Murphy Oil begins production at Malaysia field

September 19, 2009

Then from the Business Insider:

EL DORADO, Ark. (AP) — Murphy Oil Corp., an independent petroleum producer, refiner and marketer, said Friday it started production at its natural gas field offshore Sarawak, Malaysia.

Murphy Sarawak Oil Co. Ltd. operates the development and has an 85 percent working interest in the fields with Petronas Carigali Sdn. Bhd. holding the other 15 percent.

Shares fell 52 cents to $60.45 during in late afternoon trading.

Reuters has a report as well. Synergyis proud to have supported early production of these fields (SK309 and SK311). I have no idea why the shares fell, though. Must be due to the drop of crude prices.


Bintulu Onshore Gas Terminal

August 8, 2009

Synergy was invited to facilitate a HAZOP at Murphy’s Gas Plant (MGP) or Bintulu Onshore Gas Terminal (BOGT), I don’t know which is the formal name. The HAZOP went on smoothly enough, and I hope that the client was satisfied with execution and conclusions of the exercise, and invites us to facilitate their future risk assessment sessions.
