SAMSUNG E&A secures FEED contract for eco-friendly LNG Project in Indonesia, strengthening its LNG and CCS ambitions

SAMSUNG E&A, a total solutions provider for the global energy industry, announced today that it received Letter of Award (LOA) for the Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) contract for the 'Indonesia INPEX Abadi Onshore LNG Project' from INPEX Masela Ltd., a subsidiary of Japan's largest energy company INPEX. SAMSUNG E&A, stepping up its expansion into the global LNG market with a major win in Indonesia, secured the project in collaboration with PT KBR Indonesia and PT Adhi Karya.

The project, located in the Saumlaki region of Maluku Province, aims to process natural gas from the Abadi field to produce approximately 9.5 million tons of LNG per year and 35,000 barrels of condensate per day. Additionally, it was designated as an Indonesian national strategic project as an LNG project with a carbon capture and storage facility that captures the carbon emitted in the process and stores it in a nearby offshore mine. With this order, SAMSUNG E&A has secured the opportunity to preemptively secure the carbon capture and storage (CCS) market, which is considered a promising field in the global decarbonization trend, as well as LNG, which is attracting attention as a bridge energy in the energy transition era.

LNG emits less carbon than existing energy sources, and because it goes through a refining process, it also produces fewer pollutants and ultrafine dust. In addition to these eco-friendly characteristics, the LNG plant market is continuously growing due to the increase in electricity demand in the AI era. In addition, the carbon capture and storage technology capture carbon emitted from existing energy combustion processes and permanently xssembeds it in abandoned oil and gas fields, and is considered a key technology for achieving carbon net zero.

SAMSUNG E&A plans to successfully carry out the project, focusing on its rich local experience accumulated through the experience of 20 projects executed in Indonesia and differentiated technologies of its mid- to long-term core strategy AHEAD (Execution Innovation), such as modularization and automation. In particular, this project being carried out in a remote area, various effects such as minimizing on-site work and improving quality are expected through technological capabilities. By combining its engineering expertise with KBR's long-standing dominance in the global LNG market and maximizing local collaboration with Adhi Karya, an Indonesian state-owned construction company, SAMSUNG E&A aims to significantly strengthen project execution capabilities.

Hong Namkoong, President and CEO of SAMSUNG E&A, said, "We are confident this FEED execution will lead to the EPC order. Through successful execution, we will solidify our leadership in Asia-one of our core markets-and expand our participation in technology-based businesses in the LNG and CCS sectors."
