Foster Wheeler Awarded Gas Separation Plant Contract

Foster Wheeler Ltd's subsidiary, Foster Wheeler International Corporation (Thailand Branch), part of its Global Engineering and Construction Group, has been awarded a front-end engineering design (FEED) and project management consultancy (PMC) contract by PTT Public Company Ltd. for its sixth gas separation plant, GSP6, which will be located at Rayong, Thailand.

GSP6 will have a capacity of 800 million standard cubic feet of natural gas per day and will produce ethane, propane, butane, liquefied petroleum gases and natural gas liquids. The products will be supplied to downstream petrochemical plants and to supplement the local market for domestic consumption. Residue gas will be sent to the natural gas distribution network.

In addition to the preparation of the FEED, Foster Wheeler's scope of work includes preparation of the invitation to bid package for the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract, and the prequalification, evaluation, selection and supervision of the EPC contractor.

"This award builds on our previous successful working relationship with PTT," said Graham Pope, general manager, Foster Wheeler International Corporation (Thailand Branch). "We bring to the project the strong combination of our extensive gas processing experience and our Thailand operation's expertise, local knowledge and 37-year track record of delivering successful projects."

"We are pleased to be working again with the Foster Wheeler team which successfully completed our GSP5 project. PTT will be drawing on Foster Wheeler's extensive project execution expertise to deliver another world-class plant. This new plant is a key element in our strategy to add value to Thailand's natural gas resources," commented Suchart Thevithivarak, project director, PTT Public Company Ltd.
