The well was drilled in May 2024, and has yielded promising results from shallow to deep reservoirs through Group I, L and M. The well test yields an excellent hydrocarbon flow rate in the Group I formation and reveals significant hydrocarbon potential in a new play within the Malay Basin. This achievement stands as a testament to PETRONAS’ unwavering commitment to leveraging advanced exploration techniques to secure and expand its resource addition to meet growing demand in Peninsular Malaysia.
David Hajovsky, EVP of Multi-Client at TGS, commented: “We are pleased by the success of the Bekok Deep-1 exploration well, which was initially identified using vintage seismic data. This discovery highlights the significant hydrocarbon potentials in Peninsular Malaysia and the critical role of advanced seismic imaging technology in unlocking these exploration opportunities. We are proud to have contributed to this accomplishment and remain dedicated to providing our clients with innovative data solutions that advance the future of energy exploration.”
The TGS Peninsular Malaysia 3D Mega Merge project involves the reprocessing of field data and merging of over 60 legacy surveys, providing a seamless dataset covering approximately 40,000 sq km. The project integrates modern processing techniques to remove noise and multiple contamination, along with the latest velocity model building technologies (FWI, Q-tomography, well-calibration and anisotropy). The deliverable is a comprehensive time and depth migrated products including stacks, angle volumes and gathers, suitable for structural evaluation and further QI studies.
