Under the one year contract, Wood Group Kenny (WGK) will carry out design engineering works for the insulated production flowline system for the offshore gas-condensate fields, including Brecknock, Calliance and Torosa.

Work under the $6m contract will be managed by the company from its Perth office.

WGK CEO Bob MacDonald said: "If Browse proceeds it will be the second FLNG development in Australia.

"WGK is well positioned to deliver the project having successfully designed the subsea flowlines for the country’s first FLNG facility, Shell Prelude.

"We provide, proven expertise and knowledge of the technology required to create a design to withstand Australia’s harsh cyclonic offshore environment."

The engineering and design of the rigid flowline system will help Browse joint venture partners to make final investment decision in the second half of 2016.

Earlier, WGK provided preliminary engineering work for the Browse flowline system during the basis of design phase.
