Malaysia Malay exploration basin
*Please note that this report only includes an Excel data file if this is indicated in "What's included" below
Report summary
The Malay Basin is a major sedimentary depocentre located off the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia. Exploration drilling has focused on mature shelf areas where the geology is well understood. Low-risk, infrastructure-led drilling programmes are common, underpinning high success rates. However, in the last decade, most discoveries have been small and sub-economic. Nearly all discovered gas is sold into the domestic market at lower prices. Despite this, future oil and gas discoveries in shallow water can leverage existing infrastructure for low cost developments to create value.
