AMEC Paragon Contributes to Successful Installation of Chevron's Takula Gas Processing Platform

HOUSTON--(Business Wire)--
AMEC, the international engineering and project management
company, announced today that subsidiary AMEC Paragon made significant
contributions to the successful installation of the Takula Gas
Processing Platform (TGPP), which recently has been completed in Block
0 offshore Angola.

Located in approximately 186 feet (57 meters) of water, TGPP is
the newest platform to be installed by Chevron subsidiary Cabinda Gulf
Oil Company Limited (CABGOC) for the Cabinda Association.

The project is a highlight of CABGOC's long-term Area A Gas
Management (AAGM) Program to reduce the routine flaring of produced
gas - both onshore and offshore. As engineering contractor to CABGOC,
AMEC Paragon provided front-end engineering design services for the
AAGM Program, followed by detailed engineering and procurement
assistance to Samsung Heavy Industries for the TGPP, which was built
at the Samsung Geoje shipyard, South Korea.

"TGPP represents a major accomplishment for the Area A project as
it will provide additional compression and gas sweetening in Block 0,"
said Chevron Project Manager Bob King. "AMEC Paragon's comprehensive
detailed design work streamlined the material procurement and
fabrication phases of the project and contributed to safe and
successful platform installation. We look forward to commissioning and
start-up during the third quarter of 2008."

Terrance Ivers, President of AMEC Paragon, added: "Our work helped
ensure the efficiency of the offshore installation effort, including
integration with the existing infrastructure. We also have worked in
close collaboration with Chevron to support its Incident and
Injury-Free (IFF) program over the past six years, leading to the TGPP
project's success and have supported other CABGOC flare reduction
projects in Area A since 2003."

Bridge-linked to an existing platform, TGPP is a single-train
facility designed as a 5,000-metric ton, single-lift modular deck with
facilities to process approximately 100 million standard cubic feet
per day (scf/d) of sour gas for injection and delivery to the new
onshore Cabinda Gas Plant.
