KBR Joint Venture Selected by BP for Two Energy Security Projects in Azerbaijan

KBR announced that its joint venture with SOCAR, SOCAR-KBR LLC, has been awarded two contracts by BP for Azerbaijan—one to support the Sangachal Terminal Electrification (STEL) project, Azerbaijan’s largest oil and gas reception terminal, and another for the Shah Deniz compression (SDC) gas field project.

Under the terms of the contracts, SOCAR-KBR will provide detailed engineering design solutions and procurement services for both projects. SKLLC previously completed the project FEED for the STEL project, and the pre-FEED and FEED for the SDC project. This additional work reflects BP’s continued confidence in SOCAR-KBR’s delivery excellence.

“KBR has been delivering world-scale energy solutions in the region for over three decades, and these projects mark a significant step in Azerbaijan’s clean energy security objectives,” said Jay Ibrahim, President, KBR Sustainable Technology Solutions. “The Sangachal terminal, which was designed by KBR and serves as a vital link between Azerbaijan and the rest of Europe, will enable the country’s transition to national grid supply and reduce emissions. The Shah Deniz compression project marks the next stage in the evolution of delivering safe and efficient solutions.”

More than 95% of the SOCAR-KBR Baku-based team is composed of Azerbaijani engineers, designers, and other professionals. The SOCAR-KBR Baku office will deliver this project with the expertise of local subject matter experts with support from KBR’s global team.
