Project Profile
Value: US$1,400 million
Water Depth: 1,300m
Upstream Oil Reserves: 650 million bbl
Location: Block K, Offshore Sarawak
The Kikeh field is offshore Sabah, East Malaysia in water depths of around 1,300m. Murphy Sabah Oil Company operates Kikeh on behalf of partner Petronas Carigali.
The Kikeh development consists of a Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) vessel receiving production from wells drilled from a Spar dry tree unit. The Spar has 24 slots.
Kikeh has recoverable reserves of 400 to 700 million barrels of oil. A production plateau of 120,000bpd is planned and is expected to continue at that level for six years. Project capital are projected at US$1.4 billion.
Facilities for phase 1 include one Dry Tree Unit, an FPSO and a spar.
FPSO:
The FPSO is designed for oil production at a rate of 120,000bpd and water injection at 260,000bpd. It will be able to compress gas at 135 million cubic feet a day.
The FPSO Kikeh will be located in 1,350m of water. It will be operated SBM Offshore.
