KBR Subsidiary KBR Industrial Canada received a Letter of Intent (LOI) to design the topside facilities for the proposed Bay Du Nord (FPSO) floating production, storage and offloading facility off the Canadian coast.
The LoI for the Frontend Engineering Design (FEED) was issued by equinor Canada. The FEED scope is expected to continue to mature the technical and detailed design of the FPSO project.
The latest agreement includes an option to continue providing procurement management and detailed design services until final completion of the FPSO.
During FEED engineering, KBR will use an integrated combined cycle power plant and the latest technology to reduce crew numbers on board and maximize digital solutions to help Equinor develop low-carbon FPSO.
In a statement, KBR said: “All of these elements will safely and securely generate energy while minimizing carbon emissions.”
The scope of work is to be carried out by KBR in conjunction with Canadian subcontractor Hatch. KBR will also provide Equinor with an integrated team across Canada and London as part of the deal.
Jay Ibrahim, Business President of KBR Sustainable Technology Solutions, said, “KBR delivers maximum value to customers like Equinor by leveraging our extensive global engineering expertise and applying the latest technologies and processes to achieve exceptional results.”
The Bay Du Nord FPSO is planned to be deployed off the coast of Newfoundland and is expected to be operational in the late 2020s. September 2022 Norway’s independent ship design company Salt Ship Design was chosen Design of a harsh environment FPSO hull for the Bay du Nord project.
