Bechtel to upgrade ExxonMobil refinery in Beaumont

Bechtel has been awarded a contract to upgrade the ExxonMobil refinery in Beaumont, Texas, where the company will apply ExxonMobil's proprietary SCANfining technology to increase the production of motor fuels.

"The Bechtel team will apply extensive technical knowledge and global experience to efficiently and safely deliver an enhanced refining facility at Beaumont," said Jack Futcher, president of Bechtel's Oil, Gas and Chemicals business unit. "We look forward to continued collaboration with ExxonMobil as they work to expand production of ultra-low sulfur fuels at their facility."

Bechtel has already begun design work on the Beaumont refinery upgrades. Construction is planned to start in mid-2016 with targeted start-up in 2018.
