MAN Energy Solutions will supply three integrally geared compressors for bp’s Enhanced Gas Recovery (EGR) and Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) project at the Tangguh LNG plant in Papua Barat, Indonesia.

This effort is part of Tangguh’s integrated Project UCC, which encompasses the Ubadari gas field development aimed at extending the gas feed to Tangguh’s three-train LNG operations.

MAN’s compressor trains will be located at an onshore facility, where CO2 will be compressed to a maximum of 165 bar. The UCC project is set to separate the reservoir CO2 from produced gas and reinject it for enhanced gas recovery and sequestration.

“CO2 emissions remain a challenge in LNG production, making CCUS solutions an essential part of the transition to a more sustainable energy future,” said Dr. Marco Ernst, Head of Sales and Project Management CCS at MAN Energy Solutions. “With our advanced compressor technology, we draw on our extensive know-how and years of experience in CO2 compression to provide efficient and reliable solutions tailored to the demands of major projects like this one.”

The scope of supply for Tangguh includes three multi-shaft integrally geared CO2 compressors, type RG90-8, each equipped with an electric motor and VFD starter, oil system, coolers and control cabinet. The solution also includes a dynamic process simulation, allowing the compressor system to operate at its fullest potential in terms of process efficiency.

The Tangguh project utilizes a modular compressor design specifically developed for CCUS applications, enabling a tailored approach to meet market demands, said Lars Rosenow, Project Manager Sales at MAN Energy Solutions.

“Pre-designed compressor modules allow us to adapt our engineering more quickly and effectively to the specific project needs,” Rosenow said. “This modular approach not only helps reduce CAPEX and OPEX but also ensures high operational efficiency. Additionally, it simplifies project implementation by reducing production and testing times and streamlining on-site installation.”
