KBR announced today it has been awarded an engineering services contract by Woodside Energy (USA) Inc. for its proposed H2OK liquid hydrogen production facility project in Ardmore, Oklahoma.

Under the terms of the contract, KBR will provide a front-end engineering design for Woodside's H2OK liquid hydrogen facility.

"Our focus on energy transition and carbon footprint reduction is helping our clients meet their sustainability goals around the globe.
