PTTEP finds more gas at Lang Lebah offshore Sarawak

PTTEP has confirmed its largest-ever gas discovery with the Lang Lebah-2 appraisal well on the SK410B block offshore Sarawak, Malaysia.

The company discovered gas with the Lang Lebah-1RDR2 exploration well in 2019.

The appraisal well was completed in mid-January 2021. It was drilled to a total depth of 4,320 metres (14,713 feet) and proved more than 600 metres (1,968 feet) of net gas pay, indicating a larger reservoir than the initial estimate.

The well test showed a flow rate of 50 MMcf/d. The result will accelerate the development plan for the project, the company said.

SK410B is about 90 km (56 miles) offshore Sarawak. PTTEP’s Malaysian subsidiary PTTEP HKO is the operator with 42.5% participating interest. KUFPEC Malaysia (SK-410B) Ltd holds 42.5% and Petronas Carigali Sdn Bhd holds 15%.
