Once completed, the project will be

• the world’s largest offshore CCS project by volume of CO₂ captured
• the first CCS project in Malaysia

Malaysia Marine and Heavy Engineering Sdn Bhd (MMHE), a wholly owned subsidiary of Malaysia Marine and Heavy Engineering Holdings Berhad , has secured a contract from PETRONAS Carigali Sdn Bhd to undertake the Engineering, Procurement, Construction, Installation and Commissioning  services for the Kasawari Carbon Capture & Storage project, off the coast of Sarawak, offshore Malaysia. MMHE was awarded the Front-End Engineering Design  Contract in a FEED competition mode for this project early this year.

The EPCIC contract includes the construction of a 14,000-metric tonne (MT) topside, a 15,000-MT 8-legged jacket of Kasawari CCS platform and a bridge linking to the Kasawari Central Processing Platform (CPP). Upon completion, the platform will be installed in a water depth of 108 metres (m) within SK316 area, approximately 200 kilometres (km) offshore from PETRONAS LNG Complex in Bintulu, Sarawak.

Once completed, the Kasawari CCS project will be the largest offshore CCS project in the world by volume of carbon dioxide (CO₂) captured, with the ability to capture up to 3.3 million tonnes per annum of CO₂. A total of about 71 to 76 million tonnes of CO₂ from the Kasawari CCS project will be reinjected into the M1 field via pipeline, which is approximately 138 km away from the platform. Additionally, this facility will also be the world’s largest offshore platform fabricated to capture and store carbon. The Kasawari CCS project, the first ever CCS project in Malaysia, is scheduled to start up by the end of 2025 and will be part of the overall Kasawari Gas Development Project.

This contract is an alliance contract between MMHE and PCSB to execute the EPCIC scope of Kasawari CCS.
