Project Profile
Location: PM311, approx. 150 km northeast Kuala Terengganu, Malaysia
Central processing platform capacity: 80 mcf per day of gas and 1,500 bpd of condensate
Water depth: 74 m
Start-up Year: -
Kenarong and Pertang natural gas fields are located in Block PM311 in the shallow water of the east coast of the Malaysia peninsula. The Kenarong and Pertang natural gas fields lye by 74 metres of water depth in the shallow water of the Block PM311 approximately 150 kilometres northeast Kuala Terengganu on the peninsular Malaysia east coast. These fields were discovered in 2004 by 3,500 meters of total depth offering a good quality natural gas with low percentage of carbon dioxide content.
In the Block PM311, Murphy Oil and Petronas share the working interests.The Kenarong and Pertang natural gas fields were left undeveloped for some years, but the recent evolution of the natural gas consumption in Malaysia with a flattening production motivated Murphy Oil and Petronas to gear up their development including the option to call for competitive FEED in order to save time at the execution phase. Because of the respective position of the Kenarong and Pertang fields, the offshore project should include:
- Central processing platform (CPP) to be located above Kenarong
- Wellhead platform to be positioned at Pertang
The two platforms will be connected together and should weight 11,000 tonnes. The central processing platform should be equipped to treat:
- 80 million cubic feet per day of gas
- 1,500 bpd of condensate
The CPP should also support the infrastructures of the living quarter to host 20 crew members.
Operators:
Murphy Oil: Operator with 75% interest
Petronas: 25% interest
