Coastal Energy has entered an agreement with the Malaysian government owned company, Petronas, for the production of petroleum from the Kapal, Banang and Meranti cluster of small fields offshore Malaysia.
Oil and gas group Coastal (with 100% equity interest) will be the operator of the so-called "KBM cluster" fields. Part of the agreement means Coastal must recruit a Malaysian company to participate in the field at a 30 - 40% equity interest.
