KBR says BP delays Tangguh shutdown

Global engineering and services company KBR, Inc. said on Thursday that it has been requested by BP Plc to delay performance testing at Tangguh LNG project.

?At the Tangguh project, the client is operating the LNG plant and both LNG trains are producing LNG for shipment. However, as a result of our client's sales commitments for LNG, KBR was requested to delay performance testing of the LNG plant, which would require a shutdown of the LNG trains,? KBR?s Chairman, CEO and President William Utt said in a First Quarter Earnings conference which transcript was available at www.sekingalpha.com. (alex)
