The contract follows Petronas’ recent agreement with Vestigo Petroleum, through Malaysia Petroleum Management, for a production sharing contract in the NBE Cluster off the coast of Sabah.  

This predominantly gas discovery cluster is comparable with the mature Samarang field, known for its production capabilities. 

In May this year, Petronas Suriname E&P, a subsidiary of the company, made a hydrocarbon discovery at the Fusaea-1 well within Suriname’s offshore block 52. 

Block 52, covering an area of 4,749km², is part of the Suriname-Guyana basin and is jointly operated by Petronas and ExxonMobil, each holding a 50% interest.
