PCSB首席执行官Hasliza Othman和SMJSB首席执行官Dionysia Aloysius Kibat博士签署了该协议，出售Petronas Carigali在沙巴州Samarang生产分成合同(PSC)中50%的非经营性参与权益。
据马来西亚国家石油公司称，该交易目前正在等待监管机构的批准和先决条件的履行。在此之前，PCSB和SMJSB签署了意向书，以记录双方的协议，确认SMJSB参与Samarang PSC项目分成合同。根据该公司的声明，这将被FOA的执行所取代。
此外，该FOA标志着继2021年12月7日马来西亚国家石油公司与沙巴州政府签署的商业合作协议(CCA)之后，PCSB和SMJSB之间的第二次重大发展。
该公司表示，根据该FOA，Petronas Carigali将继续担任Samarang PSC的运营商，SMJSB将作为非运营合作伙伴，此次合作证明了马国油继续致力于实现国内油气行业可持续增长的共同愿望。
位于沙巴海岸约50公里处的Samarang油田，目前日产约3.6万桶油气当量。天然气的日产量为1.34亿标准立方英尺，是哥打基纳巴卢( Kota Kinabalu)和纳闽岛(Labuan)客户供应的一部分。
Petronas Carigali (PCSB), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Malaysia’s state-owned energy giant Petronas, has entered into a farm-out agreement (FOA) for an oil and gas asset off the coast of Sabah with SMJ Sdn Bhd (SMJSB), a company wholly-owned by the Sabah state government.
This deal has been signed by Hasliza Othman, PCSB’s Chief Executive Officer and Dr Dionysia Aloysius Kibat, SMJSB’s Chief Executive Officer for the sale of Petronas Carigali’s 50 per cent of non-operating participating interest in the Samarang production sharing contract (PSC).
According to Petronas, the transaction is currently pending regulatory approvals and fulfilment of conditions precedent. This follows a heads of agreement, which PCSB and SMJSB inked to record the duo’s agreement, confirming SMJSB’s participation in the Samarang PSC. This is superseded by the execution of the FOA, based on the firm’s statement.
Furthermore, the FOA marks the second significant development between PCSB and SMJSB, following the commercial collaboration agreement (CCA) signed between Petronas and the Sabah government on 7 December 2021.
Under the FOA, Petronas Carigali will continue to be the operator of Samarang PSC with SMJSB on board as the non-operating partner and “this collaboration bears testament to Petronas’ continuous commitment to achieving its shared aspiration of sustainable growth for the domestic oil and gas industry,” says the company.
Located approximately 50km off the coast of Sabah, the Samarang field is currently producing approximately 36,000 barrels of oil and gas equivalent per day (kboe/d). The gas, at 134 million standard cubic feet per day (MMscf/d), is part of the supply for customers in Kota Kinabalu and Labuan.
