The project has been executed with the vessel “Normand Baltic”.
DCN Diving was contracted by Technip for the DSV Supply, Flexi-Lay and I-Tube & Clamp installation in the field. DCN succesfully completed the survey, diving (both saturation and surface supplied) and ROV activities in the Samarang field in 2017.
The Samarang field is located offshore Sabah about 47km north-west of Labuan. It was discovered in 1972 and the oil production from the field started in 1975.
Due to the ageing infrastructure and declining production, the Samarang field was forecasted to become uneconomic within 2017 if no further development effort is undertaken. Therefore, additional steps were necessary to extend the field life, while facilitating a more favorable reservoir management strategy.
The Samarang Redevelopment Project – Phase 2 EOR increased the reserve by 25.5 MMSTB by the end of 2035. The recovery factor after the implementation is expected to be more than 51%.
