BSP Announces New Gas Discovery

, ,

Bandar Seri Begawan - Brunei Shell Petroleum Company Sdn Bhd (BSP) yesterday announced the discovery of gas in the Bubut structure.

The Bubut structure is located just 7 km from the shoreline and only 15 km from the Brunei LNG (BLNG) plant.

According to BSP, well logs that were run and hydrocarbon samples taken have confirmed the latest gas findings. The exploration well was drilled by the Deep Driller 2 rig in deep, high-pressure sand reservoirs.

As a result of the Bubut discovery, a re-evaluation of the nearby Danau structure, which was drilled in the 1970s will also be implemented. The additional appraisal work will be conducted in both fields to define the full potential.

A development team has been put in-place to prepare an integrated field development proposal for early production directly into the BLNG plant.

The Bubut discovery is considered important in that the Bubut-Danau area as it may very well emerge as a third offshore gas production hub for BSP, supplementing the existing Ampa and Champion gas fields.

Dr Grahaeme Henderson, Managing Director of BSP commenting on the new find said that the latest gas discovery is important to fulfilling the LNG contract.

"You can see the BLNG plant from the exploration rig; the discovery is in shallow waters and close to existing infrastructure and, as such, we are confident of bringing production onstream in the shorter term."

Dr Grahaeme Henderson added, "A critical contribution towards the Bubut success has been the close working between the many teams in BSP, including exploration, drilling and development. Another key contributing factor is the wide-scale programme the company has undertaken to improve overall business performance in the last 18 months".

This programme said the Managing Director addressed all areas that impact BSP bottom-line and has produced overall excellent results and it includes increasing the uptime of drilling rigs, which was also of benefit to this discovery.

BSP is one of the leading oil and gas companies in Asia and has already established an international reputation as a centre of technological excellence in the usage of snake wells, fishhook wells and smart fields.

Last year BSP announced that it has completed its longest snake well in the Champion West Phase 3A field, located some 90 kilometres offshore.

The Snake Well design was created in 2001 by BSP to improve reservoir access and deliverability.

Brunei has also emerged in the global front as one of the leaders in smart field technology after BSP successfully installed one of the world's advanced smart field platforms, the Champion West in 70 m of water off the coast of Brunei.

The company's unmanned Champion West platform is one of the world's most sophisticated and technologically advanced offshore facilities.

Engineers in BSP’s Head Office are able to monitor and improve the performance of the offshore well and facilities through a computer controlled system on the platform that allows remote well testing. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
