The Pluto offshore production platform is a riser and gas export platform with the capability to transfer 1,600 million standard cubic feet per day (MMscfd). Eos was initially awarded the Front-End Engineering and Design (FEED) contract for the Pluto Offshore platform in September 2006. The contract provided an option for execution services to include detailed design, procurement management services and construction management assistance.

"We are delighted to continue to play a key role for Woodside in this world class development. This demonstrates our capability in fixed offshore structures and reinforces KBR's continued presence as a world class Offshore contractor," said Lindsay Woodhead, KBR's Vice president, Offshore Operations.

The initial phase of the Pluto LNG Project includes five subsea big bore wells on the Pluto field with flowlines to the offshore production platform which is located in more than 275 feet of water. A 36-inch subsea pipeline will connect the offshore platform to an onshore liquefied natural gas (LNG) production plant with an estimated production of 4.3 million tons per annum of LNG.

KBR is a global engineering, construction and services company supporting the energy, petrochemicals, government services and civil infrastructure sectors. The company offers a wide range of services through its Downstream, Government and Infrastructure, Services, Technology, Upstream and Ventures business segments.
