In a milestone project, Shell Malaysia and Petronas Carigali have delivered their first gas from their jointly operated new Shallow Clastics satellite field ahead of schedule
The development is part of the mammoth E11 Hub Integrated Gas Project offshore Sarawak, Malaysia. Five Shallow Clastics wells have come on stream from the existing E11 platform and a new satellite platform was installed during 2005. Two further phases of Shallow Clastics field development are planned.
Once completed, the $1.4 billion E11 Hub Integrated Gas Project will bring gas production from the fields through one integrated hub, before channelling the processed gas to the PETRONAS Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) complex at Bintulu.
Shell Malaysia and Petronas Carigali each have a 50 percent interest in the E11 Hub Integrated Gas Project, with Shell Malaysia as the operator. The two partners invested $265 million each.
Datuk Jon Chadwick, Chairman of Shell Malaysia, said: "This milestone is an important contribution to delivering Shell Malaysia's objective of more integrated gas. The E11 Hub Project is one of the largest ongoing projects undertaken by Shell in Asia Pacific and we are pleased the project is being delivered on schedule."
The other E11 satellite gas field developments, E8, F13 West and F13 East are expected to come on stream over the next three years. A new satellite platform has already been installed for E8 and the project team is currently completing the installation and drilling programme for the E8 field development.
