KBR (NYSE:KBR) today announced that it has been awarded a
contract by Chevron U.S.A. Inc. to execute detailed design
engineering for the Jack & St. Malo floating production unit
(FPU) located in the Lower Tertiary trend in the deepwater Gulf of
Mexico. The Jack and St. Malo fields are located within 25 miles
(40 km) of one another approximately 280 miles (450 km) south of
New Orleans, Louisiana, in water depths of 7,000 feet (2,100
m).
KBR will provide design and engineering support through
fabrication for the deep draft semi-submersible (semi) including:
hull, deck box, accommodations, appurtenances, equipment
foundations; mooring system design; and anchor suction piles. The
semi will be designed to minimize vessel motion and allow
acceptable fatigue lives of the moorings, risers and
umbilicals.
“Following the announcement of the detailed design contract for
Big Foot in January 2011, KBR is overwhelmingly proud to accept the
award for Jack & St. Malo FPU,” said Dennis Calton, President,
KBR Oil & Gas. “As a company, we’ve worked strategically to
re-enter the Gulf of Mexico. The opportunity to execute another
project for Chevron in the Gulf positions KBR at the forefront of
deep water field development.”
KBR subsidiaries Granherne and GVA consultants will collaborate
on the execution of this phase of the project. The award of this
contract follows the successful completion of conceptual
engineering and design, pre-FEED and FEED by KBR for the Jack &
St. Malo FPU project.
KBR is a global engineering, construction and services company
