“BP has awarded our BP Carson Site the BP Helios award for superior project performance that has so far translated into a 13 percent savings from average industry costs. We attribute our success at BP Carson to an involved BP and Jacobs management team, an integrated team that includes Jacobs and all our refinery stakeholders, and the disciplined application of a work process that  incorporates both BP and Jacobs Best Practices. As our Alliance partner, Jacobs has helped BP Carson set the standard for excellence in project execution.” 16 RON HAITZ,  Manager of Projects BP Carson, California REFINING North American and European refiners focused investment dollars on clean fuels requirements such as low sulfur gasoline and diesel, NOx reduction, and other emission regulations. U.S. refineries also tackled the methyl tertiary-butyl ether (MTBE) phase-out. In support, we apply best practices honed in long-term client relationships to help meet these requirements as inexpensively as possible. We continue our 11-year relationship with Flint Hills Resources (FHR), providing integrated project services on their $145 million Low Sulfur Gasoline Program in Texas. Through this integrated alliance, we apply joint work processes, multi-office execution, and modular construction to achieve FHR’s critical completion requirements, while creating a legacy of better-trained, safety-conscious local workers. To date, our technology recommendations and other Value Plus innovations have documented millions of dollars in net-present-value savings. For BP we provide engineering, procurement, and construction on large-scale air emission reduction programs at refineries in Texas and Indiana. On one program we employ a multi-site “shared learnings” plan, saving 3 to 4 percent of total installed cost. We continue to provide engineering, procurement, and construction management services for the BP's Grangemouth, Scotland, site. In 2002 we supported BP in sustaining site capital works totaling $75 million. We collaborated with BP to optimize work processes and drive capital productivity. During the year, the site reached 5 million workhours without a lost-day work case, of which the capital works contributed 1 million workhours. We are providing engineering and procurement for Motiva and Deer Park Refining’ flare gas recovery at four refineries in Texas and Louisiana. Applying process expertise, value engineering, and multi-office synergy, we help select and implement the best cost-effective technology to meet environmental protection commitments. To date, we have earned client satisfaction survey scores averaging over 90 percent. Ahead, our clients face more regulatory work, with emphasis shifting to diesel and off-road fuels cleanup. Government regulations for a renewable (ethanol- blended) fuels standard are also pending. The outlook is promising for refinery upgrade and expansion work in Europe and the Americas. 2 1
