Malaysian elections equal no shutdown work?


Petronas has asked its Production Sharing Contractors (PSC) to defer any shutdown work that might result in gas production cutback till after the Malaysian elections on March 8th, 2008. Is there a concern that a gas shortfall could result in an blackout prior to the elections?

Peninsular Malaysia’s raw gas supply comes from offshore gas fields. The gas is collected into two gas networks and sent to either the Onshore Gas Terminal (OGT) or Onshore Slug Catcher (OSC) in Kertih, Terengganu on the Peninsular’s east coast.

Trivia: Fresh, raw oysters are served in Kertih!
