Cimic subsidiary Leighton Asia will build onsite housing and recreational facilities for 1,500 workers using prefabricated modular structures at BP’s Tangguh liquid natural gas facility in Papua Barat, Indonesia.
Working on behalf of Indonesian subsidiary BP Berau, camp facilities will be built across two phases, with modular construction used for mechanical and electrical installations, furniture and fittings, plus common areas.
Production on the Tangguh gas field began in 2009, with the Tangguh Ubadari Compression (UCC) Onshore Project planned to sequester 15 million tonnes of CO2 from Tangguh’s emissions in its initial phase.
The project will extract gas through the CCUS method: using carbon capture, utilisation and storage.
The Ubadari field expansion requires upgrading the site’s existing infrastructure, with production due to begin in 2028. Tangguh currently has an annual liquefaction capacity of 11.4 million tonnes.
Juan Santamaría, Cimic Group chair, said: “This initiative reflects our commitment to safety, reliability and contributing to Indonesia’s energy future through practical, on-the-ground solutions.”
Leighton Asia has worked with BP in Tangguh since 2003.
The project is part of the Indonesian government’s plan to generate 12bn standard cubic feet per day by 2030, while reducing its carbon emissions.
