THAILAND'S PTTEP has selected US contractor Honeywell as the technology provider for the Arthit carbon capture and storage project at its producing Arthit gas field in the Gulf of Thailand. Honeywell will also provide engineering and consultancy services for front-end engineering and design for the Arthit CCS scheme and subsequent phases of the project, subject to a successful financial investment decision. The company will also supply its Separex membrane elements for this project as well as providing pre-commissioning and start-up support in future. PTTEP chief executive Montri Rawanchaikul recently told Upstream that the company is planning to sanction the Arthit CCS project in 2023. Honeywell noted that its Separex membrane technology will help to achieve Arthit's project objectives to concentrate the carbon dioxide-rich stream, which will be geologically stored in depleted reservoirs. This project will be one of the largest commercial installations for Honeywell's Asia-Pacific region and will demonstrate the successful adoption of commercially available natural gas processing technology for a CCS application, the company said.
