The KD Consortium, consisting of KBR and Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering Company, won the front-end engineering design (FEED) contract by Eni East Africa for a floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) facility for the Coral South Development Project located in Mozambique.
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 floating LNG facility for Eni East Africa and its partners to develop the hydrocarbon discovery in the Rovuma Basin in Mozambique.
âDeveloping a cost-effective solution for the first FLNG vessel in Mozambique was the rationale for developing the KD consortiumâ?, said Stuart Bradie, KBR President and CEO. âThe consortium allows us to leverage the strength of both companies to provide the client the best choice for the EPCIC portion of the project.â? The KD Consortium would provide the FEED for the topsides, hull and subsea for the Floating LNG facility. The topsides and turret are being designed in KBRâs Leatherhead office while the hull and marine system are being engineered in DSMEâs facility in Seoul, South Korea. 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.
