About Manora
Located in Block G1/48, offshore in the Gulf of Thailand, the Manora Field has been producing medium-weight sweet crude oil from Miocene-age sandstone reservoirs since 2014. Operated by Valeura Energy (Thailand) Ltd., Manora is TIS Energy’s producing asset outside Indonesia, extending the group’s upstream portfolio into Southeast Asia.
Strategic Oil Production in the Gulf of Thailand (offshore)
Manora sits in shallow waters of the Gulf of Thailand, one of Southeast Asia’s established oil and gas basins, allowing compact offshore infrastructure and efficient field operations.
Integrated Infrastructure
Manora is developed with a single wellhead production platform connected to a floating storage vessel through subsea pipelines and a CALM buoy. This compact setup supports production through export.
MN–WPP Wellhead Production Platform
A single fixed platform for production, processing and water injection.
FSO Manora Princess
Leased Floating Storage and Offloading vessel with 650,000 bbls storage capacity.
PLEM & CALM Buoy
Subsea connection linking the platform to the FSO for continuous offloading.
