The Clyde Terminal Conversion Project involves upgrading, refurbishing and re-using the current crude and product tankage.

Financial terms of the contract were not disclosed.

As a part of the contract, Jacobs will first provide a basic design and engineering package to convert the Clyde Refinery and associated satellite Gore Bay Terminal into a product import terminal.

Jacobs Engineering Group vice president Tom Quinn said the company will use its local and global terminal experience for the Clyde Terminal Conversion Project.

"This contract continues our relationship with Shell in Australia, where we have successfully implemented clean fuels upgrades at Shell’s Geelong and Clyde refineries," Quinn added.

In addition, the company will provide engineering, procurement, and construction management services in the delivery phase of the project, once it gets the subsequent approvals.

Jacobs Engineering group is a US-based engineering, architecture and construction firm.
