    This document provides an overview of Shell's deepwater developments in Malaysia. It discusses Shell's Gumusut-Kakap development, the first semi-floating production system in the region, located 1200 meters underwater off the coast of Sabah, Malaysia. It also discusses the Malikai development, located 120 km offshore Sabah in water depths up to 470 meters, which will utilize a wellhead dry tree unit and be tied back to the planned Kebabangan Integrated Oil and Gas facility. The document notes that developing opportunities in deepwater presents unique challenges for Malaysia, such as complicated seabed terrain, shallow hazards, long tieback distances, and the need for technologies to develop thin reservoirs and handle waxy crudes

    • Most fields require 2 - 4 drill centers


    • 25 - 50 km tieback distances
    with a high well count to develop

    • Need to reduce number of drill • Flow assurance with waxy


    centres through ERD capability, or crudes
    low cost wells • Need for subsea separation and
    boosting technologies

    Floating Systems:
    • TLP vs. SPAR
    • Anchoring and
    foundation
    • .…
    The Deepwater game is challenging
    z Development Opportunities are more challenging…low hanging fruit
    have been largely picked…water is deeper and/or reservoirs are more
    complex…small and/or sub-economic accumulations.. Ultra-deep water
    and remote locations…viscous oil, low energy drive and lift .
    z Capex/Risk exposures are large…cost exposure in the billions
    $$$…high cost drilling & infrastructure..risks are not completely
    mitigated.
    z Pressure to shorten schedule and reduce cost continues…longer cycle
    times…standardization/simplicity, technology development vs rapid
    deployment.
    z Lack of local logistics/service industry… project Delivery is affected.
    z Competent/skilled staffing shortages exist across the
    industry…demand still exceeds supply and building local capability
    can be difficult.
