KBR (NYSE: KBR)
today announced it has secured an award to execute front-end engineering
and design (FEED) for a crude oil refinery revamp project for one of the
oldest operating refineries in the U.S.
During the feasibility phase, KBR’s expertise will focus on determining
the optimum economic configuration to increase overall heavy crude
processing capability and flexibility. The refinery currently processes
light sweet crudes and aims to take advantage of fluctuations in the
crude oil pricing market by gaining the flexibility to process heavier
sour crude oils.
“KBR draws upon its deep domain expertise in refinery solutions and
revamp projects to help satisfy our customer’s economic and operating
flexibility needs,” said David Zelinski, President, KBR Downstream. “We
look forward to the successful execution of this project and continuing
our long-term relationship with this valued client.”
