KKB’s OceanMight wraps up second ECP project
KUALA LUMPUR: OceanMight Sdn Bhd (OceanMight), the associate company of KKB Engineering Bhd (KKB) has officially wrapped up their second Engineering Construction and Procurement (ECP) project – The Bunga Pakma Wellhead riser project.
With its completion, the wellhead riser platform topside and jacket structures have been loaded out and are due to sail away at the end of August to undergo installation in the Bunga Pakma field, Block PM-3 within the shared Malaysia and Vietnam Zone.

According to OceanMight, who is also a Petroleum Nasional Bhd (Petronas) licensed major fabrication company, the project was awarded to their group back in May 2016 by Repsol Oil and Gas Malaysia Ltd (Repsol) and is the second ECP award that Repsol had entrusted to them.
The first ECP was the Kinabalu Redevelopment project which was awarded to OceanMight on July 2015 and completed on schedule on May 31, 2017.
The wellhead’s topside and jacket has since been installed within the Kinabalu field located 55km westnorth of Labuan and is expected to see its first oil in the next two months.
With the completion of these two projects, OceanMight has achieved a combined total of two million manhours without any lost time Injury – 700,000 for Bunga Pakma and 1.3 million for Kinabalu Redevelopment.

“Our success has been the result of full support and guidance received from our clients, the Petronas group of companies, Repsol, our subcontractors and suppliers not forgetting out own project team members.”
He went on to reveal that the group along with Repsol had designed several safety programmes that were implemented from the beginning of the projects and opined that the efforts had also played a crucial role in leading to their HSE achievement.
Also speaking at the event, Petronas head of project governance Tuan Norazmi Mat Nor said that the lower manhours without any lost time of injury achieved for the Bunga Pakma project was a clear sign that of tremdously improvement for OceanMight.
“OceanMight has proven to Petronas that they have improved tremendously. Especially in Bunga Pakma a similar sized project (to Kinabalu Redevelopment) that has been completed on time, on schedule and with no issues.”
