Malaysia’s Petronas to sell Vietnam oilfields for $380m


Alamak! Baru nak jual barang kepada mereka.

Dateline 2014-02-27, AsiaOne:

Petroliam Nasional (Petronas) wants to sell its stakes in five offshore oilfields in Vietnam for a combined US$300 million (S$380 million), two company sources said, as the Malaysian state oil firm streamlines its assets and raises funds for expansion.

Petronas, like many other oil companies, is looking to sell aging and less productive oil and gas fields to invest in more profitable assets. The planned asset sale comes as Petronas taps into North America’s shale boom and further develops Malaysian oil and gas fields.

The two sources did not give further details of the fields. They declined to be identified as they are not authorised to speak to the media.
