Samsung Engineering awarded contract from Shell for a gas plant in Malaysia

Samsung Engineering received an Engineering, Procurement, Construction and Commissioning (EPCC) US$680 million contract from Sarawak Shell Berhad (SSB), for its OGP (Onshore Gas Plant for Rosmari Marjoram) project in Bintulu, Sarawak, Malaysia.

The project will be executed in two phases; a limited scope prior to SSB obtaining its FID for the Rosmari Marjoram project; with all of the remaining scope to be executed after SSB obtains FID.

The gas plant will have the capacity to process up to 800 million cubic feet of gas per day. Samsung Engineering will execute the OGP project on an EPCC (engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning) basis. The OGP project’s RFSU (Ready for Start-up) is expected to be accomplished by the end of 2025.

Sungan Choi, President and CEO of Samsung Engineering said in a statement: “Track record, regional expertise as well as sustainable investment in Sarawak, combined with our strategy to participate from FEED stage and roll over to execute a total solution in EPCC, proved to be the right strategy, so that Shell entrusted us with their OGP project in Sarawak. We’re gratified and honored to deliver a modern, sophisticated and premium Onshore Gas Plant for Shell in Sarawak”

Samsung Engineering is further looking into discovering new business opportunities by accumulating experience in the gas market and further will continue securing additional experiences in executing a FEED to EPC conversion projects. Additionally, Samsung Engineering said it will look to grow its future participation in additional FEED as well as EPC projects in Malaysia.
