“This project will continue the development of MPC’s Galveston Bay refinery into a world-class refining complex,” said Mark Fields, president of Fluor’s Energy & Chemicals business in the Americas. “Fluor and MPC have a proven
track record of delivering similar programs, most recently in Detroit and Garyville, Louisiana. Fluor values its strong working
relationship with MPC and is excited to be part of the STAR program.”
The STAR program further integrates MPC’s former Texas City refinery into the adjacent Galveston Bay refinery, which is now the
second largest refinery in the U.S. It will improve the refinery’s efficiency and reliability by increasing the residual oil
processing capabilities, upgrading the crude unit and integrating facility logistics.
Fluor has been engaged in the STAR program since 2013, performing the feasibility studies and early engineering work. The
program is scheduled to be completed in 2022.
Fluor is also currently providing engineering, procurement and construction management services on the reconfiguration that will enable the Galveston Bay refinery to achieve updated U.S. Environmental Protection
agency Tier 3 gasoline sulfur standards.
