SAMSUNG E&A, a total solutions provider for the global energy industry, has received a Letter of Award (LOA) for the Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) contract for the ‘Indonesia INPEX Abadi Onshore LNG Project’ from INPEX Masela Ltd., a subsidiary of Japan’s largest energy company, INPEX. SAMSUNG E&A, stepping up its expansion into the global LNG market with a major win in Indonesia, secured the project in collaboration with PT KBR Indonesia and PT Adhi Karya.
The project, located in the Saumlaki region of Maluku Province, aims to process natural gas from the Abadi field to produce approximately 9.5 million tons of LNG per year and 35,000 barrels of condensate per day. Additionally, it was designated as an Indonesian national strategic project as an LNG project with a carbon capture and storage facility that captures the carbon emitted in the process and stores it in a nearby offshore mine. With this order, SAMSUNG E&A has secured the opportunity to pre-emptively secure the carbon capture and storage (CCS) market, which is considered a promising field in the global decarbonisation trend, as well as LNG, which is attracting attention as a bridge energy in the energy transition era.
SAMSUNG E&A plans to successfully carry out the project, focusing on its rich local experience accumulated through the experience of 20 projects executed in Indonesia and differentiated technologies of its mid- to long-term core strategy AHEAD (Execution Innovation), such as modularisation and automation. In particular, this project being carried out in a remote area, various effects such as minimizing on-site work and improving quality are expected through technological capabilities.
