KBR, Shell to align on hydroprocessing technology
KBR and Shell have formed a new alliance in which KBR will market, sell and provide technology and design packages with Shell for hydroprocessing solutions worldwide.
Refiners use hydroprocessing technologies to help meet the most stringent product specifications and emissions legislation, maximising the value from bottom of the barrel processing, all whilst using the higher unit availability of owner/operator developed technology, the firms said.
With Shell and KBR as leading licensors in the refining industry, this alliance combines the companies’ core technology and processing strengths to provide customers with quality and competitive hydroprocessing solutions, officials said.
The agreement is effective immediately and allows KBR the opportunity to bring Shell’s robust technology solutions to clients across the globe.
“Shell Global Solutions is committed to its global alliances and to providing customers with cost effective solutions designed according to their needs. Through our alliance with KBR, we are demonstrating our long term commitment to providing high quality, innovative technology to the refining industry,” said Dave Clark, general manager of process licensing for Shell.
“This agreement is consistent with KBR Technology’s growth strategy for our bottom of the barrel refining technologies.” said John Derbyshire, president of KBR Technology.
“The strength of this alliance lies in the synergies between KBR’s technology and engineering expertise and Shell’s catalyst and operations experience," Derbyshire added. "We look forward to pursuing commercial opportunities for Shell’s hydroprocessing technologies immediately.”
