Regional LNG: KBR awarded Design Study contract for Browse LNG Development

Global engineering firm KBR announced on Wednesday that it has been awarded a contract by Woodside to execute a basis of design study for Browse Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Development. The study will focus on Woodside?s onshore LNG facilities within the Western Australian Government?s proposed Browse LNG Precinct in the north of Western Australia.

KBR will execute the study for a 12 million tons per annum (MTPA) liquefaction facility, as well as the associated infrastructure and marine facilities. The anticipated duration of the study is nine months. The award of the basis of design study follows the recent award to KBR of a front-end engineering and design (FEED) contract for Woodside?s Pluto LNG trains 2 and 3.(alex)
