Peter Oosterveer, president of Fluor's Energy & Chemicals Group, said: "This important new project award from Shell follows our successfully completed FEED work on Hijau. We appreciate the confidence that Shell has demonstrated in Fluor by awarding us this next phase to bring the project to reality. Southeast Asia is a strategic geography for both Shell and Fluor, and this EPCM project will further solidify our strength in this area."
