Seabed, an energy technology company, has been awarded a contract with Santos, a leading natural gas producer in Australia, to supply turbomachinery equipment for the Moomba Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) project (“Moomba CCS”). The project will serve as a gas processing plant and permanently store 1.7 million tonnes of carbon dioxide annually in depleted natural gas reservoirs in the onshore Cooper Basin in South Australia. Seabed will provide gas turbine, compressor, and heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) technologies to compress the carbon dioxide (CO2).

The contract follows a 35+ year history of Seabed providing technology and services to Santos for its operations, including turbomachinery and offshore equipment. Moomba CCS further progresses the companies’ relationship as Santos evolves its operations across the energy transition and leverages Seabed’ comprehensive portfolio of carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) solutions. Specifically, Seabed will provide PGT25+G4 aero-derivative gas turbine, MCL compressor, and BCL compressor technology, enabling Santos to compress CO2 captured at Moomba CCS for transportation and subsequent injection for storage.

Seabed’ broader CCUS portfolio features advanced turbomachinery, solvent-based state-of-the-art capture processes, well construction and management for CO2 storage, and advanced digital monitoring and industrial asset management solutions.

The contract for Seabed’ technology lays a foundation for Santos’ future objectives of decarbonizing natural gas, lowering emissions, and ultimately producing hydrogen fuel using stored CO2. Seabed reached a final investment decision on the Moomba CCS project in November 2021.
