AMEC expands oil supply

AMEC has been awarded a contract for program and project management, engineering, and procurement services for the Enbridge Southern Access and Southern Lights Pipeline projects.

According Simon Naylor, president of AMEC’s oil and gas business in Houston, AMEC Paragon, this award expands AMEC’s position in serving the oil sands sector in North America. “We are proud to play a significant role in this very important multi-billion dollar program, which expands and strengthens our relationship with Enbridge.”

The Southern Access project involves installation of a 36 and 42 inch crude oil pipeline to export additional supplies of crude oil from the Rockies and Alberta, Canada’s oil sands region to refineries in the Midwestern US and beyond.

The project includes installation of two segments, 321 and 133 miles each of a 42 inch mainline, 170 miles of a 36 inch mainline, nine new or modified pump stations and terminal modifications. The work is located in Wisconsin and Illinois.
