• FID Year: The Final Investment Decision (FID) was taken in 2021.
• Production Start Year: Gas production began in 2024, as expected.

Production and Reserves

• Production Capacity:
  • The platform is designed to produce up to 550 million cubic feet per day (MMcf/d) of gas and 15,000 barrels per day (bbl/d) of condensate during peak production.
  • Production design capacity includes 0.36 million barrels per year (bbl/y) of crude oil and condensate, and 5,167.78 million cubic meters per year (m³/y) of gas by 2030.
• Reserves:
  • Remaining recoverable reserves include 58.78 million barrels of crude oil and condensate, and 59,650.57 million cubic meters of gas as of 2022.
  • Estimated hydrocarbon resources are approximately 66 million barrels of oil equivalent (boe) as of 2023.

Infrastructure

• Central Processing Platform (CPP): The CPP was built by Malaysia Marine and Heavy Engineering (MMHE), with a topside weight of approximately 15,000 metric tonnes, a jacket weight of 10,000 metric tonnes, and piles weighing 5,000 metric tonnes.
• Pipeline: An 80-km-long pipeline connects the CPP to the existing E11R-B platform and onward to the Petronas Malaysia LNG Plant in Bintulu, Sarawak.
