Shell has started oil production from the Malikai tension-leg platform offshore Malaysia, the company’s second deepwater project offshore the southeast Asian country.
Malikai, located in water depths of up to 500 m, is expected to have a peak production of 60,000 barrels per day, Shell said in a news release.
“The project features a cost-effective platform design and a unique, industry-first set of risers, or pipes that connect the platform to the wells for oil production, which required fewer drilling materials and lower costs,” Shell said.
The Malikai project is a joint venture between Shell (35%, operator), ConocoPhillips Sabah (35%) and PETRONAS Carigali (30%). In 2014, Shell started up the Gumusut-Kakap platform offshore Malaysia.
