(NYSE: KBR) announced today that it has selected Baker Hughes, a GE company (NYSE: BHGE), as part of the ongoing development of KBR's standardized mid-scale Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) design.

"BHGE and KBR have a well-established 40-year history and partnership successfully delivering LNG projects," said Farhan Mujib, KBR President, Hydrocarbons - Delivery Solutions. "This allows us to further enhance our cost effective standardized approach to LNG design, minimizing CAPEX and OPEX for our clients."
