KUALA LUMPUR: Sarawak Shell Berhad (SSB), a subsidiary of Shell plc, together with PETRONAS Carigali Sdn Bhd, has taken a final investment decision (FID) to develop the Rosmari-Marjoram gas project.
Rosmari-Marjoram fields are situated 220 kilometres off the coast of Bintulu, Sarawak, Malaysia and will be powered by renewable energy, using solar power for the offshore platform.
“Rosmari-Marjoram will help to deliver a secure and reliable supply of energy, responsibly and efficiently” said Shell Upstream Director Zoe Yujnovich. “This demonstrates our Powering Progress strategy — powering lives, generating value, and reducing emissions by using renewable energy to power Rosmari-Marjoram.”
Ivan Tan, Country Chair and Senior Vice President Upstream Malaysia said, “The support and partnership from PETRONAS and the Government of Sarawak are critical to achieving this milestone with Rosmari-Marjoram.
Shell has a long and proud history in Sarawak, and we look forward to contribute further to Sarawak and Malaysia’s economic growth through investments in competitive and resilient projects,” he said in a statement.
The Rosmari Marjoram development is one of the strategic projects to ensure a sustained gas supply to the PETRONAS LNG Complex.
The project comprises a remotely operated offshore platform and onshore gas plant, with infrastructure that includes one of the longest sour wet gas offshore pipelines in the world stretching more than 200 km.
The Rosmari-Marjoram project is designed to produce 800 million standard cubic feet of gas per day (MMscf/d).
Gas production is expected to start in 2026.
