KBR supporting Aramco’s offshore Marjan field upgrades project

Saudi Aramco has contracted KBR to support a program of upgrades to equipment and infrastructure serving the Marjan field offshore Saudi Arabia.

KBR will perform engineering and project execution services related to offshore processing, gas compression, and power infrastructure facilities.

Aramco expects the program to maintain Marjan's production capacity through recent field developments.
