Amec Foster to Outline Brownfield Optimisation at African Refiners Association Week

Amec Foster Wheeler has officially announced that Mike Whitling, Manager of Asset Operations and Consulting, will deliver a presentation on brownfield asset optimisation during ARA Week from 14-18 March, in Marrakesh, Morocco.
In his presentation, “Brownfield Project Execution: A Perfect Opportunity to Engage Your Operations Team to Optimise Assets”, Mike will detail how to minimise risks and increase margins by adopting a holistic approach. Drawing upon several Amec Foster Wheeler case studies, he will demonstrate ways to minimise project turnaround time while maximising margins and the optimisation of the asset.
