Oil Platform Capsizes and Sinks with 101 Crew Members Onboard in Kalimantan, South China Sea

The Malaysian offshore oil and gas platform NAGA-7 sank after a drilling incident while operating for ConocoPhillips on May 4, in the offshore waters of Sarawak, north of Kalimantan with several crew members. The company confirms that the offshore drilling platform is submerged following the incident during installation at a well site. The information relayed is that one of the legs of the three-legged offshore platform broke offshore, in the mud below. As a result, the platform tilted and then sank. All 101 personnel onboard managed to evacuate to 3 lifeboats and are safe.

Moment When the Offshore Platform Sank

Naga-7 is a Gusto MSC CJ46-X100-D drilling platform capable of drilling in water depths of up to 375 feet. Built on Mazou Island, China, by China Merchants Industry, the platform was delivered in 2015.

Velesto Energy, previously known as UMW A Oil & Gas, is a multinational drilling provider based in Malaysia for the upstream sector of the oil and gas industry. The Kuala Lumpur-based company operates a fleet of seven jackup drilling rigs.

Oil at the center of global disputes and historical transformations

More than R$ 526 million generated in oil in 2025 was not enough to place Espírito Santo in the lead of innovation — and the data shows exactly where the bottleneck is.

With salaries of up to R$ 30,000 and 2,500 open positions, a shipyard in Aracruz (ES) is at the center of a billion-dollar project by Petrobras that involves platforms capable of producing 225,000 barrels per day.
