Borouge (Abu Dhabi, U.A.E.; www.borouge.com) has awarded WorleyParsons Ltd. (North Sydney, Australia; www.worleyparsons.com) the project management contract (PMC) for its Ruwais petrochemicals complex. Borouge is a joint venture between Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) and Borealis AS.
Under the contract, WorleyParsons will provide PMC services to the fourth phase of the petrochemicals complex. The complex will include the world’s largest mixed-feed cracker with an estimated 1.8 million metric tons per year (m.t./yr) of ethylene output and a production capacity of 3.3 million m.t./yr of olefins and aromatics using a variety of feedstocks such as ethane, butane and naphtha from ADNOC’s refining and gas processing facilities. WorleyParsons provided services to the pre‐FEED phase following a number of earlier PMC contracts for the ADNOC group.
“WorleyParsons is delighted to continue working with Borouge through this significant contract and to support United Arab Emirates’ strategic vision,” commented Andrew Wood, Chief Executive Officer, WorleyParsons.
