en.Wedoany.com Reported - In the first quarter of 2026, Fluor Corporation will confirm the contract value for its involvement in the American First Refining (AFR) Brownsville Port Refinery project in Texas. As the first new refinery to be built in the United States in over half a century, the facility is expected to process over 60 million barrels of U.S. shale oil annually upon completion, producing gasoline, diesel, and aviation fuel to support domestic energy resilience and clean fuel innovation.

As the project's construction contractor, Fluor will utilize commercially proven technology and processes to efficiently convert shale oil into refined products. Once operational, the facility will serve as a key energy processing hub along the Gulf Coast, directly addressing domestic crude oil conversion needs. Pierre Bechelany, President of Fluor's Energy Solutions business group, stated that this collaboration integrates the technical expertise and project delivery capabilities of both parties, representing a substantial investment in modernizing U.S. refining infrastructure.

The project is currently in the early-stage construction preparation phase. The confirmation of the contract value signifies that project execution details and cost accounting are entering their final lock-in period. The construction of this refinery addresses a longstanding gap in the U.S. regarding new large-scale refining facilities and will directly enhance the stability of regional refined product supply.
