Fluor Wins $3.5bn EPC Contract for GLNG Project

Fluor Corporation will provide engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) services for Santos’ Gladstone Liquefied Natural Gas (GLNG) project in Queensland, Australia.

The EPC contract, worth $3.5bn, includes upstream facilities for the 7.8 million tonnes-per-year LNG project, which will extract and liquefy gas from coal deposits for eventual export to Asia and other global markets.

Fluor’s Energy & Chemicals Group president Peter Oosterveer said Fluor shares Santos’ commitment to build the clean energy project with the highest performance in safety and project execution, while maintaining world-class environmental standards and close engagement with local communities.

Fluor had already received an upstream front-end engineering and design contract for the GLNG project in June 2009 and an early works contract in May 2010.
