Petronas Finds Gas Offshore Malaysia

Petronas has announced new hydrocarbon discoveries from its exploration activities in Malaysia.

The company has found gas via the Sintok-1 well in the offshore Block SK320, about 240km northwest of Bintulu, Sarawak, Malaysia.

“Block operator Mubadala Petroleum drilled the well to a total depth of 2,775 metres and discovered gas in the main target reservoir. Well data indicates Sintok-1 to have a gas column of 292 metres, and the operator is carrying out further evaluation to assess the volume of the discovery,” Petronas said in a statement.

Sintok-1 well is the third gas discovery in Block SK320 for the joint venture partners since the award of the block by Petronas in February 2010. The well is also the second discovery in the block for this year after Pegaga-1.
