Gumusut-Kakap - overview
See key facts, a brief project history, and learn how Shell has been contributing in Malaysia through environmental and social programmes.
Gumusut-Kakap
Our first deep-water project in Malaysia uses advanced Shell technology to safely produce oil from the Gumusut-Kakap field in seas 1,200 metres (3,900 feet) deep. With an annual peak oil production of around 148,000 barrels a day, the platform contributes up to 25% of Malaysia’s oil output.
Gumusut-Kakap was built entirely in Malaysia, allowing Shell to share its deep-water expertise to boost local companies and help the government create an offshore industry hub in the country. Read the project press release and see photos on Flickr
