Oil & Gas News Flash  Overweight Flows As Strong As Expected

1.  It was reported that Exxon is looking to award the conceptual studies contracts

within weeks for its Guntong Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) exercise. The contact

involves maturing of the concept for a Water-Alternate-Gas (WAG) EOR and will

also include brownfield studies on the modification and tie-in to existing

production facilities. The proposed development requires a new gas compression

or utilities platform with processing capacity for 190m cubic feet per day and will

be bridge-linked to the existing Guntong A central processing platform as well as

modification and additional facilities at the Guntong A, B and C wellhead

platforms. The WAG EOR development is targeted for start-up by 1Q2017.

Comments. This development is a follow-up from Exxon’s USD2.1bn EOR

investment commitment signed with Petronas last year for 7 fields ie. Tapis, Seligi,

Guntong, Semangkok, Irong Barat, Tabu and Palas. MMHE (Sell TP: RM4.76) had in

November 2011 secured the turnkey contract for two offshore platforms worth

RM1.2bn for Tapis’ WAG EOR and the facilities are expected to achieve production

start-up in 2013. We are encouraged by this latest development and expect to see

subsequent roll-out for the other 5 fields in a foreseeable future. Price tag for the

proposed new gas platform is likely to be lower than the one bagged by MMHE as

it has a smaller handling capacity than the 360m cubic feet per day for Tapis’

platform. With Petronas reportedly targeting at least 5 of the 6 fields i.e Tapis,

Guntong, Dulang, Bokor, Samarang and Temana fields WAG EOR to be on stream

between 2013-15, we are looking at strong activities within the fabrication

segment as all these developments require new central processing platforms

equipped with either or both gas compression and water injection capabilities.

2.  On the development of the world’s first full field vessel based chemical EOR for

Petronas Carigali’s Angsi field which is undergoing a pre -Q exercise, it was

reported that the contract has garnered initial interest from MISC, Bumi Armada,

M3nergy and surprisingly Kencana was reportedly interested as well while

Delcom which is bidding for the similar project for Shell’s St. Joseph field was not

named as one of the potential contenders. There is also a possibility that MMC

Oil & Gas Engineering, Water Standard and Uzma which completed the basic

engineering studies for the project would participate either jointly or separately.

Local players are not alone as the project is open for international players. On

table is a firm 5-year contract to supply a vessel to support the chemical EOR and

will also include FEED as well as EPCC components. Original scheduled start-up is

by 3Q2013, suggesting the vessel is likely to be a converted unit than a new built.

Comments. This development continues to underpin our view on strong domestic

demand for floater solutions. Concurrently, similar tender for Shell’s St. Joseph

field is still running though according to Upstream it may be re-tendered due to

commercial consideration, while we are not able to confirm this development with

market sources, we highlighted the contract was supposedly to be awarded in

April/May with Bumi Armada (Neutral TP: RM4.65) and Delcom in the race.

Whoever the winners for the both contracts, we reckon it will open more doors for

the winner for future involvement as Petronas was reportedly to be interested todeploy the same EOR method to other fields.

On Uzma (Buy TP:RM2.70) which earlier raised RM16m through a private

placement, we are not surprised of their potential involvement as we highlighted

earlier that they are likely to bid for the supply of chemicals which could be worth

about RM500m. As for the status for their RM350m well testing contract from

Petronas secured early this year, first deployment is expected to commence this

month and activities should pick-up, considering Petronas’ aggressive domestic

exploration and development programmes. On its crown jewel, UzmaPres, weunderstand that subsequent 2 units are expected to be installed by 1H12 pending

for the readiness of the targeted platforms to receive the new installations.

Currently the company has already installed 5 units of the cash generating

machine.
