據OE網站9月26日報道，美國石油公司赫斯（Hess）已開始從位于馬來西亞半島近海290公里的PM302區塊的北馬來盆地（NMB）第三期項目開始生產天然氣。

馬來西亞油氣巨頭馬來西亞國家石油公司周一分享了這一投產消息。

PM302區塊由赫斯公司的子公司赫斯勘探&生產馬來西亞公司運營，其擁有50%的參與權益，與擁有剩余50%股份的Petronas Carigali Sdn Bhd合作。

NMB第三階段項目于2019年獲得批準，是多階段開發的一部分。其中包括安裝新的Bergading-B井口平臺，使PM302區塊的天然氣日供應量增加1億立方英尺，總日產量達到4億立方英尺。

馬來西亞國家石油公司馬來西亞石油管理（MPM）高級副總裁Mohamed Firouz Asnan表示，我們很高興赫斯對馬來西亞整個行業周期的業務有著長遠的眼光，展示了對馬來西亞上游行業的信心。我們繼續共同開發NMB項目，以釋放該區塊的全部潛力。這對雙方都是一個重要的里程碑，因為NMB三期項目是在不斷增長的需求中維持馬來西亞半島天然氣供應的關鍵。

他補充道，PM302區塊各締約方及其服務提供商在應對大流行期間的挑戰方面進行了密切合作，成功完成了這項工作，這反映了馬來西亞上游生態系統的整體恢復能力。

Hess Starts Gas Production from NMB Phase 3 Project Offshore Malaysia

U.S. oil firm Hess has started gas production from the North Malay Basin (NMB) Phase 3 project in Block PM302, located 290 kilometres offshore Peninsular Malaysia.

Malaysian oil and gas giant Petronas shared the news of production startup on Monday.

Block PM302 is operated by Hess Corporation’s subsidiary, Hess Exploration and Production Malaysia B.V. (Hess) with a 50 percent participating interest, in partnership with Petronas Carigali Sdn Bhd, which owns the remaining 50 percent. 

The NMB Phase 3 project was sanctioned in 2019 and is part of a multi-phase development. It includes the installation of the new Bergading-B Wellhead Platform that adds another 100 million cubic feet per day (MMscfd) of gas supply from Block PM302, bringing the total production to 400 MMscfd. 

Petronas Senior Vice President of Malaysia Petroleum Management (MPM), Mohamed Firouz Asnan, said, “We are pleased that Hess has taken a long-term view of the business in Malaysia across industry cycles, demonstrating confidence in Malaysia's upstream industry. Together, we have continued to develop the NMB project to unlock the full potential of the block. This is a major milestone for both partners, as the NMB Phase 3 project is key in sustaining Peninsular Malaysia’s gas supply amid rising demand.” 

“The close collaboration between Block PM302 parties and their service providers in overcoming challenges during the pandemic delivered this successful completion, which reflects the overall resilience of the Malaysian Upstream ecosystem,” he added.
