PRIMU Primoris Services - Units (MM)

Primoris Services Corporation (Nasdaq:PRIM) (Nasdaq:PRIMU) (Nasdaq:PRIMW) ("Primoris" or "Company"), one of the largest specialty contractors and engineering companies in the United States, today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, OnQuest, has signed a contract to design and supply six waste heat recovery units (WHRU) for a $43 billion liquefied natural gas (LNG) project in Australia (the "Project"). The WHRUs provided by OnQuest will recover energy from the exhaust of the Project's gas turbines to reduce waste heat and achieve higher thermal efficiencies. Work on the Project is beginning this month and is expected to be completed in December 2011 with expected revenues of approximately $30 million to Primoris. 

The Project will extract gas from 30 interconnected wells drilled into the sea floor at the Greater Gorgon gas fields, Australia's largest natural gas resource. The LNG facility, currently under construction, is expected to produce a total of 15 million tons of LNG per year.
