Sarawak Shell Bhd(SSB), a subsidiary of Royal Dutch Shell plc, has taken a final investment decision on the Timi gas development project and, together with its partners PETRONAS Carigali Sdn Bhd and Brunei Energy Exploration, look forward to delivering this for Malaysia.
“(We) look forward to delivering the project for Malaysia,” the group says in a statement.
Shell upstream director Wael Sawan says Timi demonstrates the group’s capabilities to innovate and deliver safe, reliable, and sustainable projects.
The Timi development features SSB’s first wellhead platform in Malaysia that is powered by a solar and wind hybrid renewable power system.
This unmanned platform is approximately 60% lighter than a conventional Tender Assisted Drilling (TAD) wellhead platform. This project also includes the drilling of two wells.
“Timi demonstrates Shell’s capabilities to innovate and deliver safe, reliable, and sustainable projects, in line with our commitment to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050 in step with society.
“Shell is pleased to be able to progress this project in a competitive and responsible manner, as part of the vital role Upstream plays in delivering Shell’s strategy and in support of economic growth in Malaysia,” says Wael Sawan.
The Timi development is designed to reach up to 50,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boe/d) peak production and will evacuate its gas to the F23 production hub via an 80 km pipeline while supporting the future growth in the central Luconia area, off the coast of Sarawak.
