by with No Comment News

Samsung Engineering, one of the world’s leading Engineering, Procurement, Construction and Project Management (EPC&PM) companies announced, that it has received an Engineering, Procurement, Construction and Commissioning (EPCC) USD 680 mil contract from Sarawak Shell Berhad (SSB), for its OGP (Onshore Gas Plant for Rosmari Marjoram) project in Bintulu, Sarawak, Malaysia. The project will be executed in two phases; a limited scope prior to SSB obtaining its FID for the Rosmari Marjoram project; with all of the remaining scope to be executed after SSB obtains FID.

The OGP plant will have the capacity to process up to 800 million cubic feet of gas per day. Samsung Engineering will execute the OGP project on an EPCC (engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning) basis. The OGP project’s RFSU (Ready for Start-up) is expected to be accomplished by the end of 2025.

Samsung Engineering was able to receive this contract after competing and successfully emerging as the successful bidder from the dual Front End Engineering and Design (FEED).

Samsung Engineering has a proven track record in executing gas projects in Malaysia and is currently executing the Sarawak Methanol Project and developing the H2biscus Green Hydrogen/Ammonia project in Sarawak.

Sungan Choi, President and CEO of Samsung Engineering said, “Track record, regional expertise as well as sustainable investment in Sarawak, combined with our strategy to participate from FEED stage and rollover to execute a total solution in EPCC, proved to be the right strategy, so that Shell entrusted us with their OGP project in Sarawak. We’re gratified and honored to deliver a modern, sophisticated and premium Onshore Gas Plant for Shell in Sarawak”

Samsung Engineering is further looking into discovering new business opportunities by accumulating experience in the gas market and further will continue securing additional experiences in executing a FEED to EPC conversion projects. Additionally, Samsung Engineering will look to grow its future participation in additional FEED as well as EPC projects in Malaysia. Samsung Engineering is prepared to become a “Beyond EPC, Green Solution Provider” for a better future.

Hitachi Energy wins major contract for the first-of-its-kind sub-sea power transmission network in the MENA region advancing a sustainable energy future for Abu Dhabi

by with No Comment News

Hitachi Energy today announced it has won a major order from Samsung C&T Corporation, one of the world’s largest engineering and construction companies, to connect ADNOC’s offshore operations to the onshore power grid in the United Arab Emirates owned and operated by Abu Dhabi National Energy Company PJSC (TAQA).

Hitachi Energy’s HVDC Light® technology and MACH™ digital control platform will enable the transfer of cleaner and more efficient power from the mainland to power ADNOC’s offshore production operations, enabling a carbon footprint reduction of ADNOC’s offshore operations by more than thirty percent.

This innovative solution reinforces Hitachi Energy’s commitment to helping customers and countries to transition towards a carbon-neutral future and help enable the ‘2050 Net-Zero Initiative’ of the UAE. 

With a capacity of 3,200 megawatts (MW), the two HVDC links will be by far the most powerful power-from-shore solution in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region to date. It is also the first HVDC power-from-shore solution outside Norwegian waters. This innovative solution reflects how Hitachi Energy continues to pioneer technology to address the growing interest from national and independent oil and gas companies to power their offshore production facilities with carbon-free energy from onshore power grids.

“We are proud to be enabling Abu Dhabi and ADNOC to make significant progress on their pathway toward achieving the United Arab Emirates’ ambition to be carbon-neutral by 2050,” said Claudio Facchin, CEO of Hitachi Energy. He continued, “At Hitachi Energy we are championing the urgency of the clean energy transition, and this major order is further evidence that we are a ‘go to’ partner for developing and deploying technologies and solutions that are advancing the world’s energy system to be more sustainable, flexible and secure.

”Mr. SH Kim, Procurement Manager at Samsung C&T Corporation, commented, “In Hitachi Energy, we have selected a trusted partner who brings deep global competence and a strong mindset of collaboration and innovation.” SH Kim continued, “Together, we will serve ADNOC with pioneering technologies that are proven to deliver for such a large HVDC project.

”The entire power-from-shore project will comprise two HVDC power links, which will connect two clusters of offshore oil and gas production facilities to the mainland power grid, a distance of up to 140 kilometers for each cluster.

Hitachi Energy is supplying four converter stations, which convert AC power to DC for transmission in the subsea cables, then reconvert it to AC from DC for use in the offshore power systems. The HVDC technology will be supplied from Hitachi Energy’s global competence centers. Also included in the order are system studies, design and engineering, supply, installation supervision and commissioning. Hitachi Energy will support the customers with a long-term life-cycle service agreement leveraging digital technologies to ensure system availability and reliability over the HVDC links’ long operating life.

HVDC Light is a voltage source converter technology that was pioneered by Hitachi Energy. It is the preferred technology for many grid applications, including interconnecting national power grids, integrating offshore wind parks with mainland transmission systems, feeding more power into congested city centers, interconnecting asynchronous networks that operate at different frequencies, and power from shore.

HVDC Light’s defining features include uniquely compact converter stations (which is extremely important in space-critical applications like offshore wind, offshore production facilities and city-center infeeds), exceptionally low electrical losses, and black-start capability to restore power after a grid outage.

Hitachi Energy pioneered commercial HVDC technology almost 70 years ago and has delivered more than half of the world’s HVDC Classic projects and more than 70 percent of the world’s voltage source conversion HVDC projects.

Samsung Engineering will build a 5,000 ton-day methanol production facility in Bintulu, Sarawak, eastern Malaysia. Samsung Engineering won the contract for the FEED (Front End Engineering Design) from Sarawak Petchem in April 2019 and the first Early Work contract in November 2019.

Samsung Engineering executed the Sarawak Petchem Methanol Plant Project from a feasibility study, FEED contract, Early Work phase, to a Licensor, Engineering, Procurement, Construction and Commissioning (LEPCC) contract with this LOI, effective from late January 2021. The plant will use Air Liquide’s technology and is expected completion in late 2023.

Samsung Engineering’s excellent FEED execution lead to the award for this EPC contract.
Samsung contract strategy, based on technology and digital transformation (DT), investing into FEED project implementation for the past several years, comes into fruition with the Sarawak Petchem Methanol Plant Project.

Moreover, Samsung Engineering has the opportunity to develop the market in Sarawak, which has large gas reserves in Malaysia, and therefore can create a promising position for future projects in the region.

Samsung Engineering’s President & CEO Sungan Choi stated, “We were able to receive this landmark project from Sarawak Petchem, by showing our exceptional engineering capabilities and commitment made during the FEED stage. Samsung Engineering has an excellent track record for petrochemical plants and in Malaysia, which will insure optimal project execution, while earning the trust of the client for many future joint projects to come.”

In addition to the Sarawak project in Malaysia, the $ 3.6 billion Mexico Dos Bocas refinery project, which also started with Samsung Engineering’s FEED strategy, was also recently awarded as a full EPC last month.

Samsung Engineering has set a target to spurring orders for new businesses based on FEED along with DT and technology advancements. Samsung plans to improve its constitution with customized marketing strategies for existing and new clients globally.
