Field partner Octanex revealed Friday Muhibbah had landed the EPCIC contract for the field's wellhead platform.

The platform will be fabricated at Muhibbah's yard in Klang, roughly 40 kilometres south-west of Kuala Lumpur, and is currently scheduled for installation at the field in the third quarter of 2016.

“The award of the wellhead platform contract is a significant step towards first oil for the Ophir development and marks a major milestone in the transformation of Octanex from an exploration company to a producer,” Octanex chief operating officer Rae Clark said.
