BP and the Tangguh partners have awarded two consortia onshore FEED contracts for the Tangguh Expansion Project (Train 3), BP said in a press release.
The first consortium consists of PT Tripatra Engineers and Constructors, PT Tripatra Engineering, PT Chiyoda International Indonesia, PT Saipem Indonesia, PT Suluh Ardhi Engineering and Chiyoda Corp. Consortium. The second is PT Rekayasa Industri, JGC Corp. PT KBR Indonesia and PT JGC Indonesia Consortium.
Train 3 will build on the operations of the two existing liquefaction trains at the Tangguh site, which is located in Teluk Bintuni Regency in the Papua Barat province of Indonesia. The project will add 3.8 MMmt/year liquefaction capacity to Tangguh, bringing total capacity to 11.4 MMmt/year.
In addition to the award of the onshore FEED work, BP and partners signed a sales and purchase agreement with Indonesia’s state-owned electricity company PT PLN (Persero) to supply up to 1.5 MMtons of LNG each year from 2015 to 2033. Supply will initially be provided by Tangguh’s existing two LNG trains. The agreement commits 40% of annual production from Train 3 to the domestic market.
The onshore FEED is planned for 12 months with scope covering the new LNG train, LNG jetty and associated infrastructure.
