UK’s Salamander Energy enters Malaysia with shallow-water PSC


Oil in the middle of the Straits of Malacca? There goes the Jembatan Selmel Bridge… and I can see a customs station on the CPP.

Dateline 2013-12-11, Platts:

UK-listed Salamander Energy has inked a production sharing contract for a block offshore Peninsular Malaysia, marking its debut in the country.

Salamander will operate the PSC for block PM322 in the Malacca Straits offshore west coast Peninsular Malaysia with 85% interest, the Southeast Asia-focused company said in a statement Wednesday.

The block is located in shallow water and spans about 20,000 sq km. It contains the Port Klang oil discovery made by Sun Oil in 1991, Salamander said.
