Petrofac, the international oil and gas services provider, and its partners, Kencana HL and Bumi Armada, confirmed today first oil has been achieved at the SEPAT offshore early production system in the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia for Petronas Carigali Sdn Bhd.
The project, worth about US$280 million, involves engineering, procurement, construction, installation and commissioning for the full scope of the early production system in a 65-metre water depth.
The project comprises a mobile offshore production unit, a floating storage and offloading facility for the early production of about 20,000 barrels of oil per day, together with all interconnecting subsea pipelines, Petrofac said in a statement to Bernama.

Petrofac says the jacket and topsides have been installed for the first wellhead platform for Petronas’ Berantai project off Malaysia.
The drilling program has started on schedule, and the FPSO Berantai should sail to the field location around end-March 2012.
In block PM304 offshore peninsular Malaysia, gas lift facilities on the Cendor field should begin operating on year-end. Petrofac also expects the field development program for the West Desaru fault block to be approved early next year.

The award development and production contracts to local players is a game changer for local oil and gas (O&G) service providers as this is the first time local players have been invited to participate.
UOB Kay Hian (Malaysia) Holdings Sdn Bhd (UOB Kay Hian) in its report pointed out that newsflow on this sector would be forthcoming and would act as a near term catalyst for a sector-wide re-rating. This move was intended to groom and moved local O&G players up the value chain.
To recap, Petronas had awarded a risk sharing contract (RSC) to develop and produce the Berantai field to a joint operating party (JOP) formed by a tripartite.
Petrofac Energy Development, a London-listed O&G exploration and production (E&P) company would take a 50 per cent stake, while SapuraCrest Petroleum Bhd (SapuraCrest ) and Kencana Petroleum Bhd (Kencana) would each have a 25 per cent equity participation in the JOP.

I think this isn’t news anymore, but here it is out in the open. Don’t know why the link is called ‘Petrobras’ though. Taken from the Offshore Magazine, dateline 2010-03-15:
KUALA LUMPUR — Petrofac’s Energy Developments division is considering a second-phase development of Block PM304 offshore Peninsular Malaysia.
The company operates the Cendor oil field on the license, which last year averaged production of 14,400 b/d, down slightly on levels in 2008. Petrofac’s Engineering & Operations division installed a Caltec Wellcom multiphase boosting system on one of the wells, which led to a substantial increase in output. As a result, further units may be installed.
Petrofac and its partners Petronas, PetroVietnam, and Kufpec have also drilled numerous successful near-field appraisal wells. They have commissioned a front-end engineering design study for a second-phase program, and expect to submit a field development proposal during the second half of 2010.
