Malaysia’s Genting Oil and Gas has started the ball rolling the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) tender for the first phase of its Covid-delayed Asap, Kido and Merah (AKM) gas fields development onshore Indonesia.

Genting is eyeing an early production facility (EPF) to initially exploit gas from the AKM fields on its 100%-held Kasuri production sharing contract in the remote West Papua province that is also home to the BP-operated Tangguh liquefied natural gas project.

Genting is seeking contractors which have developed onshore oil and gas facilities in remote areas such as eastern Indonesia and that have experience of installing corrosion resistant alloy (CRA) pipelines on land — both within the past 15 years.

Indonesian local and national companies can bid individually for the EPC workscope, which has a minimum local content (TKDN) of 50%, as can a consortium that could potentially include a foreign partner — although an overseas player can not lead the joint venture.

Registration for the prequalification process runs until Friday 11 August and Genting on 15 August will hold a pre-prequalification meeting for prospective bidders. The prequalification documents are due for submission by 29 August if sent via email, or by 2pm local time on 30 August if delivered in a sealed envelope to the auction committee at Genting’s Jakarta office.
