How Keppel was affected by the OGX collapse

It recently suffered cash flow woes.

According to DBS, OGX has run into cash flow problems from loss making operations as it repeatedly failed to meet output targets and delays from turning start-ups into revenue producing projects.

OGX’s woes were compounded as it declared 3 of its oil fields are non commercial and stopped production.

Here's more from DBS:

As a result, it had to cancel contracts for production units at OSX, with compensation amounting to US$449m. Both Keppel and SMM secured one FPSO conversion job each from OSX through SBM/Modec in 2011.

We understand SMM has delivered the vessel and Keppel is close to completing the unit as well. We do not expect any material impact from this incident as OSX has agreed to take delivery of these vessels and seek buyers subsequently.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
