Technip Energies will deliver detailed engineering for PTTEP’s Arthit CCS project, supporting Thailand’s first large-scale carbon capture initiative.
Technip Energies has secured a detailed engineering contract for Thailand’s first-ever Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) project, marking a significant milestone in the country’s transition toward lower-carbon energy systems. The contract was awarded by Thoresen Jutal Offshore Engineering Heavy Industries Limited (Thailand) for PTTEP’s Arthit Carbon Capture and Storage facilities project, which is located in the Gulf of Thailand.
The Arthit CCS initiative is being led by PTTEP as a pioneering pilot project aimed at building national expertise in carbon capture and storage while laying the groundwork for broader deployment of CCS technologies across Thailand. As the country intensifies its efforts to curb greenhouse gas emissions, this project is positioned as a critical enabler of long-term decarbonization, aligning closely with Thailand’s government policies and climate commitments. Notably, the project is formally recognized under Thailand’s Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) Action Plan on Mitigation for the period 2021–2030, highlighting its strategic importance at a national level.
A key advantage of the Arthit CCS project is its integration with existing offshore infrastructure. The development will utilize the current facilities at the Arthit gas field, while incorporating the construction and installation of additional systems necessary to support carbon capture, processing, and injection. By leveraging established assets, PTTEP aims to optimize project efficiency, reduce development risk, and accelerate the deployment timeline. Once fully operational, the CCS facilities are expected to progressively increase capacity, ultimately reaching the ability to capture and store approximately one million tonnes of carbon dioxide per year.
Under the newly awarded contract, Technip Energies will be responsible for delivering detailed engineering services for the project. The scope of work includes engineering design for new CCS processing units and dedicated CO2 injection facilities, as well as brownfield modifications to the existing Arthit Central Processing Platform. These upgrades are essential to ensure seamless integration between the current production infrastructure and the new carbon capture and storage systems, while maintaining operational safety and reliability.
This award builds on Technip Energies’ earlier involvement in the Arthit CCS project. The company previously completed both the Pre-Front End Engineering Design (Pre-FEED) and Front End Engineering Design (FEED) phases between 2022 and 2023. Having already developed a deep understanding of the project’s technical requirements and site-specific constraints, Technip Energies is well positioned to advance the project into the detailed engineering stage and support its successful execution.
Commenting on the contract, Mario Tommaselli, Senior Vice President of Gas & Low Carbon Energies at Technip Energies, emphasized the significance of the award. He noted that the project reflects the company’s long-standing partnership with PTTEP and reinforces its established capabilities in engineering and carbon capture solutions. He further highlighted that contributing to Thailand’s first CCS project is a source of pride for Technip Energies, as the initiative represents a national landmark in the country’s decarbonization journey.
Technip Energies plans to draw on its global engineering resources and extensive CCS expertise to support PTTEP throughout this strategically important project. By doing so, the company aims not only to deliver a technically robust solution for the Arthit field, but also to help accelerate the adoption of carbon capture and storage as a practical and scalable pathway for reducing emissions in Thailand’s energy sector.
