Exxon Starts Gas Production from Malaysian Field

ExxonMobil Exploration and Production Malaysia Inc, a subsidiary of Exxon Mobil Corp, has started natural gas production from the Telok field offshore Malaysia in the South China Sea.

Telok A platform marked the first phase of the Telok gas development project under a gas production sharing contract between ExxonMobil as the operator and Petronas Carigali Sdn Bhd (PCSB), Bernama said citing a company statement. The two companies each hold a 50 per cent interest in the project.

ExxonMobil Exploration and Production Malaysia Inc Chairman, J Hunter Farris said building on experience from ExxonMobil’s previous satellite fields development projects in Malaysia, the development concept of “design one, build many”, was utilised to efficiently develop it and shorten construction and installation timelines, Bernama reported.
