Sapura Energy to Develop SK408 Gas Fields Off Malaysia

Sapura Energy Berhad and its partners, Petronas Carigali and Sarawak Shell Berhad, have taken final investment decision (FID) to develop the Gorek, Larak and Bakong fields as phase 1 in the SK408 production sharing contract, offshore Malaysia.

The FID follows the approval of the field development plan from Petronas and the signing of the key terms to the gas sales agreement for phase 1 of the SK408 gas field development.

The development of the SK408 gas fields further strengthens Sapura Energy’s position in Malaysia as a significant partner and supplier of natural gas to one of the world’s largest LNG production facilities, the Petronas MLNG complex in Bintulu,” said Tan Sri Dato’ Seri Shahril Shamsuddin, president and chief executive officer, Sapura Energy Berhad.

The fields under the SK408 gas field development project are part of the discoveries made by Sapura E&P in its 2014 drilling campaign.

The fields will be developed as three separate wellhead platforms tied back to the existing processing facility and to the MLNG complex.

The final investment decision represents a critical milestone as we further progress towards unlocking the value of our gas fields thus, providing clear visibility of our long-term gas monetisation plans,” added Tan Sri Shahril.

Sapura E&P is the development and production operator of the Larak and Bakong fields while Sarawak Shell Berhad is the development and production operator of the Gorek field.
