Malaysia Marine and Heavy Engineering Holdings Berhad (MHB) announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Malaysia Marine and Heavy Engineering Sdn Bhd (MMHE), has secured a contract from PETRONAS Carigali Sdn Bhd (PCSB) to undertake the Engineering, Procurement,
Construction, Installation and Commissioning (EPCIC) services for the Kasawari Carbon
Capture & Storage (CCS) project, off the coast of Sarawak, offshore Malaysia
In a statement to Bursa Malaysia, the Group said that the EPCIC contract includes the construction of a 14,000-metric tonne (MT) topside, a 15,000-MT 8-legged jacket of Kasawari CCS platform and a bridge linking to the Kasawari Central Processing Platform (CPP). Upon completion, the platform will be installed in a water depth of 108 metres (m) within SK316 area, approximately 200 kilometres (km) offshore from PETRONAS LNG Complex in Bintulu, Sarawak.
Once completed, the Kasawari CCS project will be the largest offshore CCS project in the
world by volume of carbon dioxide (CO2) captured, with the ability to capture up to 3.3 million
tonnes per annum of CO2. A total of about 71 to 76 million tonnes of CO2 from the Kasawari
CCS project will be reinjected into the M1 field via pipeline, which is approximately 138 km
away from the platform.
Additionally, this facility will also be the world’s largest offshore platform fabricated to capture and store carbon. The Kasawari CCS project, the first ever CCS project in Malaysia, is scheduled to start up by the end of 2025 and will be part of the overall Kasawari Gas Development Project.
This contract is an alliance contract between MMHE and PCSB to execute the EPCIC scope
of Kasawari CCS.
About Kasawari Gas Development Project
In 2019, MHB was awarded with a contract from PCSB to undertake the EPCIC works for the
Kasawari Gas Development project phase one, which comprises the Kasawari CPP, Wellhead
Platform (WHP), and a Flare Structure together with two bridges linking the CPP to the WHP
and the Flare Structure.

scheduled to loadout in early 2023, while Kawasari WHP Jacket and Topside have been
completed and installed at the site location in 2021. Kasawari field development is operated by PCSB, the operator of SK316 Block.
