A unit of Fluor Corporation has been awarded an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract for phase three of the Malampaya deep water gas-to-power project in the Philippines.

The landmark project is among the most significant in the Philippines and involves the installation of a new depletion compression platform that is linked by a bridge to the existing shallow water platform. Fluor is responsible for the engineering and procurement for the new depletion compression platform as well as modifications required on the shallow water platform.

Approximately 40 per cent of the power for the main island of Luzon is generated by power plants using Malampaya gas. This new contract follows Fluor’s successful completion of the front-end engineering and design (FEED) contract for Phase three.

Fluor is responsible for the engineering and procurement for the new depletion compression platform as well as modifications required on the shallow water platform. Additional Fluor responsibilities include freight forwarding, material management for onshore fabrication and offshore installation, and preparation of work scopes for transportation and installation.
