HOUSTON, Aug. 10 -- Shell Malaysia said it delivered natural gas from E8 field off Sarawak, Malaysia. Production started July 24 and is stabilizing toward a target flow of 600 MMscfd.
Sarawak Shell Bhd. operates E8, a key component of the E11 Hub Integrated Gas project operated by Shell Malaysia. Production from surrounding fields goes to the E11 complex for processing before being delivered onshore via pipeline to the Petronas LNG complex at Bintulu.
One of five fields developed to ensure supply to the LNG complex, E8 made the E11 complex the biggest gas production facility in terms of volume in Sarawak waters. The other four fields are E11, F23, F6, and F13. The other E11 satellite gas field developments, F13 West and F13 East, are expected to come on stream within 3 years.
Shell Malaysia and Petronas each have a 50% interest in the E11 Hub Integrated Gas Project.
