Oman Liquified Natural Gas (Oman LNG) has awarded US-based KBR a contract to provide project management consultancy (PMC) services for a power plant in Sur.

The 120MW gas-fired power plant will be used to maintain liquefied natural gas (LNG) production at Oman LNG's existing plant in Sur. The facility will also help reduce fuel gas consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.

KBR’s cost-reimbursable contract involves helping manage the selection and management of an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractor over a three-year period.

"We are proud of the pivotal role that KBR has played in the development of this project during the pre-feed and feed phases, and are excited to continue to grow our substantial presence in the Middle East through this contract," said Jay Ibrahim, KBR president for Europe, Middle East and Africa, and Asia-Pacific.

In May 2017, KBR won another contract to design and manage a project for Oman Liquefied Natural Gas (Oman LNG) at Sur.

That contract includes a front-end engineering and design (feed) study and project management services.

KBR was the feed contractor at the original LNG facility developed at the site.

Oman LNG’s plant at Qahlat near Sur has the capacity to produce 10.4 million tonnes a year (t/y) of LNG for export.
