TechnipFMC (FTI) Secures Olefins Plant Contract in Vietnam
Read MoreHide Full Article
TechnipFMC plc (FTI - Free Report) recently secured a contract in Vietnam from Long Son Petrochemicals Co., Ltd. for constructing and commissioning of the first plant in the nation, which will process molecules called olefins, a synthetic fiber. Olefins are primarily used to create plastics.
TechnipFMC plans to carry out licensing, engineering, construction and commissioning of the Long Son Island-based plant with its South Korean partner, SK Engineering & Construction Co., Ltd. The contract is expected to be worth in the range of $500 million to $1 billion. TechnipFMC considers a contract in the said range to be a large one.
Notably, the deal further solidifies TechnipFMC’s position in Vietnam as a leading oilfield equipment provider for onshore projects. The company has been involved in the development of the Dung Quat Refinery – the country’s first oil refinery – apart from the Phu My Fertilizer Complex.
TechnipFMC will use its low-cost and energy efficient proprietary ethylene technology for the project, which incorporates Ultra Selective Conversion (USC®) furnaces and Heat-Integrated Rectifier System®. The company intends to execute the project with the help of its offices in Houston, Rome and Kuala Lumpur. The construction work for the project is expected to last for 53 months.
The plant — which will be constructed in Ba Ria-Vung Tau province of Vietnam — will be able to switch between liquefied petroleum gas and naphtha to create up to 1.6 million tons of olefins a year. It will address the increasing demand of petrochemical products in the country and reduce its dependency on imports.

Today's Stocks from Zacks' Hottest Strategies
It's hard to believe, even for us at Zacks. But while the market gained +21.9% in 2017, our top stock-picking screens have returned +115.0%, +109.3%, +104.9%, +98.6%, and +67.1%.
And this outperformance has not just been a recent phenomenon. Over the years it has been remarkably consistent.
