The Offshore CPOC production platform, in the Malaysia- Thailand Joint Development Area (JDA) Block B-17, is designed to process 650 MMSCFD Inlet gas, and must reduce the CO2 from 43% inlet content to 23% sales gas content. Carigali-PTTEPI Operating Company SDN BHD (CPOC) selected NATCO Cynara membrane technology for this important project.

The platform in Offshore West Africa, in Angola's deep water Block 14, is expected to come onstream in 2009 and reach peak production of 100,000 bpd of crude by 2011.

Advanced technology and processing equipment is critical to effectively process the heavy crude from the Rubiales Field, CPF-1, in the Llanos Basin, southeast of Bogota, Colombia. A recent expansion of the facility by Petro Rubiales (formerly Meta Petroleum Ltd.) was undertaken to aggressively increase the capacity to over 30,000 BPD.
