Partners in the joint venture include Australian company Octanex NL, Scomi Energy Services and Petronas subsidiary Vestigo Petroleum.

"The revised project plan enhances the economic potential of the Ophir development, reflecting the reduced costs offered by the current low oil price environment."

The company plans to develop the Ophir oilfield through three production wells, a well head platform (WHP), as well as leased floating production storage and offload (FPSO) vessel.

Octanex said its share of the Ophir project is funded completely through OPSB’s project financing of 75% and its strategic alliance and funding arrangements with Malaysia’s Sabah International Petroleum (SIP).

SIP is wholly owned by Sabah Development Bank Berhad (SDB).
