Egret Oil Field, Brunei
Egret oil field, also known as Egret Field, is a complex oil and gas field in the South China Sea and 45 km north-west of Seria, Belait District, Brunei. It is located at the depth of 60 m, and operated by Brunei Shell Petroleum (BSP).
History
The oil field was first discovered in 1971, but was deemed non-commercial. Moreover, it was predicted that the oil field would produce an estimated of 30 million barrels for 15–20 years. In order to supply the Brunei LNG plant in Lumut, a US$79 million development of the Egret field was planned by the BSP in November 2001 and 2002. The Phase 1 project was planned to be completed by August 2003 (at the cost of US$ 22 million), while Phase 2 was predicted to be in 2006, with the development probably costing US$ 79 million. It was not until 2006, the extraction of oil and gas began. The EGDP-01 platform was put in the field and the gases would then be carried by pipelines to the Brunei LNG plant, via South West Ampa gas field.
