New Adong Kechil West well targets mid-2027 gas supply for Miri power plant
-
PETROS plans another well at Adong Kechil West near Marudi by mid-2027 to supply gas to the combined-cycle power station in Lutong, Miri, Premier Abang Johari Tun Openg said on October 10.
The field is in northern Sarawak, not Kuching, where the Premier made the announcement at Padang Merdeka. He also outlined a separate exploration well at Kuala Baram, describing its gas-production potential as encouraging. Exploration potential is not a confirmed commercial gas output.
Adong Kechil West is already producing oil. PETROS and PETRA Energy announced first oil from the field’s Early Production System on July 24. The Premier’s latest update put oil production at 800 barrels a day; that existing oil output should not be confused with gas from the proposed additional well.
PETROS’s July release said the next development phase would provide facilities and infrastructure for the Miri combined-cycle gas turbine power plant, then targeted for commissioning by the end of 2027. The mid-year well plan and year-end plant target are different milestones. For Miri’s future power supply, the key progress is whether the well, production facilities and connecting infrastructure are delivered, rather than treating a development timetable as electricity already available.
