The efforts of the co-owners of the Ophir shallow-water oilfield in Malaysia to restore production have not been successful, writes Russell Searancke.
The field was shut in on 8 January this year after just three months of production to address facilities constraints identified during commissioning.
However a power fault prevented a production restart.
Nitrogen lifting operations, which began in late March on the first well Ophir A-1 to restore production, were "significantly impacted" by the weather and deck space limitations, said co-owner Octanex.
