Coastal Bend LNG Awards FEED to KBR, Técnicas Reunidas for Texas Export Project
Coastal Bend LNG selects KBR and Técnicas Reunidas to lead FEED for a planned Texas Gulf Coast LNG export facility, advancing the project toward FID.
(P&GJ) — Coastal Bend LNG has selected KBR and Técnicas Reunidas to carry out front-end engineering and design (FEED) for its planned liquefied natural gas export facility on the Texas Gulf Coast.
The FEED scope will cover multiple large-scale liquefaction trains. Upon a positive final investment decision, the companies are expected to move forward with full engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) execution, Coastal Bend LNG said.
The project will be designed using ConocoPhillips’ Optimized Cascade® Process, a liquefaction technology aimed at delivering cost-competitive LNG while reducing emissions intensity.
“KBR and Técnicas Reunidas bring impressive expertise in engineering and design across many process technologies, including LNG and industrial decarbonization, and share our mission to provide low-carbon energy to the world,” said Nick Flores, CEO of Coastal Bend LNG. He added, “Our collaboration with KBR, Técnicas Reunidas, and ConocoPhillips, and their combined experience in this space, will enable us to maximize our facility’s efficiency and economic targets, while minimizing our carbon intensity.”
KBR said the award strengthens its role in Gulf Coast LNG development, where the company has decades of experience designing large-scale liquefaction infrastructure.
“KBR is proud to collaborate with Coastal Bend LNG to help shape how LNG is produced and delivered to global markets from the Texas Gulf Coast,” said Jay Ibrahim, KBR president of sustainable technology solutions. “This award underscores KBR’s leadership in designing energy infrastructure that is efficient and scalable, helping to meet global energy demands. With our deep roots in the Gulf Coast and over five decades of LNG expertise, we’re proud to assist Coastal Bend LNG’s goal of setting a new standard for low-carbon LNG energy production.”
Técnicas Reunidas said the project aligns with growing demand for lower-carbon LNG solutions in global markets.
“Coastal Bend LNG exemplifies how we, along with our customers and technology providers, can develop lower carbon LNG by applying decarbonization innovations to meet the evolving expectations of LNG end-markets,” said Arthur Crossley, deputy CEO and chief commercial officer of Técnicas Reunidas.
