Malaysia: Petronas Starts Production from Berantai Field

PETRONAS announced that natural gas production from the Berantai Field was successfully brought on stream on 20 October 2012.

The gas is currently being exported at a rate of 50 mmscfd from the field’s first three wells and is expected to achieve 80 mmscfd with the addition of two wells by end of this year. The gas is processed at the Berantai FPSO and exported to the existing onshore terminal at Kerteh.
