HOUSTON, TX / ACCESSWIRE / March 26, 2014 / KBR (NYSE: KBR) announced today that it has been awarded an onshore liquefied natural gas portfolio contract by Shell Global Solutions International B.V.

Under this agreement, KBR will develop pre-front end engineering and design (pre-FEED) and FEED for Shell's worldwide LNG projects with an opportunity to continue as the lead party in consortia for projects in the execution phase.

As part of this award, KBR and Shell will enter a long-term collaboration in an integrated office established in KBR's London Greenford Operating Center, taking advantage of KBR's prior execution experience with Shell and other LNG projects.
