KBR awarded FEED and PMS contracts for Jazan refinery
KBR has been awarded a contract by Saudi Aramco to provide front-end engineering and design (FEED), and project management services (PMS) for its grassroots Jazan refinery, an anticipated 400,000 bpd facility to be located in Jazan, Saudi Arabia.
KBR will provide FEED and PMS services to develop the process design, layout, integration and optimization of the facility, develop equipment and material specifications, prepare EPC bid packages and develop an estimate for the construction of the refinery. KBR will also assist Saudi Aramco in overseeing, managing and directing the work-related activities for all phases of the Jazan refinery and marine terminal project. KBR has also committed to execute part of the FEED in Saudi Arabia. The Jazan refinery and terminal project is designed to provide a primary foundation industry for the Jazan Economic City development and to provide additional refined products to satisfy the growth in domestic demand within Saudi Arabia. Work on the project is expected to begin in February 2011.
