SapuraOMV Upstream operates the SK408W Block with a 40% stake. Other partners include Petronas Carigali (30%) and Sarawak Shell Berhad (30%).

MHB managing director and CEO Encik Pandai Othman said: “As I have mentioned before, the industry is now getting back on an upturn after the slowdown in 2020 due to the low oil price and Covid-19 pandemic, resulting in CAPEX cutback by oil and gas giants due to the uncertainties in the industry.

“2021 has been coined as our recovery year and what a better way to start it other than with a major EPCIC project like Jerun.”

“With this being our first project with SapuraOMV, we hope this marks the beginning of a long-lasting business relationship and mutual support between the two companies.”

Last year, SapuraOMV Upstream started production from its operated offshore Bakong gas field project under the SK408 Production Sharing Contract (PSC) in Malaysia.

The first phase of the SK408 PSC development aims to commercialise the gas reserves from Gorek, Larak and Bakong fields.
