Baker Hughes, one of the largest oilfield services companies in the world, has entered into a new partnership to supply equipment for an offshore carbon capture project

Petronas' Kasawari offshore CCS project in Malaysia will be supported by the company after the closing of the new partnership. Baker Hughes will provide the necessary equipment to optimize carbon capture and ensure environmental commitment.

The year started with everything for the equipment and T offshore Baker Hughes. The company has a partnership with Malaysia Marine and Heavy Engineering for a carbon capture project in Malaysia. Petronas' offshore Kasawari CCS initiative aims to reduce CO2 emissions by 3,3 million tonnes per year through carbon capture. Thus, the technology company will provide equipment that will contribute to the business.

Offshore Kasawari CCS project can reduce up to 3,3 million tons of carbon through gas capture

The Malaysia Marine and Heavy Engineering contract awarded to Baker Hughes has guaranteed the technology company one of the most important partnerships for carbon capture in the year 2023.

The company will supply state-of-the-art equipment to support Petronas' Kasawari offshore CCS project in Malaysia, which aims to reduce up to 3,3 million tonnes of gas using the carbon capture method.

In this way, Baker Hughes equipment will be responsible for the compression process with a minimized footprint and weight, as well as a power density that allows for higher flows per unit.

The objective is to use compressors to allow the transport and reinjection of carbon separated from natural gas in a depleted field, using a subsea pipeline to make this happen.

As such, Baker Hughes will supply two low-footprint compression trains to perform carbon removal using membrane separation technology.

The company will still be responsible for providing two trains to reinject the separated CO2 into a dedicated storage location at the end of the process.

Baker Hughes intends to support the gas capture carbon reduction initiative in Malaysia by supplying the new equipment

The CCS offshore Kasawari project is a major initiative to reduce the amount of CO2 currently emitted through flaring from the general Kasawari gas development.

Thus, the supply of offshore equipment from Baker Hughes will be a way to support Petronas in the development of a carbon capture center in Malaysia over the next few years.

The company currently has net zero carbon emission goals by 2050, and intends to count on the support of the technology company to reach this level.

“This contract demonstrates the feasibility of significant commercial-scale carbon capture projects that are critical to the energy transition,” said Rod Christie, Executive Vice President, Industrial and Energy Technology, Baker Hughes. “This project proves that CCS technology can be deployed even in challenging environments, including offshore gas installations, and provides an important step towards reducing emissions from natural gas production.”
