A consortium of Saipem, Daewoo Engineering & Construction and Tripatra Engineers and Constructors has secured the front-end engineering and design (FEED) contract for the upstream facilities of TotalEnergies’ Papua LNG project.
Indonesian contractor Tripatra said the contract covers phase two of the FEED work including for the central processing facility and well pads for the Elk and Antelope fields that will provide feedstock gas for the grassroots project.
The Papua LNG project is based on the exploitation of the onshore Elk-Antelope gas fields in Block PRL 15. The final investment decision for Papua LNG is scheduled for 17 months after the start of FEED, and first gas is planned for 44 months after project sanction.
TotalEnergies is the operator of the upstream and pipeline components for Papua LNG while ExxonMobil will be responsible for the construction and operation of the four electric liquefaction trains (e-trains) with a combined capacity of 4 million tonnes per annum as these will be sited within the US supermajor’s existing PNG LNG project.
“We are honoured to have been selected for this important project, and we are committed to providing the best engineering solutions together with our partners so that the PNG LNG [Papua LNG] project can proceed according to plan,” commented Tripatra chief executive Raymond Naldi Rasfuldi.
“Tripatra has a proven track record of providing high quality services and being able to provide a sustainable scope of work, as well as being supported by competent technical and technological capabilities to manage challenges in this project,” said Raymond.
