Marine Contracting announces successful Cendor MOPU move
Marine Contracting announced the successful move of the Cendor Mobile Offshore Production Unit (MOPU) from the Cendor field, offshore Malaysia to Batam, Indonesia for upgrade work en route to its destination in the Wassana field in the Gulf of Thailand.
The successful towing by Marine Contracting was carried out on behalf of the Cendor MOPU’s owner Kris Energy. The MOPU will go into dry dock for minor refurbishments prior to being positioned on the Wassana field in the Gulf of Thailand G10/G48 license, where production is expected to start in late 2015.
Commenting on the contract award, Said Wolfgang Wandl, Marine Contracting’s CEO, said: “We are delighted to have completed the first leg of this highly complex operation that involves one of South East Asia’s most high profile offshore installations. The success is down to the technical expertise and professionalism of the Marine Contracting team.
The Cendor MOPU is a drilling jack-up rig that has gross tonnage of 4655 t and contains a deck area capable of holding two separators as well as a production test unit.
The MOPU, which has the capacity to inject up to 25 000 bpd of seawater into the reservoir, had until now been in continuous operation on the Cendor field for operator Petrofac and which to date has produced in excess of 27 million bbls of premium crude.
Kris Energy is a leading independent E&P operator in South East Asia and holds interests in 14 licenses in South-East Asia, covering a gross acreage of more than 63 000 km2. The Kris Energy portfolio contains three offshore producing assets, the Kambuna gas-condensate field in Indonesia, and oil and gas blocks in the Gulf of Thailand.
