Project Profile
Location: 220km southeast of Bangkok, Map Ta Phut, Rayong Province, Thailand
Capacity: 2 X 160,000m³ LNG storage tanks
Expansion capacity: 10 mtpa (Completion 2017)
Expansion capacity: 11.5 mtpa (Completion 2019)
Exporting capacity: 700 mmscfd
Start-up Year: 2011-2017 (construction of different phases)
The Map Ta Phut is an example of an LNG regasification facility being developed by PTT LNG Company Ltd (PTTLNG), a subsidiary of PTT Thai National Petro Chemical Company. The new facility will involve the development of a deepwater port, a five-million-ton regasification (vaporiser) train with two 160,000m³ LNG storage tanks, a jetty, a boil-off gas recondensor, a send-out station and an LNG pump. The terminal is scheduled to start operating in 2011 (construction completed by June 2011). Phase two of the project, which is already being considered, will add a further LNG tank of 160,000m³ and also a further jetty (7.5 million tons capacity). The phase three proposals could involve a further jetty and another LNG tank of 160,000m³ (ten million tons capacity).
In December 2007 Van Oord was awarded a contract worth US$59m for dredging work in Map Ta Phut on the east coast of Thailand. The project started in January 2008 and completed in April 2009.The dredging project involves broadening and extending the port entrance to take the new large gas tankers (around five million cubic metres of dredging work), removing silt layers, and also reclaiming land for the LNG terminal development. There will also be a need for the construction of an access route and dykes. Van Oord has deployed a cutter suction dredger on the project. Construction started in 2008 and although not all of the contracts have gone out to tender yet there are some major engineering companies involved in the project. These include the project managing Korean E&C consortium consisting of GS E&C (Engineering and Construction – putting up US$390m finance towards the project), Korea Gas Corp, Hanyang Corp and Daewoo Eng with these companies been awarded the contract for integrated engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning services of a re-gasification and send-out system, a marine jetty with complete ship unloading facilities and two large full containment LNG storage tanks.
Rosneft of Russia signed an agreement with PTT of Thailand that includes cooperation in the field of LNG supplies. The two companies could work together on LNG trading, in regards to the consideration of the expansion of Map Ta Phut terminal and natural decline in gas production in Thailand. (September, 2016)
