Information on the SK408W Jerun Development Project

This EPCIC contract comprises the construction of an approximately 15,000-metric tonne (MT) topside, 10,000 MT jacket and 5,000 MT piles of Central Processing Platform (CPP). It also includes the design engineering of a 30-inch carbon steel pipeline with a length equivalent to 80 kilometres distance from this CPP to the existing E11R-B platform to commingle with the existing trunkline to PETRONAS Malaysia LNG Plant in Bintulu, Sarawak.

In a statement to Bursa Malaysia, the group said that upon completion, the facilities will be installed in Jerun gas field, which lies in the SK408W Block located offshore Bintulu, Sarawak. SapuraOMV Upstream (Sarawak) Inc. is the Operator of SK408W Block, with Sarawak Shell Berhad and PETRONAS Carigali Sdn. Bhd. holding 30% equity interest, each.

Encik Pandai Othman, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of MHB said, “We are truly honoured to have been entrusted with such a significant project by SapuraOMV Upstream (Sarawak) Inc. and partners. This is indeed an acknowledgment of our technical competencies and commercial competitiveness in this industry and demonstrates MHB’s capability in providing integrated and value-added solutions. Backed by our skilled, experienced and passionate workforce, we are fully committed to deliver this project safely, timely and meeting the stringent quality requirements of the Client.”

“As I have mentioned before, the industry is now getting back on an upturn after the slowdown in 2020 due to the low oil price and COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in CAPEX cutback by oil and gas giants due to the uncertainties in the industry. 2021 has been coined as our recovery year and what a better way to start it other than with a major EPCIC project like Jerun.”

“With this being our first project with SapuraOMV, we hope this marks the beginning of a long-lasting business relationship and mutual support between the two companies.” he added.
