IRVINE — Fluor Corp. said Tuesday that it has added $150 million to its $12 billion worth of outstanding projects. The Irvine company’s core engineering and construction arm, Fluor Daniel Inc., won a contract to upgrade a petroleum refinery in Rotterdam, Netherlands.
More than half of Fluor’s new contracts this year are for projects in other countries. The latest job, scheduled for completion in late 1994, was awarded by Esso Nederland B.V., a Dutch subsidiary of Texas-based Exxon Corp.
“We’re market followers, and a lot of the work today happens to be outside the United States,” Fluor spokeswoman Deborah Land said.
Fluor now has its biggest backlog of unfinished projects since 1982.
The company also announced Tuesday the promotion of James O. Rollans, 49, to senior vice president and chief financial officer. He succeeds Robert L. Guyett, who resigned from the post in September. Rollans, who had been acting CFO since Guyett’s departure, joined Fluor in 1982 as vice president of corporate communications.
