PTTEP appraising Malaysian discovery, eyes cluster development

Dateline 2023-02-07, Upstream:

Thailand’s national upstream company PTTEP has spudded the latest in a string of keenly watched exploration and appraisal wells offshore Malaysia where it is hoping to continue its success of late with the drill bit, firming up more hydrocarbons for a proposed cluster development.

Borr Drilling’s rig Gunnlod is drilling the Sirung-2 appraisal well located on Block SK 405B offshore Sarawak, East Malaysia.

The successful Sirung-1 wildcat that was spudded in January 2021 discovered both oil and gas.

Thailand’s PTT Exploration & Production (PTTEP) and its partners have made new oil and gas discovery in the Sirung-1 wildcat exploration well offshore Malaysia.

The exploration well is situated in Block SK405B production sharing contract (PSC), located in the shallow waters of Balingian Province, approximately 237km off the coast of Miri, Sarawak.

Drilled to a total depth of 2,538m, the Sirung-1 exploration well encountered significant oil and gas column, exceeding 100m within the Oligocene to Middle Miocene sandstone reservoirs.

The partners plan for an appraisal well in near future to assess the upside resources.
