HOUSTON, May 4 -- Shell Canada Ltd. selected Fluor Corp., Aliso Viejo, Calif, for a $300 million project to help Shell meet Canadian government regulations for ultra low sulfur diesel.
Under terms of the contract, Fluor will design and construct new diesel hydrotreater units at two Shell refineries: Scotford refinery near Edmonton, and Montreal East refinery in Quebec. Scotford has a 97,900 b/d capacity and Montreal East has a 129,900 b/d capacity.
Fluor has completed the front-end engineering and design work and is moving forward with engineering, construction, procurement, and construction management. The project is scheduled for completion in early 2006, ahead of the government's June 1, 2006, requirement.
