Description
- The initial development concept for NMB targeted nine stranded gas fields – Bergading, Bunga Dahlia, Teratai, Gajah, Melati, Kamelia, Zetung, Anggerik and Kesumba through the deployment of a floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel. Later in 2018, a tenth field was identified, Bunga Kangsar.
- A 300-kilometers offshore pipeline connects production to the Terengganu Gas Terminal (TGAST) plant
- The early production system (EPS) included just the Kamelia field and used a wellhead platform and the leased floating production, storage and offloading vessel Perisai Kamelia FPSO
- Phase 1 of the Field Development Plan (FDP) included the Bergading central processing platform (CPP) that bridge-linked to Bergading A wellhead platform, and three additional wellhead platforms – the Bergading C, Bergading D and Kesumba platforms.
- Phase 2 of the Field Development Plan (FDP) developed the Zetung and Anggerik fields with nine production wells and the construction, transport and installation of two three-legged remote wellhead platforms, as well as the pipelines that serves them, with gas flowing to the CPP.
- The NMB Phase 3 project includes the installation of the new Bergading-B Wellhead Platform that adds another 100 million cubic feet per day (MMscfd) of gas supply from Block PM302, bringing the total production to 400 MMscfd.
