KBR (NYSE:KBR) today announced that it has been selected by
Chevron USA Inc. to execute the detailed design for the Chevron Big
Foot Topsides project. The Big Foot field is located in the Walker
Ridge Block 29 of the Gulf of Mexico and is owned by Chevron USA
Inc. (operator) and other working interest owners. The proposed
facility will be installed in approximately 5,200 feet of water
approximately 225 miles from New Orleans and 35 miles south of
Chevron’s producing Tahiti field.
KBR will provide engineering and procurement support during the
detailed design phase of the project. The contract award follows
the successful execution by KBR of the front-end engineering and
design (FEED) of Big Foot. KBR also provided key support in
obtaining project sanction for what is expected to be a
record-setting facility.
Big Foot will be an integrated drilling and production platform
with dry trees. Big Foot’s topsides facilities will include inlet
oil and gas separation, gas compression, dehydration and export,
oil treatment and export pumping, produced water treatment, water
injection and all required utility systems. The hull will be an
extended tension leg platform (ETLP).
“The award of this contract by Chevron underscores the
confidence KBR instills in its clients from the early FEED stages
of a project, and we are proud to continue our work with Chevron on
this first of its kind project,” said Roy Oelking, President, KBR
Oil & Gas. “This contract award is also a symbolic one for KBR
as it marks the company’s successful re-entry into the offshore
engineering market in the Gulf of Mexico.”
