BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 20. SOCAR-KBR joint
venture has been awarded a front-end engineering design (FEED),
turnaround engineering, and procurement support services contract
by BP Exploration for the Shah Deniz Alpha (SDA) platform in
Azerbaijan, Trend reports citing KBR.
Reportedly, this project will significantly reduce SDA's overall
carbon footprint and increase operational efficiency, providing a
robust, long-term, high-availability power supply. SOCAR-KBR will
be responsible for the FEED services for decommissioning the
existing five main power generators on the SDA platform. They will
then create a power supply from the KBR-designed Shah Deniz Bravo
platform through subsea cables and a back-up power generator.
'KBR has been working in the Azerbaijan-Georgia-Turkey region
since 1993, which gives us unrivaled expertise with on- and
off-shore greenfield and brownfield assets,' said Jay Ibrahim,
president of KBR Sustainable Technology Solutions. 'Our SOCAR-KBR
joint venture allows us to combine KBR's proven tools, systems,
procedures and project track record in the region with SOCAR's
operations knowledge and experience in the energy sector.'
This project will be delivered from SOCAR-KBR's Baku office to
maximize local execution, with specialist subject matter expert
support provided from KBR's London operations. KBR is proud that
more than 95 percent of its current Baku-based SOCAR-KBR team are
Azerbaijani engineers.
