KBR announced that its partnership with PT Rekayasa Industri, JGC Corporation and PT JGC Indonesia, the RJK JV, has been awarded the onshore front-end engineering and design (FEED) contract by BP for a third liquefaction train at the Tangguh LNG Project in West Papua province, Indonesia.
The expansion project follows the successful completion of the two-train Tangguh LNG plant in 2009 and associated facilities by a joint venture partnership between JGC Corporation, KBR and PT Pertafenikki Engineering (KJP JV). The Tangguh LNG Project, located in remote Bintuni Bay, West Papua, was the largest capital development project ever undertaken in Indonesia and involved the successful delivery of community, local content, environmental and safety performance.
“KBR is proud to continue our longstanding relationship with BP and our joint venture partners, PT Rekayasa Industri and JGC Corporation and PT JGC Indonesia, on the Tangguh LNG expansion. This project represents KBR’s ability to bring world-class engineering skills to complex energy projects and follows KBR’s 30-year presence and successful track record in the Asia-Pacific region”, said Stuart Bradie, KBR president and CEO. Tangguh’s current capacity is 7.6 million tons and is expected to reach 11.4 million tons when the expansion project is completed.
