Brooke Holdings Sdn Bhd has secured a RM1 billion engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract from PTTEP Sarawak Oil Ltd for the development of the Sirung and Chenda fields (SK405B project) offshore Sarawak.
The contract, awarded for the project’s central processing platform, marks the largest oil and gas contract ever secured by Brooke Holdings, formerly known as Brooke Dockyard and Engineering Works Corp.
Brooke chairman Datuk Seri Wan Lizozman Wan Omar.
PTTEP Sarawak, a subsidiary of Thailand’s national upstream energy company PTTEP, is the operator of the SK405B production sharing contract (PSC), holding a 49.5% stake. Its partners include PETRONAS Carigali Sdn Bhd (25%) and Mitsui Energy Development Co Ltd (25.5%).
Located about 140km from the PETRONAS LNG Complex in Bintulu, the Sirung-Chenda project is PTTEP’s first greenfield development in Malaysia and is expected to support the company’s long-term growth plans.
The agreement was formalised during a signing ceremony witnessed by Sarawak Premier Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg on May 26.
Brooke aims to complete the EPC works by February 2028, in line with PTTEP’s target for first oil production in 2028.
PTTEP Malaysia asset country manager Vitoon Chaisomboonpan said the contract marks the beginning of the project’s execution phase following PTTEP’s final investment decision (FID) in February.
The Sirung and Chenda fields are expected to have a combined production capacity of about 15,000 barrels per day, supported by a central processing platform and a wellhead platform.
Brooke will fabricate the platform jacket at its Demak Laut yard and the 8,500-tonne topsides at its Sejingkat facility.
Brooke chairman Datuk Seri Wan Lizozman Wan Omar described the project as technically complex and said it will test the company’s engineering and execution capabilities across multiple disciplines.
The project is also expected to generate significant local economic benefits, including RM480 million in local procurement and employment opportunities for around 1,300 workers, including engineers, technicians, welders, and fresh graduates through training programmes.
Sarawak Premier Abang Johari said the development reflects the state’s commitment to a low-carbon and environmentally responsible energy future, with the project incorporating zero routine flaring and remote-operated offshore technologies.
