KKB said work on the platform, which is still subject to the award of a formal contract, was scheduled to start in the second quarter of 2017.
The work will see a 3000 tonne wellhead platform and associated pipelines installed and linked to the field’s existing infrastructure at the offshore Malaysian field.
