Worley has secured an engineering design services contract for the Kasawari carbon capture and storage (CCS) project in Malaysia.
The Kasawari development, set to be one of the world’s largest offshore CCS projects, aims to capture over 3 million tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) per annum.
Under the contract, awarded by Malaysia Marine & Heavy Engineering, Worley will provide design and engineering services for the platform, jacket, bridge and subsea pipeline.
The company said in a press release that it has “successfully completed the project’s front-end engineering and design phase for the project” and its custom design solution reduced work hours on the project by 20%.
The first of its kind for Malaysia
The new CCS platform, the first of its kind in Malaysia, 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.
“Driven by innovative solutions and harnessing digital technology, this project highlights the role traditional energy infrastructure can play in the energy transition as the industry looks to utilize CCS as a pathway to decarbonization,” says Nicky Moir, COO at Rahnill Worley.
