Worley gets Bayu-Undan CCS project work
Santos has awarded Worley a services contract to support its Bayu-Undan carbon capture and storage (CCS) project in the Timor Sea, Worley said on July 12.
Under the contract, Worley will provide front-end engineering and design (Feed) services for the Bayu-Undan offshore facilities and pipeline. This includes the re-purposing of the Bayu-Undan facility and the offshore section of the gas export pipeline from hydrocarbons to carbon dioxide service.
Worley will also provide Feed services for the life extension of the Bayu-Undan facility and pipeline to enable continued safe and reliable operation. The Bayu-Undan CCS project could potentially store up to 10mn metric tons/year of CO2.
Barossa project is one of several potential CO2 sources for Bayu-Undan CCS. A final investment decision on Bayu-Undan CCS is targeted for 2023, subject to relevant regulatory frameworks and agreements being in place in both Timor-Leste and Australia.
