Worley to provide engineering design services for Malaysian CCS project
Australia-listed Worley on May 4 said it will provide engineering design services for the Kasawari carbon capture and storage (CCS) project in Malaysia. The Kasawari development aims to capture over 3mn metric tons/year of carbon dioxide.
Under the contract, awarded by Malaysia Marine & Heavy Engineering, the company will provide design and engineering services for the platform, jacket, bridge and subsea pipeline. Worley previously provided screening and concept selection and completed the project's front-end engineering and design phase.
Work for the project will be carried out by its teams in Malaysia, with close support from wider Worley, Advisian and Intecsea teams in Australia and Singapore.
The new CCS platform will be located next to the Kasawari Central Processing Facility and linked via a bridge. The CO2 will be compressed and transported by a 138 km pipeline to be injected into a depleted offshore gas reservoir at an existing wellhead platform.
Petronas Carigali, a wholly-owned subsidiary of state-owned Petronas, reached the final investment decision (FID) on the Kasawari project offshore Sarawak last year. The FID was approved in October, followed by the award of the engineering, procurement, construction, installation and commissioning contract for the project to Malaysia Marine and Heavy Engineering.
