US energy services firm Baker Hughes has secured a long-term service agreement award from UK-based energy giant BP for its Tangguh LNG plant in Papua Barat, Indonesia.
According to a statement by Baker Hughes, this comprehensive 90-month agreement covers spare parts, repair services, and field service engineering support for critical turbomachinery at the facility including heavy-duty gas turbines, steam turbines, and compressors for three LNG trains, helping to ensure its continued reliable operation.
Baker Hughes did not provide the price tag of the deal.
The agreement builds on Baker Hughes’ long-standing relationship with BP at the Tangguh LNG project since 2009, and most recently an award in 2024 to supply additional critical power and compression systems for BP’s Tangguh UCC project.
Baker Hughes noted it is collaborating with PT Imeco Inter Sarana as its local consortium partner to deliver on the local content requirements of the agreement.
In October 2023, BP shipped the first LNG cargo produced by the new third liquefaction train at the Tangguh LNG facility.
The start-up of Tangguh Train 3 added 3.8 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) of LNG production capacity to the existing two-train facility, bringing total plant capacity to 11.4 mtpa.
BP is the operator of Tangguh LNG, acting on behalf of Tangguh production sharing contract partners.
The energy giant operates Tangguh with 40.22 percent participating interest, with partners MI Berau (16.30 percent) CNOOC Muturi (13.90 perrcent), Nippon Oil Exploration (12.23 percent), KG Berau Petroleum (8.56 percent), KG Wiriagar Petroleum (1.44 percent), and Indonesia Natural Gas Resources Muturi (7.35 percent).
