Malaysia: Bunga back in favour - Upstream, May 28

Lundin Oil is aiming to drill additional development wells on its Bunga Kekwa field in block PM-3 in the Malaysian/Vietnam Commercial Arrangement Area (CAA) in an attempt to maximise production and revenues before the second development phase is implemented, writes Amanda Battersby.

The operator is also considering further incremental oil projects to boost phase-one output, which was averaging some 13 000 barrels per day at the end of the first quarter of 1999. Production is via a lightweight platform and a floating production, storage and offloading vessel.
"What the partners will have to do is identify where they can produce liquids without having to produce or re-inject any gas output." A consultant source said.
The planned second phase of the PM3 development was originally due to come onstream in December 2000. It was put on hold because of the oil price crash and the Asian economic crisis.

However, Lundin is now in "close consultation" with partners Petronas Carigali and Petro Vietnam to agree a new time-table for the project. Phase-two production had been envisaged at an initial rate of at least 40.000 bpd and 250 million cubic feet per day of gas.
The block's total proven and probable reserves stood at 380 million barrels of oil equivalents at the beginning of last year, and industry sources said conservative estimates now are above 500 million boe.
