Southeast Asia’s oilfield service minnows come of age

August 24, 2013

Dateline 2013-07-21:

From hauling rigs to delivering toilet paper, firms from Southeast Asia are cornering lucrative niches of the oilfield services market to deliver growth that far outstrips that of much larger global peers.

Their expertise ranges from laying steel pipes at the bottom of the ocean and moving huge rigs from the South China Sea to the Gulf of Mexico, to delivering provisions for the rig crews.

Maximising oil recovery from maturing oil fields

August 3, 2013

Dateline 2013-07-05, Sin Chew:

Malaysia is set to enhance its crude oil recovery from its maturing oil fields through the Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) technology using its own expertise in petroleum engineering.

Works are already underway to implement EOR at the Tapis oil field located about 200 kilometres off Terengganu that produces extra-light and low-sulphur crude oil.

Tapis is one of seven mature offshore fields that ExxonMobil Exploration and Production Malaysia Inc. (EMEPMI) and PETRONAS Carigali Sdn Bhd (PCSB) have agreed to develop as part of a 25-year production-sharing contract that was finalized in 2009.

The EOR is a major engineering milestone for the country as local companies like SapuraKencana Petroleum Bhd and Malaysia Marine and Heavy Engineering Holdings Bhd (MMHE) are involved in fabricating the jacket and deck respectively.

Good times ahead for SapuraKencana: HwangDBS

September 19, 2012

Dateline 2012-09-11:

SapuraKencana Petroleum Bhd, which will be busy tendering for jobs by Petroliam Nasional Bhd (Petronas) these few months, is set to secure new fabrication and marginal field contracts in the second half of this year, HwangDBS Vickers Research Sdn Bhd said.

“Contracts in the pipeline include the Pan Malaysia hook-up commissioning jobs worth RM10 billion and Petronas’ inspection, repair and maintenance contract, which may be worth up to RM800 million, as well as fabrication projects at the Samarang, Dulang and Bokor platforms worth over RM3 billion,” the research firm said in a report yesterday.

“(Additionally,) Petronas is expected to award two risk service contracts for the Tembikai and Cenang marginal fields near Block PM314 off the peninsula and the award of these contracts, possibly by the fourth quarter of 2012, could be a catalyst,” said HwangDBS.

HwangDBS believes that SapuraKencana is a top contender to bag major contracts from Petronas as it is the only player in the country that offers the full spectrum of services across the oil and gas (O&G) value chain.

SapuraKencana becomes nation’s largest O&G player

June 14, 2012

Dateline 2012-05-18:

The listing of SapuraKencana Petroleum Bhd (SapuraKencana) on the Main Market of Bursa Malaysia signifies the successful conclusion of the massive RM11.85 billion merger exercise of two Malaysian oil and gas (O&G) powerhouses, SapuraCrest Petroleum Bhd and Kencana Petroleum Bhd.

According to the company, the merger was initiated in July last year. The merger created Malaysia’s largest O&G service provider, which also ranked among the top five O&G service companies in the world by asset value.

SapuraKencana’s chairman Datuk Hamzah Bakar said, “The O&G industry is now looking for turnkey service providers that can manage complex tasks end to end. Our new, enhanced position backed by a full suite of services and a solid international track record places us in good stead to expand our global footprint while tapping opportunities locally.”
