KBR Wins Iraq Maissan Refinery Deal

KBR has won two contracts from the Iraqi Ministry of Oil through the South Refineries Company for the country’s Maissan Refinery.

KBR will provide licensing and basic engineering services for building the fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) and solvent deasphalting units at the planned refinery.

The firm will license its FCC technology for an anticipated 47,500 barrels per day FCC unit and its Residuum Oil Supercritical Extraction technology for a 45,000bpd SDA unit.

The FCC unit will be delivered under a joint marketing alliance between KBR and ExxonMobil Research and Engineering Company.
