On October 14, 2024, KBR announced it had secured a contract to deliver engineering and procurement services for the Beachfield Manatee upgrade, the onshore portion of the Manatee gas field project. This project, located in the East Coast Marine Area of Trinidad and Tobago, is operated by Shell and plays a significant role in bolstering global energy security and natural gas production. The gas from the Manatee field will supply Trinidad and Tobago’s Atlantic LNG facility, contributing to the country’s energy infrastructure.
