Shell delivers first gas from Timi platform offshore Malaysia
Aug. 28, 2023
Sarawak Shell Berhad, a subsidiary of Shell Plc, says gas production has started at its Timi platform in Malaysia under the SK318 production sharing contract.
LONDON — Sarawak Shell Berhad (SSB), a subsidiary of Shell Plc, says gas production has started at its Timi platform in Malaysia under the SK318 production sharing contract (PSC).
Timi features Shell’s first wellhead platform in Malaysia that is powered by a solar and wind hybrid power system. Shell says this unmanned platform is also more cost efficient, as a result of it being about 60% lighter in weight than a conventional tender-assisted drilling wellhead platform that relies on oil and gas for power.
Timi is designed to produce up to 50,000 boe/d of gas at peak production and will evacuate its gas through a new 80-km pipeline to the F23 production hub. The project supports the future growth in the central Luconia area off the coast of Sarawak.
Timi is located about 252 km northwest of Bintulu, Sarawak, and 202 km northwest of Miri, Sarawak.
Timi is developed as part of the SK318 PSC with SSB as the operator holding 75% equity. The other two partners are PETRONAS Carigali Sdn Bhd (15%) and Brunei Energy Exploration (10%).
