The alliance will bring two market-leading companies together to ensure the most cost-effective solutions are presented to clients in the early concept evaluation phase of a field development project.
KBR’s and Granherne’s expertise in field development planning, concept evaluation and FEED will be complemented by Subsea 7’s subsea project management and engineering experience and the application of technology and know-how to enable improved cost-benefit evaluation for clients.
Within the co-operation agreement between the companies, Granherne will support Subsea 7 on concept and FEED studies and Subsea 7 will support Granherne with subsea engineering and technology. The alliance will operate on a global basis using the existing resources of the two companies.
The alliance further provides the opportunity for KBR and Subsea 7 to collaborate in the execution phase of offshore projects.
