As per the five-year deal, Foster Wheeler will offer engineering and project management services for Shell’s downstream projects in Asia, and also has an option to extend for another five years.

Foster Wheeler president and chief operating officer Umberto della Sala said the award of this long-term agreement is testament to the company’s ability to deliver consistently world-class services while meeting specific local needs.

"While this agreement addresses Shell’s downstream investments in Asia, we believe that delivering outstanding Foster Wheeler performance may offer opportunities to extend our scope to other onshore businesses and other locations," added Umberto.

Work will be delivered under individual work orders, and Foster Wheeler stated it will record bookings as work orders are received.
