PGS Expands Massive Malaysia Sabah MC3D

Phase 4 of the multisensor Sabah MultiClient 3D is underway with Ramform Hyperion. Sabah is one of the largest MultiClient projects worldwide and the first ever in Malaysia.

Acquisition has begun. PGS will acquire up to 10 000 sq.km of GeoStreamer data, adding to the existing 37 000 sq. km multi-phased Sabah MC3D, which is already one of the world’s largest MultiClient acquisition projects.

The Sabah MultiClient 3D lies offshore the northwest of Sabah, Malaysia, within a proven petroleum system with enormous potential. In 2018, a discovery well in the Sabah Trough became a new play opener, yet this is still ranked as one of the least explored basins in the world. The new discovery lies within the footprint of Sabah MC3D.

The uplift in quality provided so far by the multisensor broadband seismic data, in Sabah phases 1-3, has allowed clear delineation of the seismic facies within the complex Miocene-Pliocene fold and thrust belt. The deeper sections below the fold and thrust belt have been clearly imaged for the first time, enabling a better understanding of the basin development and deeper targets.

Across the Sabah Trough and in the area over the Dangerous Grounds the new seismic reveals numerous potential prospects, many with direct hydrocarbon indicators (DHI) similar to that of the recent discovery well.

Phase 4 extends further outboard into the Dangerous Grounds, where more basins can be seen. This new dataset will extend the petroleum exploration playground for oil companies interested in Asia.

The Sabah MC3D sets a new benchmark for high-quality regional datasets that will not only improve understanding of the regional petroleum systems but also allow prospect scale AVO analysis of prospects and leads within the entire offshore Sabah Basin.

Kontrakten er tildelt under den nylig inngåtte treårige rammeavtalen mellom partene. Kontraktsperioden er for 12 måneder med umiddelbar oppstart, med mulighet for forlengelse utover den fastsatte perioden.

Kontrakter til REM, til Rem Mira, Rem Cetus og Rem Isula, samt båtane som snart vil få namnet Rem Trader (tidl. Brage Trader) og Rem Inspector (tidl. Forland Inspector),Kontraktsverdien er på over 200 millioner NOK.
 
Kontraktsrush for Rem Offshore

Har sikret langsiktig arbeid til fem båter: - Skaper et solid grunnlag for vekst.

- Verdien av disse kontraktene gir et betydelig bidrag til Rem Offshores inntjeningsvisibilitet og skaper et solid grunnlag for videre vekst, sier konsernsjef Fredrik Remøy i en kommentar.

Det Fosnavåg-baserte offshorerederiet har på kort tid signert fem periodekontrakter med en total kontraktsverdi på mer enn 200 millioner kroner.
Det dreier seg om plattform forsyningsskipene (PSV) «Rem Mira», «Rem Cetus», «Rem Insula», «Rem Trader» - tidligere «Brage Trader» - og subseaskipet «Rem Inspector» - tidligere «Forland Inspector».

- Disse tildelingene viser også vår organisasjons talent for å skape verdier i det som fortsatt er et utfordrende marked, sier Remøy.
I tillegg eier rederiet ytterligere to PSV-er, ett subseaskip og ett seismikkfartøy som alle er beskjeftiget på betydelige kontrakter.

«Nye» Rem Offshore ble etablert av Åge Remøy og hans to forretningspartnere Magnus Roth og Thorstein Mar Baldvinsson i 2016.

Med en krigskasse på 500 millioner kroner var planen å investere i kriserammede offshorerederier, og dermed bygge opp et helt nytt rederi etter at Remøy måtte gi fra seg kontrollen i «gamle» Rem Offshore til Kjell Inge Røkke og Solstad Offshore.

Med fullbooket flåte og stadig nye investeringer, går det foreløpig vesentlig bedre for nyvinningen enn «gamle Rem» som nå er en del av kriserammede Solstad Offshore.
