2. ScopeofWorks Key facts
Location: Sabah, Malaysia
Depth: ~1,200 metres (~3,900 feet)
Interests: Shell 33% (operator), ConocoPhillips Sabah 33%, Petronas Carigali 20%, Murphy Sabah Oil 14%
Fields: Gumusut
Peak annual production: 135 kbbl/d
Key contractors: MISC Berhad, FMC Technologies,Malaysia Marine and Heavy Engineering, Atwood Oceanics , JP Kenny,
Sapura Acergy, Technip Geoproduction
Project development
On October 8, 2014, Shell announced first oil from the Gumusut-Kakap platform off the coast of Malaysia. With an annual peak oil
production of around 135,000 barrels a day,the platform contributes up to 25% of the country’s oil production.
Sabah Shell Petroleum Company is the operator of the development, which employs Malaysia’s first deep -water semi-submersible
production system.
The field comprises 19 subsea wells, with oil exported via a 200-km long pipeline to an oil and gas terminal in Kimanis, Sabah.
In 2008, development drilling began in the Gumusut-Kakap field. Early production started at the field in November, 2012.
This was ahead of engineers completing the floating production system(FPS) by linking Gumusut-Kakap’s production wells to the
Kikeh production facility, the country’s first deep-water development, operated by Murphy Sabah Oil.
This early production was an interim measure to bring 25,000 barrels a day on stream ahead of completing the FPS.
The project has allowed Shell to share deep-water expertise with Malaysian energy companies, assisting in the Malaysian
government’s goal to create an offshore industry hub.The platform was built in Malaysia by Malaysian Marine and Heavy
Engineering Sdn Bhd (MMHE).
Technology
The project uses Shell Smart Fields technology to carefully control production from the undersea wells to achieve greater
efficiency.
Natural gas that is produced along with the oil will be re-injected into the reservoir to help improve oil recovery. With oil
production now under way, work on the gas facilities is continuing with an expected start-up during 2015.
The project safely completed a record-breaking 23,000-tonne superlift in March 2012, by raising the platform’s topsides 45 metres
(nearly 150 feet) above ground while the 17,500-tonne hull was moved underneath them.
The combined weight of the production systemis equivalent to 30,000 average-sized family cars.
Environment and society
In Malaysia, Shell continues to run major social investment programmes focused on capacity building, environmental conservation
and community development.
Located off the coast of Sabah, the Gumusut-Kakap development area is particularly rich in yellow-fin tuna.
Shell and the Sabah Department of Fisheries are working togetheron a project to enhance fishing stocks in alternative areas for
local fishermen.
Shell is also leading and supporting activities to promote environmental awareness in Sarawak and Sabah; for example, through the
SERASI (environmentally friendly schoolcompetition) and Nature Education Camp programmes for schools.
Shell also supports research and environmental conservation efforts in Sabah’s pristine areas in Danum Valley and Maliau
Basin.Other programmes focus on young people and education.
Shell funds hundreds ofMalaysian university students every yearthrough its scholarship programme. It also supports a programme
togetherwith the Sarawak Education Department that trains welders, helping to meet industry shortfalls for this skill pool.
Scope of Work:
The project consists ofthe engineering/design,procurement, fabrication, construction,installation, and commissioning and start-up
of the following elements, depicted in figure below:
1. 19 wells that will be used to develop 22 subsurface targets completion drilled from four drill centers, and petroleum
engineering requirements to support this effort. Development will be staged with 14 wells, plus 3 pilot wells in Phase I and IV
infill wells in Phase II.
2. A semi-submersible floating production system(FPS) with full processing production facilities located on a deck supported by
a hull. Accommodation, including heli-deck, topsides,marine systemutilities, life saving and fire fighting facilities are
provided on the semi-FPS.
3. A subsea systembased on drill center approach that incorporates the production,water injection, and gas in jection systems.
Dual production flowlines run to each of three drill centers.Single water injection flowlines run to these same three drill
centers.A single gas injection flowline runs to fourth drill centre. Manifolds are located at each drill centre to allow
incorporation of the wells. Umbilical services are provided at each drill centre.
4. An 18” Oil Export Pipeline with a length of approx. 125 miles (201KM), originating at the semi-FPS Host and terminating at
the new onshore SOGT. The pipeline and the terminal will be owned by PCSB, however, the pipeline will be designed,
constructed,and operated by SSPC for and on behalf of PCSB.
