Technip Energies Winning Engineering Contract
Technip Energies (PARIS:TE) has recently secured a detailed engineering contract for the groundbreaking Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) facilities project in the Gulf of Thailand, an initiative led by PTTEP. This contract was awarded by Thoresen Jutal Offshore Engineering Heavy Industries Limited, showcasing Technip Energies' expertise in engineering and innovation.
Arthit CCS Project Overview
The Arthit CCS Project is poised to be a significant pilot initiative in Thailand, aimed at fostering expertise in CCS technology. This project serves as a crucial effort towards reducing greenhouse gas emissions, aligning closely with national government policies. It’s integrated within the Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) Action Plan on Mitigation for the period from 2021 to 2030.
Project Infrastructure and Capacity
This project will optimize the existing infrastructure at the Arthit field while also constructing and installing additional facilities necessary to enhance its operational capacity. Once fully operational, the facilities will gradually reach an impressive capacity of approximately 1 million tonnes of carbon dioxide storage annually. This ambitious goal underscores the strategic significance of the project in the realm of sustainable development.
Technip Energies' Role
As part of the awarded contract, Technip Energies will undertake detailed engineering tasks concerning new CCS processing units and CO2 injection facilities. This effort will also feature brownfield modifications to the existing Arthit Central Processing Platform, ensuring integration and efficiency.
Previous Engagement and Success
This recent award is a continuation of Technip Energies’ commitment to the project, having successfully completed the Preliminary Front-End Engineering Design (Pre-FEED) and Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) phases between 2022 and 2023. Such continuity speaks volumes about their established relationship with PTTEP and their strong track record in engineering abilities.
Industry Recognition and Commitment
Mario Tommaselli, the Senior Vice President of Gas & Low Carbon Energies, commented on the importance of this award, highlighting it as a testament to their enduring collaboration with PTTEP. “We are proud to contribute to Thailand’s first CCS project, recognized as a national landmark in the country’s decarbonization pathway,” he noted, emphasizing the company's commitment to fostering sustainability through advanced engineering solutions.
