Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. was awarded a contract from ExxonMobil Chemical Co. to provide engineering, procurement and construction services as part of a multibillion-dollar ethane cracker project in ExxonMobil’s Baytown, Texas, complex and associated premium product facilities in Mont Belvieu, Texas. The contract value was not disclosed.
Under the contract terms, Jacobs will provide site enabling works and interconnections services for both sites. The scope of work includes site preparation of 350 acres for the ethane cracker in Baytown and 100 acres for the product facilities in Mont Belvieu.
Jacobs is also working on interconnecting the two sites by integrating a new 1.5 million tons per year ethane steam cracker in Baytown and two new polyethylene lines with a capacity of 650,000 tons per year into ExxonMobil’s existing facilities. This will require about 63,000 feet of pipe for the Baytown facility and 43,000 feet of pipe for the Mont Belvieu facility.
