Malaysia at a Glance
On 31 March 2018, SEA Hibiscus Sdn Bhd (SEA Hibiscus) successfully assumed the role of operator of the North Sabah PSC from Shell. As operator, SEA Hibiscus is responsible for the day-to-day operations, maintenance and conduct of production enhancement activities carried out on the asset.
The North Sabah PSC is our second producing asset, providing us with a further revenue stream after the Anasuria Cluster. It has enabled us to strengthen our technical and operating capabilities, profitability and balance sheet.
Through execution of production enhancement projects since acquisition, we have been realising the considerable potential within the fields of the North Sabah PSC.
On 24 January 2022 we completed the acquisition and transfer of operatorship in three PSCs: Kinabalu Oil, PM305 and PM314. Together with the PM3 CAA acquired in the same transaction, these assets have brought about a step change to our production.
