Baker Hughes has secured a contract to supply equipment for one of the world’s largest offshore carbon capture and sequestration projects — Petronas’ Kasawari project in Malaysia.
The Houston-based service firm will supply turbo-compression equipment to Petronas Carigali’s Kasawari CCS project, which will feature state-of-the-art compression technology with a minimised footprint and lower weight that is ideal for offshore, Baker Hughes said.
The compressors will be used to enable the transportation and reinjection of the CO2 separated from natural gas into a depleted offshore field via a subsea pipeline.
“This award demonstrates the viability of significant, commercial-scale carbon-capture projects, which are critical for the energy transition,” said Rod Christie, executive vice president of industrial and energy technology at Baker Hughes.
He added, “This project proves that CCS technology can be deployed even in challenging environments, including offshore gas facilities, and provides an important step forward for reducing emissions from natural gas production.”
