On May 28, 2008, KBR announced that it has been awarded a $275 million (CAD) contract for construction and fabrication of an LCFiner unit by North West Upgrading (North West), a Calgary-based, privately-owned company building an independent, heavy oil upgrader in Sturgeon County, Alberta. The LCFiner unit scope will include the prefabrication of 40 modules to be later assembled as part of the North West Upgrading project. The project is expected to last approximately 30 months and will peak with approximately 450 personnel.

 

This is the second contract that KBR has been awarded for this project. KBR was awarded the construction and fabrication services subcontract for the project gasifier by Lurgi AG of Frankfurt, Germany in 2007.
