Brunei — Energy Infrastructure
OverWatts maps 22 energy assets in Brunei across 6 layers — the 126th-largest mapped base of 157 countries. They include 11 oil & gas fields, 4 power plants and 3 chemical plants. Operating generation capacity is 432 MW, led by coal at 51%.
The companies named on the most assets are Shell PLC (14), Brunei Shell Petroleum Company (7) and Government of Brunei (7), counting both ownership and operatorship. Half of Brunei's mapped assets in service predate 1996 (median commissioning year of the 14 with a known date), 3 came online in the past decade and the oldest still listed is Seria Oil Field (Brunei), dating from 1932. 5 projects are under construction or proposed, led by Bukit Panggal power station (500 MW).
Operating generation capacity by fuel
Utility-scale sites of 100 MW and above. Distributed generation — rooftop solar especially — is outside the tracker, so this runs below national installed capacity.
