 A History
of Success
Integrating Offshore and LNG Experience

FPSO Expertise + LNG Experience + Modularization Experience = Innovative FLNG Designs

FPSO LNG Modularization FLNG

Since executing its first FPSO vessel conversion in 1977,
KBR has executed some of the world’s largest, most
demanding facilities. Engineered and built to withstand
some of the most inhospitable environments and water
depths greater than 7,000 feet, many of our vessels, such
as the Gryphon Field FPSO in the central North Sea, have
been in service for up to 22 years.
KBR is responsible for one third of the world’s operating
LNG capacity and has designed the full range of LNG train
configurations from 0.5 Mt/a to 8.0 Mt/a. KBR is an LNG
pioneer that is continually evolving to meet the demands of
an ever-changing LNG landscape – large or small, onshore,
offshore or near shore, lump sum, reimbursable or hybrid
contracting basis, no project is too challenging for us.
KBR has been at the forefront of study and design
enhancements in modular construction and has worked
with most of the major module fabrication yards in the
world. These long standing relationships assist us in
providing HSE assurance, quality assurance, structural
integrity assurance and on-time delivery while minimizing
on-site hook-up and commissioning.
Our participation in more than 35 FLNG studies, including
the first joint industry study in 1997, and our experience
as a FLNG thought leader with published papers and
presentations, is helping to advance FLNG development
from concept to commercialization. KBR recently
completed the FEED for the Coral South Development
Project in Mozambique, Africa.
