Vestigo Petroleum Sdn Bhd is developing the Berantai East, Irong Timur, and Kurma Manis fields within the TNAG Field, located approximately 150 km offshore from the Kemaman Supply Base, Malaysia. The development is led by Vestigo Petroleum as the operator, with Malaysia Marine Heavy Engineering (MMHE) appointed as the main contractor. 


The project comprises multiple offshore Wellhead Platforms intended to support hydrocarbon production. The project involves the engineering of compact and lightweight Wellhead Platforms designed in accordance with international offshore engineering standards. The facilities are configured to optimize structural efficiency, constructability, and installation, while meeting project-specific operational and safety requirements.


The Wellhead Platforms are supported by substructures utilizing suction pile foundation technology, selected to suit offshore ground conditions and to enable efficient offshore installation. The overall design philosophy emphasizes reduced structural weight and simplified offshore construction to support schedule-driven execution.


To meet project milestones, the Detailed Engineering Design (DED) was executed on a fast-track basis, achieving Approved for Construction (AFC) status within three months, enabling the project to meet the first steel cut schedule.


Synergy Engineering was engaged to deliver full multidisciplinary Detailed Engineering Design (DED) services for the Wellhead Platforms. The scope of work covered topside engineering, substructure engineering incorporating suction pile technology, specialist engineering services including technical safety and engineering simulations, as well as procurement and construction technical support.
