PETRONAS started oil production from the Tanjong Baram field, offshore Sarawak Malaysia.
The field, which is estimated to produce an average of 2000 b/d, consists of a platform with production tied into the West Lutong Drilling Platform A (WLDP-A) complex via a flexible production pipeline.
The field is operated under a risk service contract (RSC) with EnQuest Petroleum Development Malaysia as its operator in partnership with Uzma Energy (Sarawak).
Tanjong Baram is the fifth RSC that has achieved oil production after Berantai, Balai, Kapal Banang Meranti (KBM) and Tembikai.
