Unipetrol RPA SRO-Rafinerie, the refining arm of Unipetrol AS and parent company Polski Koncern Naftowy SA (PKN Orlen), has let a contract to McDermott International Inc. to provide engineering, procurement, and construction management services for a unit upgrading project at its 108,400-b/d refinery in Litvinov, Czech Republic.
As part of the contract, McDermott will deliver a full suite of EPCM services for the upgrade of the refinery’s hydrocracking unit, the service provider said.
To be fully executed from McDermott’s Brno, Czech Republic, office, work on the project is scheduled to be completed in second-quarter 2020, McDermott said.
McDermott, which previously completed the feasibility study and basic engineering design for the proposed project, said it will book the contract, valued at $1-50 million, in its first-quarter 2019 backlog.
Further details regarding the planned hydrocracker revamp have yet to be disclosed.
