Petronas senior vice president of Malaysia Petroleum Management Mohamed Firouz Asnan said: “The Dokong-1 exploration well is one of several recent successes in Malaysia’s exploration activities."
KUALA LUMPUR: Petroliam Nasional Bhd found a gas from the Dokong-1 wildcat exploration well in Block SK417 production sharing contract (PSC), located in the shallow waters of Baram Province.
In a statement issued through Bernama on Wednesday, the national oil company said the well was about 90km off the coast of Sarawak.
The Dokong-1 wildcat exploration well was successfully drilled to a total depth of 3,810 metres in mid-January 2021.
The discovery of a gas column measuring more than 80 metres in the Middle to Late Miocene Cycle VI-VII reservoirs further validates the potential of the remaining prospects in Baram Province.
