Petronas awards Kasawari development compression

Petronas Carigali Sdn Bhd contractor Malaysia Marine and Heavy Engineering (MMHE) has awarded Siemens Gas and Power a contract to supply three SGT-300 industrial gas turbine generators, three mechanical-drive SGT-300 gas turbines, and three Datum centrifugal compressors for Petronas’s 3-tcf Kasawari gas field development project in the South China Sea, offshore Sarawak, Malaysia.

The gas turbine package will power the development’s 900-MMcfd SK316 NC3 offshore central processing platform (CPP) and the centrifugal trains will export sales gas via 80-km pipeline to the project’s nearshore riser platform for further shipment to Petronas’ LNG plant in Bintulu, Sarawak.

Petronas expects the CPP to start operations first-quarter 2023, producing from five subsea wells.

MMHE is in a joint venture with TechnipFMC for Kasawari’s development.
