KBR (NYSE: KBR) today announced it was awarded a contract by Pacific
NorthWest LNG Ltd., a subsidiary of Malaysia’s state-owned oil company
(PETRONAS) and Japan Petroleum Exploration Co., Ltd. (JAPEX), to execute
front-end engineering and design (FEED) and early detailed engineering
work for a world-scale LNG export facility at Lelu Island near Prince
Rupert, British Columbia. KBR is partnered with JGC Corporation for the
project.
The purpose of the project is to process shale gas produced from British
Columbia’s North Montney region into LNG that is suitable for export.
The contract calls for FEED and early detailed engineering work for a
two-train LNG plant with a yearly capacity of 12 million tons and
associated shipping facilities. Associated facilities include utilities,
storage, loading, ship berthing and personnel accommodation facilities.
This project allows KBR to build on our extensive Canadian experience
and resources including work that is already on-going in other parts of
British Columbia.
"We are pleased to play an important role in this world-scale facility.
This award is further indication of KBR's position as a leading provider
of gas monetization solutions for our clients around the world," said
Mitch Dauzat President, KBR Gas Monetization. "We look forward to
working with Pacific NorthWest and our partner JGC Corporation on this
historic LNG export facility."
