Hibiscus Petroleum 的子公司 Hibiscus Oil & Gas Malaysia Limited (HML) 成功完成了马来西亚近海 Bunga Aster-1 勘探井的钻探工作。该井遇到了约 17.5 m 的含油砂岩，潜在油柱长达 46 m。在伐木活动期间收集了多个石油样本。

初步评估表明储层特征良好。这是继2023年发现Bunga Lavatera之后12个月内的第二个重大发现。

首次石油生产预计将于 2024 年 5 月开始。鉴于这一积极结果，HML 将对该发现进行彻底评估和评估，以进一步确定该发现的规模。

Hibiscus Oil & Gas Malaysia Limited (HML), a subsidiary of Hibiscus Petroleum, successfully completed the drilling of the Bunga Aster-1 exploration well offshore Malaysia. The well encountered approximately 17.5 m of oil-bearing sandstone with up to 46 m of potential oil column. Multiple oil samples were collected during the logging campaign.

Initial assessments indicate good reservoir characteristics. This marks the second significant discovery within 12 months, following the discovery of Bunga Lavatera in 2023.

First oil production is expected to commence in May 2024. In light of this positive result, HML will progress with a thorough evaluation and appraisal of the discovery to further define the size of the discovery.
