SapuraKencana Petroleum Makes Significant Gas Discoveries Offshore Malaysia

SapuraKencana Petroleum has made two significant gas discoveries from its three well 2015 drilling campaign within the Block SK408, offshore Malaysia.

The first well, Jerun-1 is located about 5km north of the 2014 Bakong gas discovery. The well has an interpreted gross gas column of approximately 800m in the primary target reservoir and is a multi-TCF gas discovery, the company said Tuesday. 

Jeremin-1, the second well, located approximately 15km west of the F9 gas field encountered a 104m gross gas column. Putat-1, located about 20km north of the Cili Padi gas field is confirmed as a dry hole.

These two wells, Jerun-1 and Jeremin-1 together with the earlier five discoveries within the SK408 block are close to existing infrastructure supplying gas to one of the world’s largest LNG facilities at Bintulu, Sarawak.

SapuraKencana is the operator with a 40 percent working interest with partners PETRONAS Carigali 30 percent and Sarawak Shell 30 percent holding the remaining interest.
