During the planned maintenance period in 2025, Roc Oil's Malaysia team successfully overcame production challenges with outstanding innovative thinking and lean management capabilities. They creatively ensured uninterrupted crude oil production throughout the two-week scheduled shutdown of the MLNG gas facility, contributing to increased production and revenue for the company. This fully demonstrates the exceptional execution and lean culture of the Roc team in implementing the FES system and embracing innovative breakthroughs.

According to the 2025 production and operations plan, the D35, D21, and J4 oilfields were originally scheduled for a complete shutdown of all crude oil export during the two-week MLNG shutdown period due to the inability to export natural gas. However, the Roc Oil Malaysia team did not settle for "shutting down as planned." Instead, they challenged conventional practices by initiating multiple studies and well tests early in the first half of the year. They systematically assessed the maximum feasible gas reinjection capacity of the D35 oilfield and proposed an innovative solution based on the research and test results—maximizing gas reinjection during the MLNG shutdown to sustain crude oil production without the need for gas export.

Working closely with the operator, Roc's innovative proposal was highly endorsed. The team completed maximum gas reinjection tests in advance, prioritizing production wells with low gas-to-oil ratios that were unaffected by excessive gas reinjection. By maximizing gas reinjection, the team successfully achieved continuous crude oil export during the two-week MLNG shutdown while operating only a single compressor (under zero-gas-export conditions). This solution maintained the oilfield's normal daily crude oil production level during the MLNG shutdown, equivalent to an approximate 4% increase in the project's annual production, creating significant extra-budgetary production gains for the company.

This achievement not only realized the goal of "oilfield production continuity during gas plant shutdown" but also provided valuable experience for maintaining production during planned major overhauls of the D35 oilfield when only a single compressor may be operational. The team continued to employ gas reinjection measures, further solidifying production optimization results and sustaining over-production.

Throughout the implementation of the solution, the team fully utilized existing inventory and equipment to complete the optimization without incurring any additional procurement costs, truly achieving the goal of cost reduction and efficiency improvement. Meanwhile, the project experience established a mature and replicable operational model for addressing similar planned or unexpected shutdowns in the future, setting another benchmark for lean operations for the company in the region.

This accomplishment embodies the spirit of "daring to think and act, pragmatic and innovative" of the Roc Oil Malaysia team and reaffirms the significant effectiveness of the FES system implementation at the frontline. Roc Oil will continue to leverage innovation as the engine and lean practices as the driver, promoting continuous improvement across all business units and advancing steadily toward the goal of "safe, efficient, and sustainable" operational excellence.
