Samsung Engineering has won an order to design a basic gas plant in Malaysia. It has received a letter of award (LOA) from Sarawak Shell, a subsidiary of global energy company Shell, for the Front End Engineering Design (FEED) of the "Onshore Gas Plant for Rosmari Marjoram Project." The order amount is worth $5 million.
A plant to be built in the Bintulu region of eastern Sarawak state in Malaysia is a facility that processes 800 million cubic feet of gas a day, a Samsung official said on April 16.
The gas extracted from the deep-sea gas field will be removed from the plant and sent to a nearby LNG liquefied facility that is currently in operation for use as raw material.
Along with the rough design of the project, Samsung will carry out the EPC budget calculation work, with an 11-month performance period.
With the order, Samsung Engineering has secured Shell, called the Oil Major, as a new customer, spurring the expansion of the International Oil Company (IOC) market, which was dominated mostly by advanced global companies such as Europe and Japan.
In addition, FEED, which was awarded this time, is an area that requires high technical skills, and it is known that companies that carried out FEED in the early stages of the project can gain an advantage in the process of linking the EPC business.
Samsung Engineering has carried out FEEDs at Sarawak in Malaysia and PTTDLM project in the U.S., and is set to switch to EPC this year.
"We are making remarkable achievements in the high value-added FEED field with our abundant project experience and excellent design technology," a company official said. "We will also successfully carry out this project to win trust from customers and even win orders linked to EPC."
