Jacobs receives contract from Sasol

Jacobs Engineering Group Inc., one of the world's largest and most diverse providers of technical, professional, and construction services, announced that it received a contract from Sasol, an integrated oil, gas and chemical company operating worldwide, to provide basic engineering services for the first commercial installation of Sasol's proprietary tetramerization technology.

The initial commercial unit is expected to have a combined capacity for 1-octene and 1-hexene of 100,000 tons per year. The location for the first unit has not been determined, however Sasol's chemical complex, located near Lake Charles, La., is a leading candidate.

The basic engineering phase is expected to be complete by the third quarter of 2010. Construction is intended to begin in 2011 with initial production slated for 2013.
