Technip Energies has announced the signing of a detailed engineering contract with Thoresen Jutal Offshore Engineering Heavy Industries Limited for the development of the Arthit carbon capture and storage (CCS) project, led by PTT Exploration and Production Public Company Limited (PTTEP). This contract follows a long-standing collaboration between Technip Energies and PTTEP, covering multiple technical phases since 2022.

The Arthit CCS project, located in the Gulf of Thailand, is the country’s first development of this kind. It targets a processing capacity of approximately 1 million tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) per year once fully operational. The site will leverage existing infrastructure from the Arthit gas field, with the addition of new units dedicated to CO2 separation, processing, and injection.

A structuring market in the Asia-Pacific region

The agreement covers the detailed engineering of all required technical units, including CO2 processing facilities and modifications to the central processing platform. The previous stages of the project, namely the pre-front end engineering design (Pre-FEED) and front end engineering design (FEED), were also conducted by Technip Energies between 2022 and 2023.

This development aligns with Thailand’s industrial strategy to integrate emission reduction technologies into its energy sector without overhauling existing infrastructure. The initiative benefits from a regulatory framework set by the National Mitigation Action Plan 2021–2030.

Technip Energies strengthens its carbon market position

The contract has been recorded in the third quarter 2025 order intake under Technip Energies’ Technology, Products and Services segment. The company is thus reinforcing its footprint in Asian markets, where carbon capture projects are still in early stages but are gaining traction with growing support from governments and national oil companies.

Mario Tommaselli, Senior Vice President Gas & Low Carbon Energies at Technip Energies, stated that this contract “confirms our recognised expertise in engineering and carbon capture solutions”, also highlighting the strategic nature of this partnership with PTTEP for developing local capabilities.
