Saipem marks First Steel Cut for Tangguh UCC Project at Karimun Yard

The event was attended by representatives of the client, local and national government bodies, together with key members of Saipem’s management team gathered to celebrate this significant milestone achievement.

The Tangguh UCC project, located in Papua Barat province, Indonesia, is a national strategic project that includes the development of the Ubadari gas field, increasing gas acquisition through carbon capture, utilisation, and storage (CCUS) technology, and onshore compression. It is expected to unlock around 3 trillion ft³ of additional natural gas resources from the Ubadari offshore field.

Saipem's activities include the engineering, procurement, construction and installation and commissioning of two wellhead platforms, a CO₂ reinjection platform, and approximately 90 km of associated pipelines, cables and tie-in to existing brownfield facilities.

The Karimun Yard, recognised as Saipem’s strategic fabrication centre in Southeast Asia, is Saipem’s largest one worldwide and one of the largest in the Southeast Asian region, with over 5000 employees and approximately 1.4 million m³ area including the marine base and docks. This project confirms Karimun Yard’s ability to produce high-quality, intricate EPC modules. The facility is committed to upholding the highest standards of safety, reliability, and performance throughout the entire execution phase, further solidifying its reputation in the industry.
