Methanex awards design contract on potential $1 billion Geismar facility

Methanex awards design contract on potential $1 billion Geismar facility
LINK
Methanex has awarded Houston-based KBR, Inc. a front-end engineering and design contract for a potential $1 billion methanol facility in Geismar, ahead of an expected 2019 final investment decision.
The contract brings the methanol plant, which would be located adjacent to Methanex's existing Geismar facilities, one step closer to being built. Earlier this spring, the company said it would make a final decision on whether to build the plant as early as mid-2019. The Vancouver-based Methanex is also considering Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada.
quote:
The third plant, if added, would boost methanol production at Geismar by 1.8 million tons per year. Local officials in Ascension Parish, as well as the state Board of Commerce and Industry, have signed off on giving the methanol giant a break on property taxes for the new plant.
Methanex moved two methanol plants from Chile to Geismar to take advantage of cheap natural gas, and production started in 2014, when it first raised the possibility of building a third unit. If the company moves forward with the plant, it will go into service in 2023
It's all but officially going to be built in Geismar. Should net about 1,000 construction jobs.

I'm sure Whole Foods and Volvo are rushing to open up retail locations in Geismar.
Turner industries is opening another office around there somewhere though.

Bunch of old Baws excited they are going to be able to "get their sons on" at the plant.

I hope this happens. Another huge arse project is going to be starting soon near Donaldsonville. Thank goodness for petrochemical jobs or this state would be a wasteland

Skilled craftsman are hard to come by these days around here. Everyone is working already that wants to work. Looks like we will be getting a lot of the northern union help coming down soon. Problem with those guys is they tend to stay.

If this truly does get into ground breaking mode next year, you are very correct that labor is going to be hard to come by.

They hiring IT guys?
Posted on 7/31/18 at 2:36 pm to Tigeralum2008
Will probably be serviced by the IT professionals already employed.
Appears to just be an expansion.

Starts the thread and knows details of their staffing plans. 100% he works there.

Why anyone thought letting Arkansas join the USA was a good idea is beyond me.
