KBR, the American engineering and technology company, has secured a deal with  Aramco, the Saudi energy major, to support the upgrade of facilities across the Marjan offshore field in the Arabian Gulf.

The Marjan is a major oil and gas offshore field operated by  Aramco in the Arabian Gulf, off Saudi Arabia’s eastern coast. It is being developed to increase oil production while expanding associated gas and condensate processing capacity, with several offshore platforms and related processing facilities.

Under the contract, KBR will provide engineering and project execution services for key offshore processing, gas compression, and power infrastructure facilities within the field, according to a KBR press release.

The project aims to maintain the Marjan field’s production capacity as recent developments come online, while advancing associated gas processing capabilities and enhancing the long-term performance of critical offshore assets.

The scope will also incorporate digital technologies, automation, and power system enhancements to improve the reliability and efficiency of the field’s infrastructure.

Engineering activities will be carried out primarily through KBR’s offices in Houston and Al-Khobar, drawing on the company’s experience in delivering complex offshore energy infrastructure projects across the Middle East and globally.

KBR has supported major energy projects in the Middle East for decades, providing engineering, technology, and program management services to optimize asset performance and reliability.
