- The Mobile Water Injection Facility will be injecting water into an oil field reservoir to increase production and reserves recovery via pressure support from water injection and sweep into existing and new oil producers.
Malaysia Marine and Heavy Engineering Holdings Berhad (MHB) is pleased to announce that its wholly owned and major subsidiary, Malaysia Marine and Heavy Engineering Sdn Bhd (MMHE) has secured a subcontract award from Uzma Engineering Sdn Bhd (UESB), a wholly owned subsidiary of Uzma Berhad. The contract involves the demolition, refurbishment, life extension and conversion of a Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit (MODU), into a Mobile Water Injection Facility (WIF). Upon completion, this facility will be deployed offshore Sabah by 2025 to support enhanced oil recovery efforts, contributing to increased production efficiency in the region.
During its conversion at MMHE West Yard in Pasir Gudang, Johor, Malaysia, the MODU will be equipped with Uzma’s Mobile Water Injection Facilities (uzmaWIF), a state-of-the-art solution for efficient and sustainable water management in oil and gas operations. This system is designed to optimise reservoir pressure, enhance oil recovery rates, and reduce environmental impact. The conversion into a Mobile WIF will be MMHE’s first floater conversion project for UESB.
