Engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) company KBR has secured a contract from Inpex for the Abadi onshore liquid natural gas (LNG) project in Indonesia.
Under a pre-front-end engineering and design (FEED) contract secured through Inpex’s subsidiary INPEX Masela, KBR will provide a package using its design and execution methodologies.
The company will carry out the pre-FEED activities from its office in Jakarta, Indonesia.
KBR’s Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) and Asia-Pacific (APAC) president Jay Ibrahim said: “KBR is a world leader in designing and building LNG facilities and we have a proven record of delivering reliable and tested solutions in a price and schedule driven market.
“KBR’s partnership with Indonesia spans more than 40 years and we are proud to participate in this significant national strategic project.
“KBR is committed to developing and enhancing the local engineering industry capabilities in Indonesia.”
KBR will provide services such as site master plan development, FEED phase work, and an EPC schedule and cost estimate.
The work is expected to be conducted within approximately six months. KBR will establish the configuration of the LNG process plant and perform studies to support utilities and product storage, as well as export facilities.
The company plans to deploy its logistics expertise to provide solutions for improved management of construction personnel, materials and equipment.
