Kuwait Foreign Petroleum Exploration Company k.s.c.c. (KUFPEC), on behalf of its wholly-owned subsidiary KUFPEC Malaysia (SK410B) Limited, is pleased to announce a significant gas discovery via the first exploration well, Lang Lebah-1RDL2, drilled pursuant to the SK-410B Production Sharing Contract (PSC). Block SK-410B is located in shallow waters, nearly 90 kilometers offshore Sarawak, Malaysia covering an area of approximately 1870 sq. km in the prolific Central Luconia Gas Province.

KUFPEC Malaysia (SK-410B) Limited holds a 42.5% working interest under the PSC, with PETRONAS Carigali Sdn. Bhd. and PTTEP HK Offshore Limited (as operator) holding the balance of the working interests. The drilling of Lang Lebah1RDL2 commenced in March 2019. This well targeted non-associated gas in the primary formation of the carbonate reservoir and was drilled to a total depth of 3,810 meters. The well encountered a gross gas column of 252 meters: the discovery is estimated to be a multi-TCF gas discovery. The well was tested in the carbonate main target reservoir with a stabilized combined flow rate of 41.3 MMSCFD and 246 barrel of condensate per day (BCPD) through 40/64-inch choke size.
