From Upstream Online – Malaysia works on first LNG terminal


A new skill to pick up fast. LNG importing and regasification will be important to the Semenanjung soon. I guess we’ll see a new influx of foreign engineers (Japanese?) to run the show. Or since MMC claims that PGB is its subsidiary, will we see them calling the shots? BTW, why is the Petronas Gas site a .com site, not a .com.my one?

Dateline 2010-07-23:

Petronas Gas expects to complete a study on the proposed construction of Malaysia’s first liquefied natural gas import terminal before the end of the 2010.

Chairman Wan Zulkiflee Wan Ariffin said the installed capacity of the plant is about 3.5 million tonnes (139 million cubic feet) per annum.

Petronas Gas is open to the possiblity of any third party, other than Petronas, which wanted to bring in gas into the country to meet shortage in supply, Wan Zulkiflee told reporters.

    I believe the regas unit shall be using floating regas unit (FSRU). There has been rumours of 2 FSRU projects for Petronas by MISC to be located at Melaka and Terengganu.
