Fortune 500 technology, engineering and construction services provider The Shaw Group said that the Maintenance Division of its Power Group has received a maintenance, small capital construction, turnaround support and specialty services contract from Marathon Oil Corporation for its Texas Refining Division, located in Texas City, Texas.

Shaw will immediately assume current maintenance and small capital construction work supporting Marathon’s 76,000 barrels-per-day refinery. Additional turnaround, specialty and engineering services may be provided as needed.

The value of Shaw’s multiyear maintenance contract, which will be included in the company's second quarter fiscal year 2009 backlog of unfilled orders, was not disclosed.

Marathon previously contracted with Shaw in 2008 to provide project management, engineering and procurement services for the feasibility and definition phases of benzene reduction projects at its refineries in Robinson, Ill., Garyville, La., and Catlettsburg, Ky.
