MALAYSIA: It is understood Hess is reviewing its rig options related to a HPHT (high-pressure high-temperature) requirement on the North Malay Basin Full Field Development (FFD)'s Phase 1B drilling campaign, off Peninsular Malaysia.
Currently, Hess has jackup UMW Naga 8 on contract until May 2018, with a one-year option outstanding. It is understood the operator is looking at extending the rig's charter to cover the HPHT campaign. Hess had issued a market survey for a jackup to undertake the project. It has had plans to charter the rig under a two-year contract, commencing between 1 April and 30 June, 2018. The unit will cover a two part work scope, for three deep wells as Part 1, plus two separate campaigns of four and five wells each in Part 2. Hess's requests included a rig with usable leg below hull of 410 ft (125 m), 3,000 hp drawworks, three cranes, cantilever envelope of 15 by 60 ft (4.6 by 18.3 m), three mud pumps as well as accommodation for 150 people.

Petronas Carigali needs jackup for Business of Margin scope

MALAYSIA: Petronas Carigali plans to use the jackup it is seeking through an ongoing market survey for a development concept called Business of Margin (BoM) project offshore Peninsular Malaysia.
The BoM concept involves a development via surface or subsea wellhead in water depths of between 35-75 m (115-248 ft) with measured well depth of up to 3,000 m (9,842 ft), and downhole pressure and temperature of 5,000 psi and below 120 degree C, respectively. The rig for the subsea BoM project will be required to drill and complete, and re-entry for plug-and-abandonment (P&A). Rig utilisation will be short, excluding a four to six-month break between wells, with commencement in first quarter 2019.

The surface BoM scope will require the rig to be on standby for four to six months to support extended well testing for each well plus P&A thereafter. This campaign will occupy the rig for up to two years, including the standby period, commencing third quarter 2018. Both projects will involve the drilling and completing of three wells, known as BoM wells, lasting around 45 days each.

Perisai narrows losses in latest quarter

Its lone drilling unit, jackup Perisai Pacific 101, recorded increased revenue of MYR 4.89 million (USD 1.2 million) to MYR 29 million (USD 7 million) as the rig earned full rate for the quarter - and not the standby rate it was charged for the same period last year after it finished the farm-out contract to Hess.

Petronas Carigali targets accelerating BoM project to 2018

MALAYSIA: Petronas Carigali is looking to bring forward its Business of Margin (BoM) project offshore Malaysai from 2019 to fourth quarter 2018.
The operator has ruled out the subsea wellhead concept and will now just proceed using a surface wellhead. The market survey issued in fourth quarter 2017 had originally considered development using a jackup via both options in water depths of between 35-75 m (115-248 ft) with measured well depth of up to 3,000 m (9,842 ft). Petronas Carigali is looking to drill a minimum of three BoM wells. The exact duration is currently uncertain as it will depend on the well results. In the earlier survey, it was specified that the surface BoM scope will require the rig to be on standby for four to six months to support extended well testing for each well plus P&A thereafter. However, depending on the final well number and schedule, it is possible the campaign may entail no standby period. The operator will probably issue a formal tender within the next few months.

Good, more activities ahead...

Yup, that not suprise. Only companies with good reputation, good connections, good financial that can deliver the projects safely and successfully will survive.

Too many companies in Malaysia that supplying same services and products. Too many.

Same where I am now, we seen many M&A, assets scrapped or decommissioned and also many gone bankruptcy.

Overall, it is good for supply and demand but will be not good for some unfortunate people.

That's good news for them and industry. Use the bonus wisely.

Bro, with the activities picked up, no chance to move up to DD? Or maybe can try joining operator (with good connection of course).

Which project are you working on now abgkik? Fpso/fso?

Good work abgkik. Definitely will go there.

By looking the jobstreets, there are lot of openings;
