Neste Jacobs to Perform Consultant Services for INA Residue Upgrade Program in Croatia
Technology, engineering and project management company Neste Jacobs and INA- Industrija nafte, d.d. (INA) have signed an agreement, where Neste Jacobs will perform consultant services in INA Residue Upgrade Program.
INA intends to upgrade its Rijeka Refinery by means of implementing a residue upgrade program that consists of installation of a delayed coker unit for residue conversion, the required off-sites and coke port & handling system to convert heavy residue into high value products such as LPG, Gasoline and Diesel.
Neste Jacobs has formed and mobilized a team of Consultants to support INA in project development and procurement process of the Residue Upgrade Program. Consultant services focus on areas of project management, project control, project information management, project quality, and procurement of FEED and EPC services. Neste Jacobs' team will work as a part of integrated Project Management team closely together with INA.
"We want to thank INA for their trust in choosing us as a consultant services provider for their Residue Upgrade Program", says Jarmo Suominen, CEO of Neste Jacobs. "This project now awarded to us is a natural continuation to our chain of Project Management Consultancy projects, which we have provided to our customers with excellent results."
"As a company with a solid hands-on experience in handling large industrial projects and broad expertise in complex technology projects, Neste Jacobs was selected by INA for the consultancy services for our Residue Upgrade project," stated Mr Bengt Oldsberg, INA's Executive Director for Refining and Marketing. He added that contract with Neste Jacobs is another step in the process of the upgrade of Rijeka Refinery, which demonstrates INA's commitment to investments that are able to secure long-term and sustainable development of the Company.
