(WO) – Malaysia’s DIALOG Group has started commercial gas production from the Salbiah gas field and taken a final investment decision (FID) on the Fatimah gas field. Both fields are part of the Baram Junior Cluster Small Field Asset production sharing contract (BJC SFA PSC) offshore Sarawak. The Fatimah development involves an additional investment of $211 million.
Salbiah reached first commercial production on Oct. 27, following approval of the cluster’s field development and abandonment plan in January 2025. DIALOG said appraisal well results confirmed Fatimah’s commercial viability, and the field will be developed under the approved plan.
DIALOG Resources signed the PSC with Petronas and Petroleum Sarawak Exploration and Production (PSEP) in January 2023, and its participation runs for up to 14 years. The company plans to fund the Fatimah development with internal cash and/or borrowings. It expects Salbiah production to add to earnings in its fiscal year ending June 30, 2027.
