BG Group has signed a global alliance with KBR enhancing the company’s capacity to deliver commercially attractive oil and gas projects around the world, a press release said.
The single-partner alliance, which has been signed for six years initially with options to extend to up to 10 years, will involve KBR’s engineers and specialists providing technical support, services (in both the pre-FEED and FEED stages), and project management expertise across BG Group’s global upstream portfolio.
Under the agreement, KBR will provide a flexible resource that can be scaled to match the specific requirements of each project. In a lower oil price environment this is an important aspect of the alliance which enables BG Group to help minimize its fixed costs while retaining access to technical expertise and support.
BG Group operates in more than 20 countries and is pursuing material opportunities and projects in Brazil, Australia, Tanzania and the U.S.
