Technip Energies bagged a detailed engineering contract for the Arthit Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) facilities project in the Gulf of Thailand. Thoresen Jutal Offshore Engineering Heavy Industries Limited (Thailand) awarded the contract, supporting PTTEP’s initiative to pioneer CCS adoption in the country.
Arthit CCS Project: A National Landmark in Decarbonization
The Arthit CCS Project, led by PTTEP, will serve as a pilot project to build expertise and accelerate carbon capture deployment across Thailand. The project aligns with the Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) Action Plan on Mitigation 2021–2030. It leverages existing Arthit field infrastructure while adding new facilities to enhance carbon capture capacity. Once operational, the project will gradually capture up to 1 million tonnes of CO₂ per year. This will support Thailand’s efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and meet its climate targets.
Technip Energies’ Role and Scope
Technip Energies will lead detailed engineering for the project, including:
*New CCS processing units
*CO₂ injection facilities
*Brownfield modifications to the existing Arthit Central Processing Platform
The contract builds on Technip Energies’ prior engagement, having successfully delivered the Pre-FEED and FEED phases between 2022 and 2023.
Leadership Perspective
Mario Tommaselli, Senior Vice President, Gas and Low Carbon Energies, commented, “This award highlights our long-standing partnership with PTTEP and demonstrates our proven expertise in engineering and carbon capture solutions. We are proud to contribute to Thailand’s first CCS project, recognized as a national milestone in the country’s decarbonization journey. Leveraging our global engineering capabilities and CCS know-how, we will support PTTEP throughout this strategic initiative.”
Advancing CCS Adoption in Thailand
As per company press release, the Arthit CCS Project represents a critical step in scaling carbon capture technology in Southeast Asia. By integrating new facilities with existing infrastructure, the project sets a precedent for future CCS deployments. It also reinforces Thailand’s commitment to sustainable energy and carbon mitigation.
