KUALA LUMPUR: A semi-submersible floating production system (FPS) for the Gumusut-Kakap deepwater field has been successfully delivered to be installed at the project development site offshore Sabah.
In a statement yesterday, Petroliam Nasional Bhd (Petronas) said that when installed, it will be the largest offshore operating facility not only in Malaysia but in Asia.
"The successful fabrication and delivery of the semi-FPS showcases the capability of Malaysia's fabricators and integrated service providers in undertaking the CONSTRUCTION [] of a FPS of this scale," said Petronas president and group CEO Tan Sri Shamsul Azhar Abbas.
"This project and its achievement are attributable to the collaborative effort of Petronas, Shell, Murphy, ConocoPhilips as well as Petronas Carigali, supported by the capability and technical know-how of MISC BHD [] and Malaysia Marine and Heavy Engineering Sdn Bhd (MMHE)," he added.
The semi-FPS left the MMHE yard in Pasir Gudang, Johor, on May 13 and sailed to Desaru waters where a sea trial and an inclination test were completed on May 24.
On June 3, it was handed over to Sabah Shell Petroleum Co Ltd, which operates the field in partnership with Petronas Carigali Sdn Bhd, ConocoPhilips Sabah Ltd and Murphy Sabah Oil Co Ltd. The semi-FPS then made a 1,480km journey to arrive at the field on June 12.
The offshore installation and commissioning activities are being undertaken by Sabah Shell.
The semi-FPS has been anchored in a water depth of about 1,200m and will initially service seven sub-sea manifolds in the Gumusut-Kakap field. Designed to remain on station in the field for 30 years, the semi-FPS has the potential to act as a hub for other possible sub-sea facilities.
The Gumusut-Kakap field's full development system comprises 19 subsea wells which are linked to a permanent structure of the semi-FPS and an oil export pipeline that will bring crude oil to the Sabah Oil and Gas Terminal in Kimanis, Sabah.
The system has the design capacity to process up to 150,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day.
