Xodus lands Malaysian CCS project
Australian energy consultancy Xodus has won the conceptual engineering design contract for an offshore carbon capture and storage (CCS) project in Malaysia, it said August 9.
State Petronas is operator of the Kasawari gas field which will supply feedstock for its liquefaction plant at Bintulu, Sarawak. Having a smaller or no carbon footprint upstream and midstream could make the LNG easier to market. Asia is buying most of the carbon-offset cargos.

Xodus said the contract was "a demonstration of the success of our expansion and recognition of our growing footprint across the Asia-Pacific region. CCS will be a key part of a global transition to net zero carbon emissions and our international experience and expertise will support Petronas in delivering sustainability across future projects. We are proud to be working together."
Xodus has already designed and operated systems to capture, process, transport, inject and store CO2. "In delivering for Kasawari, Xodus will also enable knowledge and expertise exchange with its Malaysian client and contractor communities," it said.
Xodus also already has a contract with Petronas to provide engineering services for the operator's Malaysian and international developments. Under the agreement, Xodus is delivering feasibility studies and conceptual design.
