Samsung Engineering Co., Ltd, the first and largest engineering company in Korea has officially announced that it received a contract from PEMEX, a Mexican state-owned petroleum company, for the PEMEX Salamanca ULSD Project. 

The project will be executed in two phases.

The $80 million contract awarded to Samsung Engineering is for Phase I which will be executed on an OBCE (Open Book Cost Estimation) basis.

With the understanding of the Mexican market and the successful completion of previous projects, Samsung Engineering hopes to continue a successful long-term partnership with PEMEX.”

PEMEX is expected to release modernization projects for existing refineries in the near future. Samsung Engineering hopes that this award leads to a bright future with PEMEX as partner.
