Our immense international project experience combines with local knowledge ensuring every stage of the project is optimally managed to improve profitability.


Project Rio de Janeiro Petrochemical Complex (COMPERJ) Customer Petrobras Project Location Itaborai, Brazil Phases COMPERJ will be the largest industrial undertaking in the history of Petrobras and Brazil. With a total cost of US$ 8.5 billion, it will be one of the largest petrochemical complexes in the world. Due for completion in 2013, COMPERJ will process 150,000 barrels per day of Marlin crude, which will increase Brazil’s heavy oil refining capacity and produce petrochemical products for internal and external markets. This complex will bring together a first-generation refining and petrochemical facility producing ethylene, propylene, benzene, and paraxylene. The second-generation units will produce styrene, ethylene glycol, polyethylene, polypropylene, and PTA and includes the supply of water, steam and electrical energy for the whole complex. WorleyParsons is providing proven mega project management and delivery know-how to yield optimum project execution to meet Petrobras’ goals and objectives. Our activities include; project integration services for the complex, licensing and basic design and frontend engineering design (FEED) for the Auxiliary Units, utilities and offsites, commissioning, and start-up. A unique approach includes the use of integrated workshops to define the key elements of site plan configuration, engineering systems for global implementation, procurement of key equipment and materials, constructability and logistics. WorleyParsons is providing early critical assessment to key areas, enabling Petrobras to obtain the data required to validate the aggressive schedule.

Project The ACAI/NASA Project Customer BASF-YPC Company Limited (BYC); and BASF South America (BASF SA) Project Location Nanjing, China and Camacari, Brazil Phases In order to capitalize on emerging Super Absorbent Polymer (SAP) markets in China and Brazil, BASF SA has invested in a major capital venture of two SAP production facilities at two sites located in Nanjing, China and Camacari, Brazil. These complex plants will use advanced new technologies in acrylic acid processing, which is scheduled for production in 2014. Due to time constraints, BASF SA and BYC decided to capitalize on the synergies by cloning the two sets of plants, therefore maximizing efficiencies in design, schedule and resources. BASF SA and BYC chose WorleyParsons for the FEED, detail engineering, procurement and construction management (EPCM) of the two plants based on our significant presence in China and Brazil and the capability of our experienced team of specialists.

Project Project Trident Customer Orica Project Location Kooragang Island, Newcastle, Australia Phases Orica is planning an expansion of their ammonium nitrate (AN) production capacity located at Kooragang Island, Newcastle, Australia from 430,000 tpa to approximately 750,000 tpa. This involves a new nitric acid plant, ammonium nitrate solution plant and a new AN drying plant using Orica’s own technology. During the early stages of the project a number of technology suppliers were evaluated by WorleyParsons. Our technology neutral position meant that we could objectively evaluate all alternatives. The outcome was a more competitive bidding process resulting in a lower estimated CAPEX for the customer and the choice of technology supplier, which initially was not considered. WorleyParsons was then able to work with the chosen technology supplier to provide advice on Australian standards and modularization to ensure the overall success of the project. WorleyParsons’ scope included defining the basis of design, initial concepts, site layouts and initial cost estimates for the Outside Battery Limits (OSBL) and Inside Battery Limits (ISBL) scope along with advice on Australian standards for the ISBL FEL1&2 (Front End Loading) and AN drying plant FEL1&2. Subsequently WorleyParsons was awarded the FEL3 and detailed design for the AN drying plant. WorleyParsons modularization experts were utilized to create a modular design which is anticipated to provide significant cost savings to Orica whilst reducing on site HSE risks.
