Petronas today announced that the Malikai field, Malaysia’s first Tension Leg Platform (TLP) for deep-water project, achieved its first oil production on Dec 11.
In a statement today, the national oil company said the field, located 100 kilometres offshore Sabah, was part of the Deep-water Block G area where oil was first discovered in 2004.
"Malikai is the fourth deep-water project successfully implemented in Malaysia after Kikeh, Siakap-North Petai and Gumusut Kakap fields," it said.
Petronas Vice-President of Malaysia Petroleum Management Muhammad Zamri Jusoh said Malikai's development was one of the key elements of the Sabah integrated oil and gas project initiated by Petronas.
"Thanks to the support from Shell and partners, ConocoPhilips and Petronas Carigali Sdn Bhd, Petronas was able to pursue the Malikai development as a tieback to the Kebabangan platform for oil processing, prior to further export to the Sabah-Sarawak Integrated Oil and Gas Project.
"We would like to congratulate them on this achievement and for their collaborative efforts in bringing this new resource to the nation.
"Development of these hubs have generated significant value to Petronas and the nation as we strive to exploit more deepwater opportunities in Malaysia, especially in Sabah waters," he said.
The Malikai's TLP was designed and fabricated in Malaysia and is capable of handling up to 60,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day.
The field is operated by Shell (35 per cent), ConocoPhilips Sabah (35 per cent) and Petronas Carigali Sdn Bhd (30 per cent).
