An October report on Southeast Asia from the International Energy Agency said the region's energy demand is expected to soar by more than 80 percent through 2035.
IEA says the region will need around $1.7 trillion of investment in energy infrastructure in the period to 2035.
Technip said it will carry out most of the work from its operating center in Jakarta. The Matindok project is scheduled for completion in early 2016.
No contract value was given.
