Development drilling began in January 2008. Early production started at the field in November 2012. This was ahead of engineers completing the floating production system (FPS) by linking Gumusut-Kakap’s production wells to the KiKeh production facility, the country’s first deep-water development,operated by Murphy Sabah Oil. This early production is an interim measure to bring 25,000 barrels a day on stream ahead of completing the FPS. The semi-submersible production facility was secured to the seabed at the Gumusut-Kakap field in June 2013.

Technology - The Gumusut-Kakap field is the first deep-water opportunity for Shell in Malaysia.

YSSE was responsible fabrication and installation piping and installation fibre glass grating in the project. The project had been done in-time and with zero injury. The work has become easier for us as we have gained enough experiences over the years.
