In addition to covering development of the Elk and Antelope onshore gas fields, the FEED will include the creation of a carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) scheme to capture CO2 from the fields and permanently store it underground.
Stating that the partnership will help feed the future Papua LNG trains, Loic Chapuis, SVP Gas & Low Carbon Energies, Technip Energies, said, “Leveraging our expertise designing gas units, integrating technologies and managing CO2 as well as our experience delivering large scale projects we are committed to make this project a reference in the industry.”
With a 30-year history of working in PNG, Clough aims to harness its experience in the region to deliver the project.
“I am pleased for Clough to be part of another important and exciting project supporting our communities in Papua New Guinea,” commented John Galvin, Executive Vice President APAC, Clough.
The announcement comes just over a month after Technip was awarded an engineering, procurement, construction (EPC) contract that will see it integrating a CCS unit into a waste-to-energy plant in Oslo, Norway.
Using Shell’s amine-based CANSOLV CO2 Capture System, the unit will capture 400,000 tonnes of CO” per year, equivalent to 17% of the city’s emissions.
