Technip Energies secures contract for Thailand CCS project

Engineering and technology company Technip Energies has been awarded an engineering contract for the PTTEP Arthit carbon capture and storage project that is planned for Thailand.
The scope of the contract includes detailed engineering for new CCS processing units and carbon dioxide injection facilities with brownfield modifications to the existing Arthit Central Processing Platform.
It will capture CO2 from the natural gas extraction and processing at the existing Arthit gas field in the Gulf of Thailand.
The project has been endorsed as one of the flagship projects for greenhouse gas emissions reduction under the NDC Action Plan.
It will use existing infrastructure at Arthit while constructing additional facilities as required. Once operational, its capacity will gradually ramp up to around one million tonnes of CO2 per year from 2028.
“We are proud to contribute to Thailand’s first CCS project, recognised as a national landmark in the country’s decarbonisation pathway,” said Mario Tommaselli, Senior Vice President Gas & Low Carbon Energies.
Technip delivered both the pre-FEED and FEED phases between 2022 and 2023.
PTTEP is Thailand’s national petroleum exploration and production company. Speaking earlier this year, its CEO Montro Rawanchaikul called CCS an “essential technology.”
“The Arthit CCS project will serve as a pilot for cultivating expertise and driving CCS adoption in Thailand, including the Eastern CCS Hub in the Northern Gulf of Thailand.”
It will also act as a stepping stone to building a larger CCS hub in the Eastern Seaboard region (Rayong and Chonburi), the feasibility study for which is led by PTTEP.
