ICA Fluor, a joint venture between Fluor Corp. and Empresas ICA, signed a contract with Shell Canada Energy to supply modular fabrication and procurement services for 13 well pads for heavy oil extraction at Shell’s Carmon Creek project under construction in northern Alberta.

The project is expected to produce about 80 Mbbl/d of heavy oil from Shell’s Peace River operations using steam recovery methods. The initial contract awarded to ICA Fluor is worth $264 million.

ICA Fluor will fabricate the modules at the El Empalme Yard in Tampico, Tamaulipas, Mexico. The completion is scheduled for December 2017.
