Fossil Energy – Indonesia
Saipem and its consortium partner PT Meindo Elang Indah have been awarded an offshore EPCI contract by BP Berau.
The EPCI contract is part of an integrated project known as the Tangguh UCC Project, comprising Ubadari field development, enhanced gas recovery through carbon capture, utilization and storage (EGR/CCUS), and onshore compression.
BP Berau operates the project in Papua Barat Province, Indonesia. The value of the contract is approximately 1.2 billion USD, and Saipem’s share amounts to approximately 1 billion USD.
The Tangguh UCC project encompasses the production of natural gas resources from the Ubadari offshore field and their transportation to the onshore LNG plant, where they will undergo a CO2 separation process. The captured CO2 will then be sent to an offshore platform for re-injection into the reservoir, helping to extract additional natural gas resources.
Saipem’s activities include the engineering, procurement, construction and installation of two wellhead production platforms, a wellhead platform for the re-injection of CO2 and approximately 90 km of associated pipelines.
The platforms will be fabricated locally in Karimun, Saipem’s largest yard worldwide and one of the largest in the Southeast Asian region, with over 5,000 employees and approximately 1.4 million square meters area including the marine base and docks.
