據1月16日Rigzone消息：泰國PTT勘探和生產公司(PTTEP)延長了FPSO Kikeh的租賃合同，該FPSO目前正在馬來西亞沙巴州附近作業。

馬來西亞國際航運公司(MISC)表示，馬來西亞深水浮式碼頭(Kikeh)有限公司(MDFT)確保了此次擴建。

MDFT是MISC和SBM Holdings的合資公司。兩家公司分別持有51%和49%的股權。

MISC表示，這艘船的租賃期限為6年，從2022年1月至2028年1月。

FPSO Kikeh位于馬來西亞沙巴近海的同名油田。FPSO建于1974年并于2007年改建，是馬來西亞和亞洲第一座也是最大的深水FPSO。FPSO每天可生產12萬桶石油，儲油能力為200萬桶。

Kikeh油氣田也是馬來西亞第一個深水開發項目。FPSO由從Spar干樹裝置鉆出的井供給。

Kikeh擁有超過4億到7億桶的可采儲量。該油田于2007年8月首次產出石油，日產量增加12萬桶。計劃的資本開支預計約為14億元。

Murphy Oil十多年來一直是該油田的運營商，但在2019年被PTTEP收購，作為價值約21億美元的更大交易的一部分。

除了Kikeh，PTTEP收購了Murphy的整個馬來西亞業務，包括5個石油勘探和生產項目：沙巴K項目、SK309和SK311項目、沙巴H項目、SK314A項目和SK405B項目。

在相關公司新聞中，PTTEP和合作伙伴馬來西亞國家石油公司最近在SK417區塊的Nangka-1探井中發現了第二處天然氣，該探井位于沙撈越海岸附近的淺水水域。

Largest Asian Deepwater FPSO Gets 6-Year Extension

Thailand's PTT Exploration & Production (PTTEP) has extended a charter contract for the FPSO Kikeh, which is operating off Sabah, Malaysia.

Malaysia International Shipping Corporation Berhad or MISC Berhad said that the extension was secured by the Malaysian Deepwater Floating Terminal (Kikeh) Limited (MDFT).

MDFT is a joint venture company between MISC and SBM Holdings. The two companies hold 51 and 49 percent of the equity, respectively.

According to MISC, the charter extension for the vessel is for six years, beginning in January 2022 until January 2028.

FPSO Kikeh is located in its namesake field, offshore Sabah, Malaysia. Built in 1974 and converted in 2007, the FPSO is the first and largest deepwater FPSO in Malaysia and Asia as well. The FPSO can produce 120,000 barrels of oil per day and has a storage capacity of two million oil barrels.

The Kikeh oil and gas field was also the first deepwater development in Malaysia. The FPSO is fed by wells drilled from a Spar dry tree unit.

Kikeh has a recoverable reserve base of over 400 to 700 million barrels of oil. The first oil from the field was achieved in August 2007 with a production ramp-up of 120,000 bpd. Project capital expenditures were projected at around $1.4 billion.

Murphy Oil was the operator of the field for over a decade but was taken over by PTTEP in 2019 as part of a larger transaction worth about $2.1 billion.

Apart from Kikeh, PTTEP acquired Murphy’s entire Malaysian business which included five petroleum exploration and production projects – the Sabah K project, the SK309 & SK311 project, the Sabah H project, the SK314A project, and the SK405B project.

In related company news, PTTEP and partner Petronas recently made a second gas discovery in Block SK417 from the Nangka-1 exploration well, located in shallow waters off the coast of Sarawak.
