KBR and its partners JGC and Chiyoda have signed an engineering procurement and construction contract for the Ichthys LNG project worth US$ 15 billion.

A spokesman from KBR stated that: “We are pleased to support Inpex and Total in delivering what will be one of the world’s largest LNG facilities. This is a visionary project that will bring benefits both to Japan, through a long term supply of cleaner energy, and to Australia, through economic growth and community development.”
