South Africa: Fluor wins Sapref FEED contract


Shell-BP joint venture South African Petroleum Refineries (Sapref) has given Fluor Corporation a front-end engineering and design (FEED) contract for its Clean Fuels II project in Durban. The project will enable a substantial upgrade of the Sapref refinery, improving the quality of transportation fuels by reducing levels of sulphur, benzene and aromatics in line with South Africa’s proposed clean fuels requirements. The agreement allows for a potential engineering, procurement and construction management contract to be signed at a later date.
