CH2M was awarded a contract for work offshore Senegal and Mauritania by KBR. The contract is for BP and Kosmos Energy’s development of the Tortue field, which traverses the maritime boundaries of both countries.
CH2M will provide marine engineering support and its pre-FEED deliverables support final decision-making on the hub location, layout, and the form and method of construction of the inshore hub, as well as support to marine operations and project execution planning.
The development of the Tortue project involves subsea gas production, a floating gas treatment facility, a pipeline with domestic gas connection points and a nearshore hub facility where the gas is converted into liquefied natural gas (LNG). The hub facility provides breakwater-protected berths for a FLNG production unit and for international export of LNG by ship.
BP named KBR as an Engineering Services Contractor for the Tortue development, and KBR selected CH2M as the BP-approved civil and marine engineering support provider.
