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.
