Petronas Carigali Discovers Gas Offshore Sabah
KUALA LUMPUR, July 28 (Bernama) -- Petronas Carigali Sdn Bhd, the exploration and production arm of Petroliam Nasional Bhd (Petronas), has made two significant gas discoveries in the shallow water areas offshore west coast of Sabah.
In a statement Thursday, Petronas said the first discovery was via the Zuhai East-1 well, which was located in the Samarang Asam Paya Block about 130km south-west of Kota Kinabalu.
"The current estimate of gas-initially-in-place is about 550 billion standard cu ft," it said.
Similar reservoirs in a nearby well about 5 km to the east of the Zuhai East discovery were tested to flow gas at a maximum rate of 21 million standard cu ft per day, it said.
Petronas Carigali is the sole equity holder of the production-sharing contract (PSC) of the Samarang Asam Paya Block. It said the second discovery, at the Menggatal-1 well, was located in Block SB312, about 110km north-east of Kota Kinabalu.
"The Block SB312 PSC is a joint-venture between Petronas Carigali with 60 per cent equity and KUFPEC Malaysia (SB 312) Ltd, a subsidiary of Kuwait Foreign Petroleum Exploration Co, which holds the remaining interest," it said.
Wah, ada lagi gas yang boleh didapati?
BalasPadampenemuan ini sepatutnya akan memberi kelebihan kepada Sabah dan bukan Petronas. royalti 5% perlu dinaikkan lagi.
BalasPadamPenemuan yang baik dan sepatutnya royalti pun harus ada khabar gembira juga. hehehe
BalasPadamHarap para pemimpin dapat melakukan sesuatu dalam perkara ini. rasanya, royalti patut dapat lebih daripada 5% :P
BalasPadamharap negeri Sabah pun dapat manfaat dari penemuan tersebut, naikkan royalti minyak sabah.
BalasPadamPetronas dapat mereka untunglah. Rakyat Sabah tetap dengan royalty 5% itu sajalah. Kesiankah orang Sabah.
BalasPadamSabah patut dapat keuntungan daripada penemuan gas ini.
BalasPadamKalau tidak, baik biar Sabah yang mengurus gas asli kita sendiri tanpa bantuan petronas.
