Under the contract, Technip will tie-in the facility to KAKG-A central processing platform in Kanowit field, which is located 200km offshore Bintulu, East Malaysia, at a water depth of around 80m.

Technip will be responsible for the procurement and installation of a 3.2km flexible flowline between the existing KAKG-A platform to the PFLNG1 riser, while scope of work also includes modification and tie-in at the platform.

"With this award, we are able to offer to Petronas a competitive solution through our unique vertically integrated value chain for subsea infrastructures."

The work will be executed by Technip’s operating centre located in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

According to Technip, the installation campaign is slated for completion in late 2015.
