KPHL expecting to tie in offshore projects

Kumul Petroleum Holdings Limited (KPHL) is looking at the potential to tie in offshore gas projects to its proposed onshore facilities in Kopi, Gulf Province.

KPHL Managing Director, Wapu Sonk, told Loop PNG that while they were not really involved in potential offshore gas projects such as Pasca, they will look at tying them into the proposed Kopi industrial hub.

“Pasca is driven by Twinza and they were looking at a condensate stripping project offshore, which is different to what we are promoting.

“But, that project could link in as well where they can ship the condensate, sell the condensate to say Kopi, which is onshore, and we’ll have a floating LNG facility or power plant or a petrochemical plant.

“We’re looking at the onshore fields to tie into what we are conceptualising as the industrial hub in Kopi,” he said.

Sonk said the same goes for other offshore projects, such as Pandora and Uramu.
