This study presents a comprehensive analysis of midstream development options for the Gelama Merah Oil Field, focusing on optimizing transportation and processing strategies. The Gelama Merah Field, located in Sabah Basin, is characterized by complex reservoir conditions and remote accessibility, necessitating careful evaluation of transportation and processing alternatives. Various options, including pipeline transportation, trucking, and floating production systems, are assessed for their technical feasibility, economic viability, and environmental impact. Additionally, the study considers factors such as reservoir characteristics, production rates, infrastructure availability, and market conditions to identify the most suitable midstream development strategy. The analysis provides valuable insights for stakeholders and decision-makers to optimize midstream operations and maximize the field's production potential.
