Shell plc’s subsidiary, Sabah Shell Petroleum Company Ltd (SSPC), has achieved the first oil production from Phase 4 of the Gumusut-Kakap-Geronggong-Jagus East (GKGJE) deepwater offshore development project.
The Phase 4 production is flowing to the existing GK Semi-submersible Floating Production System located off the coast of Sabah, offshore Malaysia where SSPC is the operator.
The GKGJE Phase 4 development includes a subsea tie-back that straddles the Malaysia-Brunei border and involves the drilling of three producer wells and one water injection well.
Located in water depths of 1,200m, Gumusut-Kakap was the first deepwater project for Shell in Malaysia and began production in 2014.
GKGJE Phase 4 contributes towards Shell’s global commitment to bring onstream new upstream projects between 2023 and 2025, that will together deliver an additional 500,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day at peak production.
