ICA Fluor will be responsible for basic and detailed engineering for the process plants, auxiliary services, and integration required to increase the refinery’s distillate production capacity to 80% from 63%.
The announcement said this is the first phase of a megaproject announced by Pemex to increase national production of higher value distillates through reprocessing of such products as gas oil (diesel). Pemex expects total investment to be about $3.5 billion.
