PetroSA has appointed KBR from USA as the engineering contractor for
Project Mthombo, the proposed $11-billion, 400 000 bl/d Coega crude oil
refinery.
Addressing media in Cape Town this week, PetroSA President and CEO
Sipho Mkhize stated that KBR had been contracted to work with PetroSA
to provide feasibility and front-end engineering and design (FEED)
study services for the project.
The contract was estimated to be worth close to R1-billion. Mkhize said
that KBR was chosen because of the quality and expertise of its
management and its proven megarefinery expertise in the petroleum
industry.
KBR downstream division president John Quinn noted that the company had
been involved with Project Mthombo from its inception and that the
award followed the completion of the prefeasibility study by KBR
earlier this year.
