Indonesian state-owned oil company Pertamina has awarded Amec Foster Wheeler Energy a contract to carry out basic engineering design (BED) for its Cilacap refinery expansion project in Central Java (Indonesia).
The Cilacap refinery expansion project is estimated at US$4bn to US$5bn and aims to add 25,000 bbl/d to the existing facility. It will improve the quality of oil products (higher complexity level and higher value-added product) and will increase the petrochemical production capacity. It is developed by Pertamina, in partnership with Saudi national oil company Saudi Aramco.
The BED study is expected to last nine months and will enable the project developers to proceed with the front end engineering design (FEED) in 2018. The engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) is expected to be awarded in 2019, and construction works should last three years; the capacity expansion should be completed in 2022.
