Technip Energies says it has been awarded a significant engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning (EPCC) contract by Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL) for its BR9 expansion project in Barauni, Bihar, in the eastern part of India. The EPCC contract reportedly covers the installation of a new once-through hydrocracker unit (OHCU) of 1 million metric ton per annum (MMTPA) capacity, a fuel gas treatment unit (FGTU) and the associated facilities. The OHCU, in combination with downstream refinery units, will enable production of BS VI grade fuels – similar to Euro VI grade fuels – and petrochemicals, according to the company.
Bhaskar Patel, senior vice president of the India business unit at Technip Energies says,“This award demonstrates our long-term commitment in India and substantially consolidates our positioning in high operating pressure projects. It also strengthens our position as a leading provider of key projects to the major players in India’s domestic energy sector.”
Technip Energies has a strong footprint in India with local presence in Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and Dahe, according to the company.
