The Seria Field, Brunei : 80 Years On, Near Field Exploration Going Strong

The onshore Seria oil field, located in Brunei and operated by Brunei Shell Petroleum Co. (BSP), was discovered in 1929 and<br>has produced over 1.1 billion barrels of oil. The field still has a large Near Field Exploration (NFE) portfolio of undeveloped<br>hydrocarbon resources in reservoir blocks on the northern flank. These blocks, located under the shallow marine surf zone,<br>have previously been difficult to access due to the very shallow water and shoreward dipping nature of the fault blocks.<br>However, the Seria North Flank (SNF) project has begun to unlock these volumes through the implementation of the<br>revolutionary fish hook well technology concept, allowing these opportunities to be developed from land.
