BANGKOK, Thailand – PTTEP’s focus this year will be on preparing newly acquired projects offshore Thailand, notably the G1/61 concession containing the Erawan field and G2/61 (Bongkot), to be ready to deliver petroleum as stipulated in the profit-sharing contracts.
Work will include planning the drilling campaign, construction of new production platforms and gas pipelines, and other related activities.
For the Erawan field transition in 2022, PTTEP is working with current concessionaire Chevron and Thailand’s Department of Mineral Fuels to ensure continuity of operations.
Elsewhere PTTEP plans to step up exploration activities in promising offshore areas including the Myanmar MD-7 project and the Lang Lebah-1RDR2 exploration well in Malaysia’s Sarawak block SK410B, where the company made the biggest gas discovery in its history.
Also on the agenda are nearby exploration projects in Malaysia where PTTEP will seek opportunities for cluster developments.
