November 25, 2014Goodbye, Tapis Crude. Hello, Kimanis.
Dateline 2014-09-10, Reuters:
Malaysian state oil firm Petronas plans to ramp up production at an offshore field this month, with first exports of the new crude grade planned for November, two sources with knowledge of the matter said Wednesday.
Ramp-up of output at the Gumusut-Kakap field is key to Malaysia’s efforts to boost production and exports from several deepwater developments in the eastern part of the country.
Production of the new Kimanis crude grade may reach 80,000-90,000 barrels per day (bpd) next year, with potential to raise production further in the future, said one of the sources.
“If everything goes right, a cargo will load in November,” the source said.

Tanjung Langsat Port to sell Johor storage terminal
November 22, 2014Anyone want to be my backer in building a calibration facility in the ‘adjacent piece of land’?
Dateline 2014-09-03, The Malaysian Insider:
Malaysia’s Tanjung Langsat Port plans to sell its storage tank terminal in the southern state of Johor and has short-listed at least five companies for a second round of negotiations, sources close to the matter told Reuters.
The terminal may come with an adjacent piece of land, allowing the potential buyer to expand and tap on rising quantities of crude oil and oil products passing through the Malacca Straits to meet growing demand in Asia.
Singapore, Asia’s largest oil trading hub, faces land shortages that have driven billions of dollars of spending on the construction of storage facilities in neighbouring Malaysia and Indonesia.
