EnQuest chief executive Amjad Bseisu said: “We are delighted to have been awarded the Block PM409 PSC and to expand our presence in Malaysia.

“The block contains several undeveloped discoveries providing future opportunities for EnQuest to demonstrate its proven capabilities in low-cost drilling and near-field development.”

Situated in water depths of 70m to 100m, Block PM409 measures approximately 1,700km² and is located in a proven hydrocarbon area. It contains several undeveloped discoveries and is contiguous to the Petronas’ existing PM8/Seligi PSC.

The offshore block also provides low-cost tie-back opportunities to Petronas’ existing Seligi main production hub. Within the first four-year exploration term of the contract, the partners plan to conduct drilling of one well.
