Local sources for Malaysia’s gas needs


Dateline 2013-12-20, The Star:

Malaysia may see almost all of its gas production requirements being sourced from local means from 2015 as soon as the second regassification terminal in Pengerang, Johor is up and running.

Petroliam Nasional Bhd general manager for Malaysia gas management Ezhar Yazid Jaafar said that the additional supply would be sourced from east Malaysia to be processed in Pengerang.

Speaking at a press conference on Wednesday, Ezhar said the country now sourced about 15% of its local requirements from overseas.

“In 2015 or 2016 we will source most of our supplies locally. We presently import LNG from countries such as Brunei, Nigeria, Qatar and Norway,” he said.
