The KD Consortium, consisting of KBR and Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering Co. Ltd., has been awarded a FEED contract by Eni East Africa SpA for a floating LNG (FLNG) facility for the Coral South Development Project located in Mozambique, KBR said in a news release.

With the award, the KD consortium will be one of three consortia competing for the engineering, procurement, construction, installation and commissioning (EPCIC) contract to build the new FLNG facility for Eni East Africa and its partners to develop the hydrocarbon discovery in the Rovuma Basin in Mozambique.

Only one consortium will be chosen to take the project to the EPCIC phase.

The KD Consortium will provide the FEED for the topsides, hull and subsea for the FLNG facility. The topsides and turret are being designed in KBR’s Leatherhead office while the hull and marine system are being engineered in DSME’s facility in Seoul, South Korea, the release said.

The FLNG facility will be a turret moored double-hull floating vessel, on which gas receiving, processing, liquefaction, and offloading facilities will be mounted together with LNG and condensate storage.

Eni’s Coral South Development Project is located in the deep waters of the Rovuma Basin, which straddles Mozambique’s northern border with Tanzania, KBR said in the release. Coral South is situated about 241 km (150 miles) northeast of Pemba and 48 km (30 miles) from the Mozambique coast.

Expected revenue from the contract will be included in the third-quarter 2014 backlog of unfilled orders for the hydrocarbons segment. The contract value was not disclosed.
