Fluor Corp. Subsidiary Signs Two Major Deals

Fluor Corp. said its Fluor Daniel construction services subsidiary has received two significant refinery project contracts: one continuing a nearly 30-year relationship with a Venezuelan petroleum company, the other opening communications with a Polish energy consortium.

For the Polish project, Fluor Daniel has been retained to prepare a feasibility study for a refinery and petrochemical processing complex in southern Poland. Financial details were not announced. The study is to be partially funded with a grant from the U.S. Trade and Development Agency.

The Polish contractor is Konsorcjum Polundie, a consortium of 32 Polish companies involved in the petrochemical and crude oil industries in that nation.

In Venezuela, Fluor Daniel and an affiliate, Technofluor, are to provide engineering, materials procurement and construction management for a $200-million project to revamp a sulfur-removal complex at the Langoven Amuay refinery.

The value of the contract was not disclosed. Fluor built the original refinery in the late 1960s. Langoven, which operates the complex, is an affiliate of Petroleos de Venezuela S.A.
