Engineering and construction company KBR said it has sold its interest in Brown & Root Condor Spa and other accounts to Algerian state-oil company Sonatrach.

The sale is expected to add about 6 cents a share to KBR's earnings, representing a partial reversal of an 11-cent charge that was recorded in the first quarter, KBR said in the filing.

KBR, a former unit of Halliburton, said the purchase price was $24 million paid in Algerian dinars.
