May 6 (LNGJ) - Fluor Corp., the Irving, Texas-based energy and LNG engineering company, posted a fall in first-quarter net income to $104 million compared with $144M in the same three months a year ago. Fluor said the results included $22M in pre-tax expenses associated with the recent acquisition of Dutch company Stork. New contract awards in the energy side of the business amounted to $579M. “Our new awards in the first quarter reflect the diversity of our business across multiple industries,” said Chief Executive David Seaton. "Although some prospective projects have been deferred, and active projects slowed, this diversity shows we can continue to fuel long-term growth in a challenging business environment.”
