Project summary
Audubon was contracted by Marathon Oil to provide front-end engineering and design (FEED), detailed engineering and design, procurement, and construction management (EPCM) for the replacement of defective water-cooling piping and valves (7,000 ft. of 30-in. pipe). The project also included in-line replacement of
2,600 ft. of heavy-vacuum-gas-oil (HVGO) piping with 317L stainless steel, as well as upgrades to all control valves and instrumentation.
The FEED, EPCM, and turnaround (TAR) management services supplied by Audubon expedited construction, prevented unnecessary disruptions, and enabled an efficient, effective return to water-cooling and HVGO operations for the E&P company.
