KBR Opens Nigeria Branch

Wednesday, June 20, 2007

KBR has established a branch in Nigeria, KBR Nigeria Ltd. According to the company this will aid it to fully support its Nigerian customers and further its commitment to meeting the country’s goals for increased local content. The company has been active in the West African country for some 30 years, but this is the first time it has established headquarters there.

According to the company the opening of a branch office in the country will enable it to build local support for its clients while ensuring close coordination with its global engineering centers. “Our decision to establish KBR Nigeria Ltd. is strongly aligned with our commitment to helping develop local capabilities and delivering world-class projects in Nigeria and in all of the places where we serve our clients,” said John Rose, executive vice president, KBR. “KBR Nigeria Ltd. will allow us to more fully integrate local engineering talent while maintaining close coordination with our global execution centers to support our ongoing projects.”

KBR has been involved in some of Nigeria’s major projects including refining, ammonia, and onshore and offshore oil and gas production and processing projects. The company is currently doing EPC work for the country’s LNG projects and Nigeria’s GTL project. Through its involvement in the joint venture team of JGC, Technip, and Snamprogetti, it was recently awarded the project specification/front end engineering and design (FEED) contract for the Nigeria LNG (NLNG) SevenPlus project, to be constructed at Bonny Island, Nigeria.
