Petronas CCS project awards Baker Hughes compression contract
Petronas Carigali Sdn. Bhd.’s Kasawari offshore carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) project gained a supplier through Malaysia Marine and Heavy Engineering Sdn. Bhd. The company—contracted by Petronas for engineering, procurement, construction, installation, and commissioning services—awarded a supply contract to Baker Hughes Inc. to for CO2 compression equipment for the 3.3-million tonne/year CCS project at 3.2-tcf Kasawari sour gas field in Block SK316 offshore Sarawak, Malaysia (OGJ Online, Nov. 30, 2022).
Baker Hughes will deliver two trains of low-pressure booster compressors to remove CO2 with membrane separation technology, as well as two trains for reinjecting separated CO2 into a dedicated storage site. The trains, which will be fitted with PGT25+ and PGT25 gas turbines with dry low emission technology, offer fuel efficiency, reduced nitrogen oxides emissions, and reduced footprint enabled by the compressors’ casing, the provider said.
Positive final investment decision for the project’s development was made Oct. 20, 2022.
