Everllence to supply compressors for Thailand’s first carbon capture and storage project

Everllence has been awarded a contract to supply compressor technology for Thailand’s first carbon capture and storage (CCS) project, supporting the capture and reinjection of up to 1 million tons of carbon dioxide annually at the Arthit gas field in the Gulf of Thailand.

The company will deliver two compressor skids incorporating radial barrel (RB) compressors for the project, which is being developed by PTT Exploration and Production Public Company Limited (PTTEP). The CCS installation represents Thailand’s first large-scale deployment of the technology and has been identified as a key initiative under the country’s Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) Action Plan on Mitigation for 2021–2030.

The compressors will be installed offshore at the Arthit field and will handle CO₂ compression for capture and reinjection into subsurface formations. Storage operations are expected to begin in 2028.

Compression for CO₂ handling

Everllence’s scope of supply includes two compressor trains based on RB barrel-type compressors designed for CO₂ service. The compressor systems will be driven by gas turbines supplied by Solar Turbines and delivered as integrated skids.

The company will also provide dynamic process simulation to optimize system performance and support efficient operation of the compression systems.

Daniel Schmidli, head of sales industries Southeast Asia at Everllence, said the project represents a milestone for the region’s decarbonization efforts.

“We are proud to contribute to Thailand’s first CCS project and to support PTTEP in this pivotal step toward the country’s decarbonization ambitions,” Schmidli said. “CO₂ capture and storage is becoming an indispensable lever for reducing emissions in gas production. With our compressor technology, we bring proven expertise and robust performance to a project that sets an important precedent for the region.”

Offshore integration

The compressor units will be integrated into PTTEP’s existing offshore infrastructure at the Arthit field. According to Everllence, the radial barrel compressor design is suited for demanding offshore operating conditions while providing stable long-term compression performance for CO₂ reinjection.

Markus Hons, branch manager Thailand at Everllence, said the company configured the compressor trains specifically for the operating environment at Arthit.

“Radial barrel compressors are designed to deliver high efficiency and reliability in demanding offshore environments,” Hons said. “For the Arthit project, we provide a tailored configuration that supports stable long-term CO₂ compression while allowing seamless integration into PTTEP’s existing infrastructure.”

Local collaboration

Everllence said close coordination with PTTEP during project development helped align technical and operational requirements for the CCS system.

Luntharima Somchit, sales and business development manager at Everllence Thailand, said the company’s local presence played a role in advancing the project.

“For a project of this importance, close collaboration with the customer and a strong local presence are essential,” Somchit said. “We have worked closely with PTTEP throughout the project development phase, coordinating customer interfaces and aligning technical and operational requirements.”

Company profile

Everllence, formerly known as MAN Energy Solutions, provides propulsion, energy and industrial technologies focused on decarbonization and efficiency. The company employs approximately 15,000 people at more than 140 sites worldwide.

Its portfolio includes compressors, turbines and other equipment used across energy production, industrial processing and maritime applications, along with global service support through its PrimeServ network.

The Arthit CCS project marks one of the first offshore carbon storage initiatives in Southeast Asia and highlights the growing role of compression technology in emerging carbon management infrastructure.
