LNG Beyond the Contract: How Texas LNG & Kiewit Built a High-Trust Owner/EPC Partnership
Delivering large-scale LNG projects requires far more than engineering and construction expertise — it requires deep alignment between owners and EPC partners from the earliest stages of project development.
Join Brad Kaufman, Executive Vice President at Kiewit, and Oliver Wood, Project Director for Texas LNG, for a candid fireside discussion on the strategies, decisions, and working relationships that helped shape one of the industry’s emerging LNG developments.
The conversation will explore how early executive engagement, transparent communication, collaborative value engineering, and disciplined decision-making helped both organizations navigate project complexity, commercial pressures, cost targets, financing realities, and execution risk. Speakers will also discuss the role of modularization, supply chain flexibility, and owner/EPC alignment in creating greater certainty for LNG megaproject delivery.
