AS part of its continuous efforts to promote research and development in the energy industry, ExxonMobil Exploration and Production Malaysia Inc recently awarded RM150,000 in research grants to four public universities.
The grants, worth RM30,000 each, will fund these research projects:

For those who got the grant, congratulations.
