PETRONASthrough Malaysia Petroleum Management (MPM), in collaboration with Beicip Franlab Asia, has embarked on an integrated basin study to explore untapped resources in the Malay Basin, situated off the coast of Peninsular Malaysia.
The study leverages advanced 4D modeling and machine learning technologies to analyze subsurface architecture at basin and reservoir scales. It also focuses on predicting hydrocarbon migration and trapping by leveraging big data from the Malaysian Basin.
Since the 1970s, the Malaysian Basin has produced more than nine billion barrels of oil equivalent, earning it the title “super basin.” Recent exploration activities have uncovered significant deposits, highlighting the potential of the basin. Beyond hydrocarbons, the basin presents significant opportunities for carbon capture and storage (CCS), which positions it as a key player in sustainable energy development.
