KBR to provide FEED services for G2 LNG’s $11bn liquefaction facility in US

G2 LNG has awarded a contract to KBR to provide services for the development of the company’s proposed $11bn two train liquid natural gas (LNG) facility in Cameron Parish on the Calcasieu Ship Channel in Louisiana, US.

KBR will provide Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) Front End Engineering Design (FEED) engineering and FERC report pre-filing services for the facility which will have liquefaction and export capacity of 14 million tonnes a year.

KBR will use Air Products and Chemicals AP-C3MR Technology to provide FEED engineering.

Also, the technical documentation which would be needed by the FERC during the pre-filing process will be supplied by KBR.

The design proposed by the company employs aeroderivative gas turbines and other process improvements in order to increase the design capacity of each train.

KBR E&C Americas president Roy Oelking said: "KBR will combine our history as a leader in the LNG industry with our experience as a cutting edge innovator to deliver a world class product for our client.

"We welcome the opportunity to work with a company like G2 LNG who values innovation as much as we do."

G2 LNG announced its plans for the proposed LNG project in October 2015 and said advanced technologies would be used in the operations of the facility.

The facility is expected to create over 250 permanent jobs and its construction is set to commence in mid-2017.
