working with Japanese consultant Unico, has been awarded a contract for engineering, procurement, construction, commissioning, start-up and warranty management for the Basra refinery upgrading project. The Japan International Co-operation Agency (JICA)-funded contract, announced on 28 April, was awarded by the Ministry of Oil (MoO)’s South Refineries Company. Technip – which was awarded a similar contract in June 2013 for the Karbala refinery – will execute the work from its engineering centre in Milton Keynes, UK.
