Malikai is a floating dry-tree unit with 24 well slots. The original development basis comprised 17 wells: 11 oil producers and six water-injection wells, leaving additional slots for later drilling. Surface wellheads are connected through top-tensioned production and injection risers, allowing direct well access from the platform. Drilling and completion work is supported by a tender-assisted drilling unit rather than a permanent full drilling rig. The topsides partially process gross wellstream before export. Installed equipment includes production and test separation, liquid pumping, gas compression, production metering, chemical storage and injection, seawater treatment and water-injection facilities. Produced gas supplies platform fuel and gas lift, while the remaining gas stream is exported. Utilities include onboard power generation and distribution, flare and pressure-relief systems, seawater lift, firewater, drains, fire-and-gas detection, emergency shutdown, control and telecommunications systems, and permanent living quarters. Two dedicated pipelines connect Malikai to the Kebabangan host platform. A 10-inch liquid pipeline extends approximately 55 kilometres, while an 8-inch gas pipeline is about 50 kilometres long; both incorporate steel catenary risers at the deep-water end. Kebabangan completes processing before oil is routed through the established pipeline system to the Sabah Oil and Gas Terminal at Kimanis for storage and tanker loading. Malikai itself has no crude-storage or tanker-offloading capability. Its four-column hull is restrained by vertical tendon groups anchored at each corner, limiting heave and supporting the dry-tree riser arrangement.
