KBR wins detailed engineering contract for Qatar redevelopment project

KBR has been awarded a contract for detailed engineering services for redevelopment of the Bul Hanine oil and gas field offshore Qatar.

Under the terms of the contract, KBR will provide detailed design and engineering services for QatarEnergy’s Bul Hanine EPIC project, situated about 120 km east of Doha.

The Bul Hanine field is Qatar’s largest offshore oil field and has been in production since 1972. The redevelopment project seeks to extend its life, increase production from 40,000 b/d to 95,000 b/d, and boost capacity.

The project involves an $11-billion investment, new offshore and onshore facilities, drilling about 150 new wells, and installing a new 150-km subsea pipeline.
