McDermott Wins Contract for Kasawari CCS Project in Malaysia

Recently, McDermott has been awarded the Kasawari Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) project contract by Malaysia Marine and Heavy Engineering Sdn Bhd (MMHE), which is an offshore project located Sarawak, East Malaysia.

The Kasawari CCS project, operated by PETRONAS Carigali Sdn Bhd, is expected to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide emitted from combustion by 3.3 MtCO2e per year.

Under the terms of the contract, McDermott will be responsible for the transportation and structural installation of a 138km pipeline section, a 15,000 metric ton CCS platform jacket and bridges connecting to the existing central processing platform. Installation activities will be carried out by one of McDermott’s heavy lift and pipelay vessels.

Mahesh Swaminathan, senior vice president of Subsea and Floating Facilities at McDermott, said Kasawari CCS will be one of the largest offshore CCS projects in the world and demonstrates the valuable role the company plays in supporting customers in their energy transition.
