Tendeka to deliver AICDs to aid production enhancement in Malaysia

Global completions service company Tendeka will provide its inflow control technology to help increase production from Malaysian assets of an independent operator.

Our technology can choke back unwanted water from being produced to surface and enabling higher oil production to be maintained for longer. Adopting best practice modelling techniques and installation practices from previous work is allowing us to optimise designs and save time in completing wells, resulting in significant cost savings for clients.

“This is our second major win in Malaysia over the last couple of months, and our third in south east Asia. With the current challenges facing all companies now, these contracts are testament to the hard work of our experienced team and the confidence our clients have in Tendeka and our partners.”

The work was awarded through Vantage Energy Group, Tendeka’s partner in the region. The contract also has the option of a one-year extension.

We are thankful of the special relationship and partnership we have with Tendeka and we are hopeful that this will continue to be so in the future.”
