Gazprom Dobycha Shelf LLC, a fully owned subsidiary of Gazprom JSC, is developing the Shtokman project. CB&I's contract is scheduled for completion next year; no value was disclosed.

The Shtokman project consists of production, treatment, transportation, liquefaction, storage, and shipping of natural gas and NGLs from Shtokman field located 600 km offshore in the Barents Sea, north of Kola Peninsula, Russia. The field has an estimated 3.9 trillion cu m of natural gas reserves.

Concept and FEED development will provide the project schedule and cost estimates for the engineering, procurement, and construction phase. CB&I will also prepare the Russian design dossier (Proyekt) in accordance with regulatory requirements, said the company announcement.
