[introduction] the current global economy will still face the challenges of regional and global economic growth is facing great pressure. The trend of international oil prices in the short term is still not optimistic, in the grim situation of the construction industry in North America, the Middle East and Asia continue to seek opportunities for development.

A world of petrochemical engineering, a dragon and a tiger in combat
AMEC Forster Wheeler
A Mei C Foster Wheeler (AFW) is a construction contractor, with 40000 employees, annual revenue of more than $9 billion. Amec (A Meike) in November 2014 to $3 billion 200 million acquisition of registered in Switzerland, Wheeler Forster company, becoming the world's largest publicly traded EPC (Engineering, procurement and construction) contractor. Joint maximum benefit and reason is Amec in the oil and gas business has a very long history, as well as Wheeler and Forster in the lower reaches of the refining and petrochemical fields have a long history. The new combination enables the full demand of the upstream and downstream customers. Another advantage is that Foster Wheeler in some of the fastest growing markets, including Thailand and Singapore, has a very long history. Amec in these areas is novice, so as to be able to enter these markets.
AFW has its own proprietary technology and processes provided by other companies. Have their own delayed coking technology can be used to transform the refinery. In other areas, can cooperate with other technology suppliers. AFW is currently the construction of two sets of propane dehydrogenation (PDH) device, using a Xibiai technology, another use of UOP technology.
In addition to the United States, AFW is working on a number of potential projects. AFW is still very optimistic about the middle east. If you need a long-term perspective, it is because of the oil and gas reserves in the Middle East has a number of advantages. AFW has a very big plan with the Saudi company. AFW is helping to develop some unconventional resources, such as shale oil and tight oil resources. The company is also very active in a refinery project in Kuwait. And is closely concerned about the developments in Iran in order to seek potential opportunities.
