Santos reports finding oil offshore Malaysia
Malaysia “While there is still a lot of work to be done in determining recoverable volumes, this is a large structural closure potentially capable of supporting significant column heights,” The Sydney Morning Herald reported Santos vice president John Anderson as saying.
The development, located in block R offshore East Malaysia, is a partnership between Japanese petroleum company JX Nippon (operator), Malaysian national oil company Petronas, Japanese exploration company Inpex and Santos.
Block R is situated in a region of previously discovered large oilfields, such as the Kikeh field run by US oil and gas firm Murphy Oil and Shell’s Gumusut-Kakap field.
