US contractor KBR has confirmed it has won the pre-front engineering and design contract for Inpex’s Abadi onshore liquefied natural gas project in Indonesia.

KBR has been tasked with providing a “cost-competitive, pre-FEED package” utilising the company’s own design and execution methods.

The pre-FEED work, expected to be completed by November, will be carried out entirely from KBR’s office in Jakarta.
