Oil and Gas Supply Chain in Malaysia

The oil and gas industry supply chain is from Exploration/Drilling to Distribution. Figure below is shown the supply chain in Malaysia. The secondary support industries such as OSV, Service and Engineering are also illustrated in the figure. 

Supply Chain:

Exploration/ Drilling -> Production -> Shipping -> Storage -> Distribution

The Oil Supply Chain Road Map

The Asia oil supply chain road map from Middle East and Australia to China, Japan.

The sea routes are crossing Hormuz, Malacca, Sonda and Lombok straits and through the South Chinese Sea.

Malaysia and Singapore are located strategy position in term of geographically, they just stay in middle of route. However, this road map is also the important trade route for other commodities since many century ago.

Gas Density Calculation (Estimation)

Quick estimation of gas density

Density = P/(RT)   (kg/m3)
P= Pressure (Pa)
R= Individual gas constant (J/kg.K) = Ru/MW
T= absolute temperature (K)
Ru= Universal gas constant (8314.472 J/kmol.K)
MW= Gas Molecular weight

Example:
Air molecular weight = 29 kg/kmol
Pressure = 1 bara = 100,000 Pa

FPSO Contractor Fleet Size

 FPSO Contractor (2011-2013)

The statistics above is shown the fleet size of FPSO contractors in producing. Total FPSO is decreasing from 90 to 77 for year 2011 to 2013. All players, BW Offshore, SBM, MODEC, Bluewater, etc reduced number of fleet size, except Bumi Armada is increasing fleet size, from 2 units to 4 units.

Due to maturity of current oil field, number of un-chartered FPSO is increasing, anticipating a challenging ahead FPSO industry.
