TotalEnergies to Take Operatorship of Two Major Gas Fields Offshore Malaysia

TotalEnergies has signed agreements to acquire a 30% operated interest in the Lang Lebah and B14 gas fields offshore Malaysia, paving the way for an integrated development expected to unlock more than 6.5 trillion cubic feet of gas resources.

The French energy company signed the agreements with PETRONAS Carigali, PTTEP and KUFPEC for the two fields off the coast of Sarawak.

Lang Lebah, described as one of Malaysia's largest offshore gas discoveries, and the nearby B14 field are planned to be developed as a single integrated project supplying the existing Malaysia LNG liquefaction plant.

The development is expected to unlock more than 6.5 trillion cubic feet of gas resources, equivalent to more than 1 billion barrels of oil equivalent, with a targeted production plateau of around 10 billion cubic meters annually.
