Key focus areas include the Meranti Cluster, A Cluster, Beta Cluster, and the upcoming reactivation of the Abu Cluster, with first oil production anticipated in 2026. It is also actively exploring opportunities to acquire additional producing assets in Malaysia to enhance production capabilities and create synergistic value. The Group will continue to optimise production from the Anasuria Cluster assets in the UK North Sea, focusing on maximizing efficiency and extending the life of these fields.
