KOTA KINABALU: As Sabah contributes about 50 per cent of the country’s oil production and with 60 per cent of production in the state comes from Shell, the oil company hopes to keep oil production competitive and growing sustainably in the next years to come. Sabah Shell petroleum company general manager Ian Lim said Shell is doing well in oil production performance over the years, particularly in Sabah deep water. Malikai is the first deep-water TLP in the country and the first Shell TLP outside of the Gulf of Mexico. Located 100km off the coast of Sabah in waters about 500m deep, the Malikai oil field is capable to produce 60,000 barrels per day. We continue to look at opportunity in general whether it is deep water here or shallow water in Sarawak,” he said.
