Dimensions

Budget The Champion Field is the largest field in the East Asset Unit and one of the largest in BSP. It is a geologically complex field containing some 30 fault blocks and more than 500 reservoirs and has been producing since the early ‘70s. Though with a long production history and the first water injection scheme implemented in the mid ‘80s, recovery from the field has remained less than 30%. The implementation of water injection in Block 13/14 and the de-bottlenecking of the existing WI plant over the last 2 years aimed at providing an injection capacity of 20,000 m3/d marked the start of a commitment to pursue secondary recovery in the Champion Field. Over the next 5 years, it is planned to significantly expand the field development in Champion so that recovery can be maximised and the development plan optimised and in full synergy with the different areas of the field as well as other fields within the asset unit. This project will be one of the most important projects in BSP forthcoming business plan and is of significant strategic importance to both shareholders (Shell and Brunei government) from the perspective of achieving the aspired Reserves Replacement as well as sustaining BSP’s production.

The project value is in excess of 4 Billion BND.
