Total SA has started production from the offshore Badamyar project, 220 km south of Yangon in Myanmar. The project will enable an extension of Yadana gas field’s 8 billion cu m/year production plateau beyond 2020.
The Badamyar project involves the installation of a new wellhead platform connected to the Yadana production facilities and the drilling of 4 horizontal wells to develop Badamyar gas field as a satellite of Yadana. The project also includes a new compression platform. Launched in mid-2014, the project was completed with no lost-time injuries during the 5 million man-hr worked.
Total is the operator of the project with a 31.2% interest. Its partners are Chevron-Unocal 28.3%, PTTEP 25.5%, and MOGE 15%.
