If my memory is correct, Laila development was a development that wasn't economical to start with. But Shell had the PSC commitment to install that wellhead platform before its PSC contract ended for that particular block. We had a tough time trying to come up with a wellhead platform with the minimal investment as possible and practical.

The plan was Shell would develop and install Laila and hand over the platform to PCSB after commissioned right? Ive always wondered whether PCSB ever have issues operating a platform designed by Shell. I wonder whether the operating manuals were written for PCSB's operating philosophy or Shell's. Hope no confusion on PCSB's part!

So basically got O&G Management degree also no use in O&G industry ? :/
