Bechtel announced today that the company was selected in April by the
Qatar Petroleum – Qatar Petrochemical Company partnership (QP-QAPCO)
to provide project management services for construction of the Al
Sejeel mega-petrochemical complex in Ras Laffan, Qatar. Bechtel will
provide project management services over the course of the project
starting with the front-end engineering design phase to ensure the
quality, safe, and timely construction of the project.
"Bechtel's contribution to the mega-petrochemical complex will be
strategic, as Bechtel benefits from extensive experience and is a
leader in the construction of petrochemical plants all around the
world," said Dr. Mohammed Yousef Al-Mulla, vice chairman and CEO of
QAPCO.
"For more than 70 years we have partnered with customers, contractors,
and suppliers in the region to safely deliver quality industrial and
infrastructure facilities. This award allows us to continue that
legacy and deliver a world-class facility for QP-QAPCO," said Jack
Futcher, president of Bechtel's Oil, Gas and Chemicals business unit.
"We are looking forward to working with QP-QAPCO to achieve the vision
of making the Al Sejeel Petrochemical Complex a major contributor to
the Qatari economy."
The Al Sejeel Petrochemical Complex in Ras Laffan will include an
ethylene cracker with the feedstock coming from natural gas projects
located in the north of Qatar. It will substantially add to the
economic growth of the country and will produce ethylene, high-density
polyethylene, linear low-density polyethylene, polypropylene, and
butadiene. The complex will be operational in 2018.
Bechtel is a leader in the execution of petrochemical projects using
traditional feedstock processes as well as nontraditional processes
for chemical production from natural gas and coal. Bechtel has built
or managed signature petrochemical projects for Borouge in the United
Arab Emirates and for CNOOC and Shell in China.
