By OGJ editors
HOUSTON, Sept. 29 -- Saudi Aramco has awarded KBR a contract for an undisclosed sum for the front-end engineering and design (FEED) and project management services (PMS) for its Shaybah natural gas liquids program at Shaybah field in Saudi Arabia.

KBR will provide FEED and PMS to develop the process design, layout, develop equipment and material specifications, prepare bid packages and develop an estimate for the construction for several projects related to the Shaybah NGL program facilities.

KBR also will assist Aramco in managing and directing the work related to other Shaybah program projects, which are “designed to help meet the rising domestic demand for gas and feedstocks for petrochemical projects,” Aramco said.

Work on the project is expected to begin in October.
