- 继 2023 年 Bunga Lavatera 后，PM3 CAA PSC 连续第二次勘探发现
- Bunga Aster-1 遇到了约 17.5 米的含油砂岩。油柱可达 46 米的潜力
- 预计将于 2024 年 5 月首次生产石油

Hibiscus Petroleum Berhad（HIBI：MK）（“ibiscus Petroleum”）谨宣布其全资子公司 Hibiscus Oil & Gas Malaysia Limited ML公司作为PM3商业安排区生产分成合同（“M3 CAA PSC”）的运营商，已成功完成Bunga Aster-1探井的钻探。 Bunga Aster-1 井遇到了约 17.5 米的含油砂岩，潜在油柱长达 46 米。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 后 12 个月内的第二个重大发现。

从现有 Bunga Orkid-D 平台钻探该井的决定成功地实现了这一发现的快速货币化。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。 Bunga Aster 的发现将为 PM3 CAA PSC 增加额外的储量和石油产量，从而延长 PSC 的经济寿命。

该公司计划在未来三年内，在马来西亚石油管理公司、国家石油公司（PETRONAS）的管理下，与各利益相关者合作，继续探索 PM3 CAA PSC 的其他近场前景。

- Second consecutive exploration discovery made in PM3 CAA PSC, after Bunga Lavatera in 2023
- Bunga Aster-1 encountered approximately 17.5 metres of oil-bearing sandstone. Potential for up to 46 meters of oil column
- First oil production expected in May 2024

Hibiscus Petroleum Berhad (HIBI: MK) (“Hibiscus Petroleum”) would like to announce that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Hibiscus Oil & Gas Malaysia Limited (“HML”), as the operator of the PM3 Commercial Arrangement Area Production Sharing Contract (“PM3 CAA PSC”), has successfully completed the drilling of the Bunga Aster-1 exploration well. The Bunga Aster-1 well encountered approximately 17.5 meters of oilbearing sandstone with up to 46 metres 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 a 12-month period, following the discovery of Bunga Lavatera in 2023.

The decision to drill the well from the existing Bunga Orkid-D platform has successfully enabled quick monetisation of this discovery. 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. The Bunga Aster discovery will add additional reserves and oil production to the PM3 CAA PSC, thereby extending the economic life of the PSC.

The Company has plans to continue exploring other near-field prospects in the PM3 CAA PSC in the next three years, working together with various stakeholders, under the stewardship of Malaysia Petroleum Management, Petroliam Nasional Berhad (PETRONAS).
