New Contract for Foster Wheeler – Analyst Blog
Foster Wheeler AG (FWLT) recently announced that subsidiaries of its Global Engineering and Construction Group received a contract from Apache Khalda Corporation LDC. As per the contract, Foster will be providing technical consultancy services to supervise the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) phase of the Qasr Compression Project in Egypt. The EPC phase is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2015.
The financial details of the contract were not disclosed but Foster will include the contract in its first quarter bookings. Prior to this, Foster had initially provided its consultancy services to Apache Khalda when the Qasr Compression Project was in the front-end engineering design phase.
The scope of the contract also includes that Foster will support Apache Khalda in the management and administration of the EPC phase of the project as part of a joint project management team.
