Fluor Corporation (NYSE: FLR) announced today that it was awarded a
contract by NEXUS Gas Transmission, LLC, to provide engineering,
procurement and construction management services for an approximately
250-mile natural gas transmission pipeline in Ohio and Michigan that is
capable of transporting 2 billion cubic-feet-per-day of gas. Fluor
booked the contract for an undisclosed value in the first quarter of
2015.
“This project is an example of how Fluor can deliver our integrated
solutions to support the continued industrial and consumer demand for
natural gas in the U.S.,” said Pierre Bechelany, Fluor’s senior vice
president of Pipelines and LNG. “This new award demonstrates Fluor’s
strengthened position in the North America pipeline market, and we will
bring our decades of pipeline design and construction experience to
deliver cost and schedule efficiencies to the NEXUS project.”
Fluor is responsible for engineering, procurement, construction and
project management services for the mainline pipeline, which will be up
to 42 inches in diameter.
In addition to the main line, Fluor is designing and managing the
construction of up to four compressor stations in Ohio to maintain the
pressure needed to push the gas through the pipeline as well as four
meter stations that will provide flow control and gas quality monitoring
services.
DTE Energy Company and Spectra Energy Partners, LP, are the lead
developers of the NEXUS Project. The NEXUS Project is expected to cost
approximately $2 billion and is designed to deliver incremental
production from the Utica and Marcellus Shale plays to meet growing
demand for natural gas by distribution and end use markets in the Upper
Midwest and Canada.
