Fluor Offshore Solutions is providing detailed engineering, procurement and selected construction support services as well as supporting the Shell team in managing the local fabricator.

Malampaya Phase 3 involves the design, fabrication and installation of a new depletion compression platform that is linked by a bridge to the existing shallow water platform. Fluor is responsible for the engineering and procurement for the new depletion compression platform as well as modifications required on the shallow water platform. Additional Fluor responsibilities include freight forwarding, material management for onshore fabrication and offshore installation, and preparation of work scopes for transportation and installation. The project is being performed locally from Fluor’s burgeoning full-service execution centers in Manila and Cebu as well as a local fabrication yard in the Philippines. The project is under way and is expected to be complete in 2015.

Fluor previously provided ongoing engineering services for the existing shallow water platform from 2000 to 2006 and more recently conducted a hazard and operability analysis for the Malampaya project.

Fluor Offshore Solutions recently completed offshore projects in the Middle East, in the East Timor Sea and off the northeast coast of China.
