Procurement engineering is underway, McDermott said. Fabrication will take place at the company’s Batam yard in Indonesia. Hookup and commissioning are scheduled to be complete 4Q 2014.
Petronas in 2005 signed a gas sales agreement with Indonesian power company Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PLN) to supply up to 145MMcfd of gas from the Kepodang field in the Petronas-operated Muriah block. Kepodang is in water depths of up to 70 m (230 ft) about 180 km (112 mi) northeast of Semarang, Central Java.
Petronas acquired the Muriah block from BP in 2004 and has reportedlycommitted $545 million to develop Kepodang.
