KBR Wins Fabrication Award for First Canadian Oil Sands Carbon Capture and Storage Project in Alberta, Canada
KBR (NYSE: KBR) announced today that Shell Canada Energy has selected
KBR to perform off-site modularization and pipe fabrication at their
Edmonton Module Facility. This historic project will use Shell Quest
Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technologies to reduce CO2
emissions at Shell’s Upgrader which upgrades oil originating from
Shell’s Athabasca Oil Sands operations. This technology will reduce
greenhouse gas emissions by capturing more than one million metric tons
of CO2 per year produced during the upgrading process.
KBR will support Shell’s effort to maximize off-site modularization for
this project by providing pipe spool fabrication and module assembly for
pipe, process, equipment and building modules. The scope also includes
the fabrication of several unique and innovative vertical modules and
support for off-site testing and commissioning services.
“KBR is excited to participate in this critical and important
environmental project for the Alberta Oil Sands,” said Ivor Harrington,
Group President, Services. “The Quest CCS project leadership team has
expressed a deep commitment to engage and collaborate across all levels
of both KBR and Shell in order to achieve world class safety, quality,
cost and environmental performance. This project brings together world
leaders in their respective fields, with a commitment to set new
benchmarks for project performance in Canada.”
