这一成就是过去几年加强勘探计划的结果，该计划钻探了 25 口井；这是自2015年以来单年钻探井数量最多的一次。

超过一半的发现是在砂拉越盆地发现的，主要集中在巴林吉安和西卢科尼亚地质省内的两个集群中。其中著名的发现包括马来西亚国家石油公司 (PETRONAS Carigali) 的 Gedombak-1、Sinsing-1、Machinchang-1 和 Mirdanga-1，以及泰国 PTTEP 的 Babadon-1 和 Chenda-1。

西北沙巴盆地有三项发现。PETRONAS Carigali 的 Layang-Layang-1 以及 PTTEP 的 Hikmat-1 和 Dermawan-1 证明了一个有效的石油系统，为超深水和深水区域带来了新的机遇。另一项钻探活动正在沙巴海岸附近浅水区的同一已探明盆地内进行。

在马来盆地内还发现了另外两个发现。马来西亚 Hibiscus Oil & Gas Malaysia 在 PM3 中心附近的 Bunga Lavatera-1 井发现了天然气，并于同年将其投入生产，流量约为每天 50 毫米标准立方英尺。PTTEP 在 Simpoh Beludu-1 中发现了石油和天然气，这些石油和天然气已渗透到更深的 K 组砂中充满碳氢化合物的储层。

PETRONAS 马来西亚石油管理 (MPM) 高级副总裁 Mohamed Firouz Asnan 表示：“这一重大勘探成功证实了我们的信念，即利用新的 3D 地震数据和最新的地震数据，所谓的成熟马来西亚盆地内存在更大的潜力。”软件技术可以更好地探测更深层次的碳氢化合物潜力。”

“全力支持我们的合作伙伴采用新的勘探战略，重点关注近场潜力，这将使发现更快地货币化。这对于满足马来西亚乃至该地区国家不断增长的能源需求至关重要。MPM 将于明年初启动下一轮马来西亚投标，为潜在投资者提供更多勘探区块和已发现资源的机会。生产州和联邦政府的大力支持对于该国资源基础增长的成功至关重要，”他补充道。

This achievement was the result of an intensified exploration programme pursued in the last few years, which saw the drilling of 25 wells; the highest number of exploration wells drilled in a single year since 2015.

More than half of the discoveries were made in the Sarawak Basin, primarily in two clusters within the Balingian and West Luconia geological provinces. Among the notable discoveries are Gedombak-1, Sinsing-1, Machinchang-1 and Mirdanga-1 by PETRONAS Carigali Sdn Bhd (PETRONAS Carigali), along with Babadon-1 and Chenda-1 by Thailand’s PTTEP.

Three discoveries were made in the Northwest Sabah Basin. Layang-Layang-1 by PETRONAS Carigali, as well as Hikmat-1 and Dermawan-1 by PTTEP proved a working petroleum system that unravels new opportunities in the ultra-deepwater and deepwater areas. Another drilling campaign is ongoing within the same proven basin in the shallow waters off the coast of Sabah.

Two other discoveries were made within the Malay Basin. Hibiscus Oil & Gas Malaysia found gas in Bunga Lavatera-1 well nearby the PM3 hub, and brought it onstream with a flowrate of about 50mmscf per day within the same year. PTTEP found oil and gas in Simpoh Beludu-1, having penetrated the hydrocarbon-filled reservoir in the deeper Group K sands.

PETRONAS Senior Vice President of Malaysia Petroleum Management (MPM), Mohamed Firouz Asnan said, “This significant exploration success validates our belief that there is more potential within the so-called matured Malaysia’s basins, using new 3D seismic data and the latest software technologies to better detect deeper hydrocarbon potentials.”

“We fully support our partners’ adoption of new exploration strategies which focus on near-field potential, that will enable quicker monetisation of the discoveries. This is crucial in meeting the rising energy demand not just in Malaysia but also to countries in the region. MPM will be launching the next series of the Malaysia Bid Round early next year, offering more exploration blocks and discovered resources opportunities to potential investors. The strong support from producing states as well as the federal government has been crucial in the success of the country’s resource base growth,” he added.
