Unity, a well integrity and decommissioning specialist, has secured its first major contract in the Asia Pacific region through a partnership with Malaysia’s Reservoir Link. The collaboration will deliver a three-well rigless intervention programme for a significant international offshore operator in Malaysia. This marks Unity’s strategic entry into the APAC plug and abandonment (P&A) market.
The partnership leverages Unity’s 30 years of experience in the North Sea, where its Surface Intervention System (SIS) has been successfully deployed over 20 times since 2016. The SIS technology is designed to perform wellhead integrity repairs and production restoration without the need for traditional vessel support, offering substantial cost savings and logistical advantages.
Stuart Slater, Unity’s Region Manager for Asia Pacific, highlighted the system’s benefits: “The constraints operators face across South-East Asia are ones we have been solving in the North Sea and Denmark with SIS for more than a decade. By removing the need for a support vessel entirely, it delivers significant cost savings.”
Reservoir Link, established in 2008, brings extensive local expertise and strong client relationships to the partnership. Its Group CEO, Dato’ Wan Hassan Bin Mohd Jamil, expressed enthusiasm for the collaboration, stating, “Malaysia represents a significant opportunity for rigless well intervention and plug and abandonment activities. Together, we are well-positioned to support operators in extending asset life, improving operational efficiency and advancing responsible decommissioning initiatives across the region.”
This partnership is expected to set a new standard for well intervention in South East Asia, combining Unity’s innovative technology with Reservoir Link’s local execution capabilities.
