By GlobalDataKrisEnergy chief operating officer Kelvin Tang said: “Our technical and project teams have a successful track record of bringing greenfield oil developments in the Gulf of Thailand into production on time and to budget.
“Apsara marks only the first phase of the development of Cambodia Block A. There remains further potential in other geological trends within the contract area for future investigation.”
The Cambodia Block A contract area is spread over the Khmer Basin in the Gulf of Thailand in water depths ranging around 50m to 80m.
Phase 1A of the Apsara development comprises the construction of a single unmanned minimum facility 24-slot wellhead platform producing to a moored production barge that can process up to 30,000 barrels of fluid per day along with gas, oil and water separation facilities.
The procured oil will be transported through a 1.5km pipeline for storage to a permanently moored floating, storage and offloading vessel.
