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.
