July 12 (LNGJ) - Malaysia’s Jerun natural gas field operated Sapura-OMV Upstream has achieved first gas to boost LNG supply prospects at the Bintulu liquefaction plant in Sarawak. UK major Shell has a 30 percent equity stake in the field, through its Malaysian subsidiary.
The field is located about 160 kilometres northwest of the Bintulu LNG plant. “Comprising an integrated central processing platform, Jerun will export gas through a new 80km pipeline into the E11RB production hub, for onward delivery to Bintulu-based customers including Malaysia LNG,” said Shell.
