A refurbished mat-supported jack up MOPU (mobile oil production unit) recently began operating in 63 m of water on the Cendor oil field in block PM304 off Malaysia. Petrofac Malaysia, a unit of Petrofac Ltd. UK, operates the field. Phase 1 of the project includes seven dry-tree well completions on the MOPU that produce oil to a spread-moored FSO (floating storage and offloading) vessel through a flexible subsea pipeline. Richard Hall, vice-president of operations and development for Petrofac's resources division and general manager of Petrofac Malaysia, told OGJ (Oil & Gas Journal) that one fact that made this low-cost development solution possible for this marginal field was the level seabed at Cendor that allowed installation of the mat-supported MOPU. The field currently produces 12,000 bo/d and Petrofac says that the field contains about 24.6 million bbl of recoverable 41.5 deg gravity oil. Petrofac has a 30 % interest in the field. Other interest owners are Petronas Carigali Sdn. Bhd. 30 %, Kufpec (Kuwait Foreign Petroleum Exploration Co.) 25 %, and PIDC (PetroVietnam Investment Development Co.) 15 %. Kufpec is a wholly owned subsidiary of Kuwait National Oil Co. and PIDC is a wholly owned subsidiary of Petro Vietnam.
