KBR has been selected by INPEX Masela Ltd. to head the initial engineering design initial engineering design (FEED) of the onshore facilities for the Abadi LNG project, located in the Indonesian province of Maluku. This phase will pave the way for a plant with a production capacity of 9.5 million tons of liquefied natural gas per year, 150 million cubic feet per day of pipeline gas and 35,000 barrels of condensate per day.
Abadi LNG project begins engineering phase
Designated as a national strategic project by the Indonesian government, Abadi LNG seeks to strengthen the country’s energy security and foster regional industrial development. The facility will integrate carbon capture and storage (CCS) systems (CCS) to reduce emissions generated during production, aligning with energy transition and sustainability commitments.
KBR will work in conjunction with Samsung E&A and state-owned PT Adhi Karya to carry out a comprehensive FEED plan. The scope includes conceptual engineering, process design, technical specifications and feasibility analysis that will serve as the basis for the final investment decision and an eventual EPC (engineering, procurement and construction) contract.
Abadi LNG moves forward with carbon sequestration
Located in Saumlaki, Maluku, the plant will process gas from the Abadi field to supply domestic and international markets. The implementation of CCS and the integration of operational efficiency technologies position this complex as a reference in eco-efficient LNG projects projects in the region.
The success of this initial phase could open the door to long-term contracts and strengthen KBR and Samsung E&A’s presence in the competitive Southeast Asian energy market, where demand for clean and reliable energy solutions continues to rise.
