Progress is being made on the Abadi LNG project in Indonesia, as INPEX Masela, a subsidiary of INPEX, has announced the awarding of major contracts for the front-end engineering and design (FEED) phase. The project, which incorporates a carbon capture and storage (CCS) component, is moving forward following the Indonesian government’s approval of a revised development plan in December 2023.
Contracts were awarded for three of the four primary FEED packages. For the floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) unit, Saipem Indonesia and Technip Engineering Indonesia will each lead a consortium in a “dual-FEED” process to enhance competition. Worley SEA Indonesia has been selected to handle the subsea umbilicals, risers, and flowlines (SURF) and gas export pipeline (GEP) packages. The final contract for the onshore LNG plant (OLNG) has not yet been awarded.
The Abadi LNG project is a joint venture between INPEX Masela (65%), Pertamina (20%), and Petronas (15%). With an anticipated annual production of 9.5 million tons of LNG, these FEED activities are a critical milestone toward reaching a final investment decision for this significant energy venture.
