Petronas Carigali is advancing the development of two offshore fields in Indonesia: the Hidayah field on the North Madura II block and the Bukit Panjang oil and gas field on the Ketapang production sharing contract. A significant subsea equipment tender has been launched for these projects.

Hidayah Phase 1 Development

A consortium of Gunanusa Utama Fabricators and Hafar Daya Konstruksi has been awarded the Engineering, Procurement, Construction, Installation, and Commissioning (EPCIC) contract for the major infrastructure of the Hidayah Phase 1 project, valued at over $920 million. This contract covers an integrated wellhead central processing platform, a subsea pipeline, and a pipeline end terminal (PLET). The first phase involves a four-well development and also requires a floating storage and offloading facility, which is the subject of a separate tender process.

Wellhead and Xmas Tree Tender

A contract valued at a minimum of $4.8 million is now available for the supply and services of wellheads and Xmas trees for the development wells of both the Hidayah and Bukit Panjang projects. For the Hidayah field, the contractor must provide surface wellhead and Christmas tree equipment, including necessary running tools and engineering services to support drilling operations. Specific equipment to be procured includes a complete conductor head assembly, upper casing head, and tubing head spool. Additionally, Petronas intends to award lump-sum contracts for a complete set of running, testing, and servicing tools for the four wellheads, as well as for service engineers and system integrity testing (SIT).

Bukit Panjang Development Requirements

For the Bukit Panjang development wells, the required equipment includes six sets of conductor head assemblies with accessories and profiles for 13 3/8-inch casing, six complete sets of compact wellhead assemblies with profiles for 9 5/8-inch casing and 4 1/2-inch tubing, six sets of casing fluted mandrel hanger and pack-off assemblies, and six single block Christmas trees. Service engineers and system integrity testing for the wellheads and trees are also required for this project. The Indonesian government approved the Plan of Development for Bukit Panjang in January. The development will be tied back to the existing Bukit Tua field and will include a new unmanned wellhead platform (BPJT-A) with six well slots, a production manifold, and other facilities. Produced hydrocarbons will be transported via a new 28-kilometer, 18-inch diameter full well stream pipeline to the existing BTJT-A platform, with host platform modifications including a new riser and control systems.

Contractual and Prequalification Details

The wellhead and Xmas trees contract has a minimum local content (TKDN) requirement of 28%. Prospective bidders have until 26 November to collect the prequalification documentation, which must be submitted by 28 November 2025. Petronas operates the Ketapang PSC with an 80.6% working interest, while Saka Ketapang Perdana holds the remaining 19.4%.
