KBR announced a seven‑year General Maintenance Services (GMS) contract, with an optional three‑year extension, from Saudi Aramco Total Refining and Petrochemical Company (SATORP) for its strategic petrochemical expansion complex in Jubail, Saudi Arabia.
The agreement requires KBR to deliver preventive, predictive, corrective, and shutdown maintenance services across the entire complex, with a focus on achieving peak availability and reliability from day one. KBR will also deploy advanced analytics and digital enablement to support asset performance and safety culture across all assets.
SATORP’s expansion, known as the Amiral complex, is a $11 billion investment that will add a mixed‑feed cracker capable of producing 1.65 million tons of ethylene per year and is slated for commercial operation in 2027. The new complex will be seamlessly integrated with SATORP’s existing refinery, and KBR had previously secured a seven‑year GMS contract for the refinery in April 2022.
KBR’s leadership highlighted the significance of the deal. Jay Ibrahim, President of KBR Sustainable Technology Solutions, said, "We are looking forward to continuing to support SATORP in the expansion of its world‑scale petrochemical complex, seamlessly integrated with their existing refinery, one of the most advanced and efficient in the world." He added, "Through this contract with SATORP, KBR reinforces its commitment to driving in‑country value and upholding a strong safety culture across all assets, while laying the foundation for progressively enhanced asset performance through advanced analytics and digital enablement—designed to achieve operational excellence and sustainable performance at every stage."
KBR’s recent financial performance underscores the strategic fit of the new contract. In its Q4 2025 results, the company reported revenue of $7.8 billion, up 1% year‑over‑year, and net income of $415 million, up 11%. The Sustainable Technology Solutions segment posted an operating income margin of 19.8% and an adjusted EBITDA margin of 20.5%, reflecting the company’s focus on high‑margin, technology‑enabled work. The long‑term maintenance deal adds a predictable revenue stream that complements KBR’s broader strategy of securing recurring, high‑value contracts in key growth markets.
