Add Energy, PT Synergy Engineering win maintenance contract for LNG project in Indonesia

Add Energy and Indonesia's PT Synergy Engineering have been awarded a maintenance build contract for work on BP's Tangguh LNG expansion project in Indonesia.

The Tangguh LNG facility is located in Teluk Bintuni Regency, Papua Barat Province of Indonesia and consists of offshore gas production facilities supplying two 3.8mtpa liquefaction trains that have been in operation since 2009.

The work is being undertaken in both Aberdeen, at Add Energy’s engineering centre, and in PT. Synergy head office in Jakarta.

This project is the latest win with BP following the global maintenance centralisation contract that was awarded to Add Energy in 2016 and is still underway.

Peter Adam, Executive vice president, Add Energy, commented: “Since beginning our initial relationship with BP, we have become embedded in their way of working. As we continue to work with them across many projects, we have adopted their efficient management of documentation and data, as well as our own processes and procedures that in turn make the project development smoother and more streamlined to the end goal”.

In addition to this, the consultancy provider is already successfully half way through its last maintenance build project for BP on the West Nile Delta (WND), a development located just off the north coast of Egypt, where the team has learned some key lessons that will be fed into the planning and execution of the maintenance build for Tangguh.

Add Energy is looking to develop the region as a key growth area for the global energy company. This project is the company's second one within Indonesia.

Arief Susanto, managing director of PT Synergy Engineering commented: “We are excited to work with Add Energy to provide additional services to our client base in Indonesia.  We look forward to continuing our partnership with Add Energy for the development of similar services in the South East Asian region”.
