Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. received a contract to provide engineering, procurement and construction services for Exxon Mobil’s diesel supply expansion projects in Baton Rouge and Baytown, Texas.
Exxon Mobil Corp. announced last month that about half of a more than $1 billion global investment in cleaner-burning diesel fuel by the company will take place at its Baton Rouge refinery.
In addition to an upgrade to produce ultra-low sulfur diesel in Baytown (where the refining capacity is 567,000 barrels a day), Exxon Mobil is upgrading its refinery in Antwerp, Belgium (now 305,000 barrels a day).
The $500 million investment in Baton Rouge will enable Exxon Mobil to boost its daily diesel output here by about 15 percent to 140,000 barrels a day. The Baton Rouge refinery’s current output for all fuels is 503,000 barrels per day, making it the second-largest refinery in the United States after Exxon Mobil’s Baytown, site.
The two U.S projects are scheduled for completion in 2010.
“With this award, Exxon Mobil and Jacobs further extend a long working relationship of over 50 years,” Jacobs Group Vice President James Stewart said in a statement.
