HOUSTON, October 24, 2016

KBR, Inc. (NYSE: KBR) announced today it will proceed with Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) for the Woodfibre LNG Project.

KBR has successfully completed the first phase, focused on cost optimization for the project. Now, KBR will provide comprehensive FEED services for the 2.1 MTPA liquefaction export facility from KBR's operating centers in Houston (USA) and Edmonton (CA), culminating in a lump-sum turn-key (LSTK) price for an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract.

"KBR has been a valued contributor to the Woodfibre LNG Project as work continues to ensure the right elements are in place for what could be British Columbia's first LNG export facility," said Giraud.

"We are pleased to continue our relationship with Woodfibre as they progress toward becoming British Columbia's first LNG exporter," said Farhan Mujib, President of KBR's Engineering & Construction (E&C) Americas business.
