Predicting revenue stream using complex logistics to meet cost and schedule
The Agbami and Greater Plutonio FPSOs are two examples among many that showcase KBRs project execution from the shallow water of the Niger Delta to the deep waters of West Africa and Brazil.
DETAILED DESIGN
Fit-for-purpose designs, with full optimization including materials engineering and procurement support
CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT
Develop and manage construction execution programs to ensure the lowest project costs with the least risk
Our services include project management (PM), engineering, procurement and construction management (EPCm) plus segmented services, such as front end engineering and design (FEED), detailed EPCm and overall technology systems integration.
Designing more than 35 percent of the worlds offshore production capacity, KBRs experience and expertise comprise upstream projects ranging from fixed structures and floating production facilities to subsea developments, semisubmersibles, umbilicals, risers, pipelines and flowlines.
The Malampaya topside facility was installed ahead of schedule with an installation weight of 11,500 tonnes, making it, at time of installation, the largest integrated deck in Asia Pacific and the largest in the world using the float over method. This method, pioneered by KBR, allows a complete integrated deck to be installed as one unit thereby maximizing the fabrication and testing work that can be completed onshore.
The BP Atlantis semisubmersible platform in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico is one of the deepest moored floating oil and gas production facilities in the world.
Balancing logistics, reducing emissions and focusing on sustainability is how we operate on a daily basis
High Value Services with Granherne Consulting
Besides providing EPCm services, KBR offers consulting services to the oil and gas industry through its Granherne business unit. Operating as a fully independent company with offices in the UK, Perth, Houston and Moscow, Granherne provides high-value consulting solutions in development planning, project assurance and asset optimization. With experience on over 3,000 projects in more than 20 countries, Granherne is the foremost frontend engineering consultancy for onshore, offshore and deepwater oil and gas development.
KBRs consulting subsidiary, Granherne is a leading front-end engineering consultancy for onshore, offshore and deepwater oil and gas developments. Granherne has provided services for more than 100 subsea developments, including step out expansions, marginal fields and major subsea projects.
Agbamis topsides generate 70 megawatts, weigh over 34,000 metric tons and the design was executed and completed under budget and on schedule.

Besides earning an impressive list of firsts in design and installation of fixed offshore platforms, KBR has experience with many of the largest FPSOs in the world
Largest FPSO in the World: Agbami
Confidence in engineering and execution abilities led Star Deep Water Petroleum Limited, a Chevron affiliate, to enlist KBR when needing topsides for the worlds largest FPSO, Agbami, located offshore Nigeria. The Agbami field ranks among the largest single finds in deepwater West Africa and is one of the worlds ten largest discoveries of the past decade. Using Stage Methodology and other tools to manage the project, KBR engineers designed 13 topside modules containing the FPSOs main process and utility systems. The project team designed Agbami to deliver 250,000 barrels of oil per day (bopd), 450 million square cubic feet of gas (scfg) and 450,000 barrels of water per day (bowd). With a storage capacity of roughly 2.2 million barrels of oil, the operator moored the vessel in a water depth of about 4,800 feet offshore Nigeria.
Implementing innovative design execution tools such as object engineering, stage build approach and PDMS, enabled KBR to support rigorous project management and engineering schedules.

Designing, building and managing every type of onshore oil and gas development project in any environment has enabled KBR to deliver complex logistics and resolve risks that impede revenue streams.
12
As one the largest discoveries in the past 30 years, analysts expect the Kashagan development to produce more than 30 billion barrels of oil over its lifespan.

By providing a full complement of engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning/start-up (EPC-CS) services, we continue to develop innovative technologies and project execution methods, enabling us to deliver facilities in some of the most challenging environments on earth.

KBR is an industry leader in the development of floating production solutions for all environments including West Africa, Australia and Asia.

KBR is recognized for building reliable, cost-effective, technically superior liquefied natural gas (LNG) facilities in challenging locations. We have built or are currently building LNG liquefaction projects in eight countries, often in areas where it has been necessary to create infrastructure and train the local workforce.

Floating LNG
Reducing cost and shortening the supply chain from well to liquefaction facility is a common concern. Floating LNG is often a solution when gas is so far offshore that the economics of piping it onshore become prohibitive. KBR has actively participated in over 20 key studies dealing with floating liquefaction and regasification designs. These studies include GURF (Gas Utilization Research Forum), Statoil (Hammerfest LNG Plant) and Project Azure, the Full Floating LNG Chain. Unlike other EPC companies, we have extensive engineering, procurement and construction management (EPCm) experience in FPSOs spanning decades including Terra Nova, Agbami, Plutonio and others. In addition, we have been a member of the Azure consortium, a program funded by the European Union to advance the development of floating LNG supply chains. Reducing risk in offshore LNG concepts is an area in which KBR has a great deal of expertise. Whether designing and installing fixed offshore platforms, FPSOs or semisubmersibles, KBR has a wide range of versatility. As a result, KBR has a large upstream portfolio including numerous gravity-based structures such as Malampaya, Hibernia, South Arne, Wandoo and Ravenspurn among others.
KBRs experience in offshore and LNG make us better positioned to integrate LNG with the design and construction of FPSOs.
