A desktop review project was undertaken by MRF on behalf of Chemsain Konsultant Sdn Bhd for the Environmental Risk Assessment (ERA) Study for Exploration Drilling off northwest Sabah commissioned by INPEX Offshore North West Sabah Ltd.
INPEX Corporation, through its subsidiary INPEX Offshore North West Sabah Ltd. proposed to conduct exploration activities on Blocks S and R at the deepwater area of offshore Sabah. Block S is located 120km to the Northwest off the coast of Kota Kinabalu, the state capital of Sabah. Any proposed project for petroleum industry development (drilling and production) is considered as a Prescribed Activity and thus requires an Environmental Impact Assessment for submission to Malaysia’s DoE.
