KBR - EPC company profile
KBR: Explore engineering capabilities, representative projects and official company contacts.
KBR — Process technology, engineering and lifecycle delivery for energy and industry
KBR is a Houston-based technology and engineering company whose industrial roots include M.W. Kellogg, established in 1901, and Brown & Root, established in 1919. It provides process licensing, front-end and detailed engineering, project delivery and operating support for LNG, ammonia, hydrogen, refining and petrochemical assets, alongside government technology services. Its selected references distinguish technology supply and FEED from full EPC delivery; a licensed plant’s output belongs to the facility, not to KBR.
