The agreement was signed on 18 March 2015 with the State Oil Company of Azerbaijan Republic (SOCAR).

With support from KBR and SOCAR, the new company will provide design, engineering, technical, procurement, construction supervision and project management services for projects across the upstream, midstream and downstream oil and gas sectors, primarily in the Republic of Azerbaijan.
