The West Linapacan "A" field which was discovered in 1991 by Alcorn Petroleum was put on production with three (3) sub-sea-completed wells tied back to a FPSO. The field was producing at a rate of 17,000 BOPD until it was saddled with severe water incursion starting on the second year of operation. The field had produced a total of 6.8 Million barrels of oil at the time when a decision to suspend the production operation was made in January 1996. |
