From the Star – Analysts snuff out oil & gas excitement

January 30, 2011

Dateline 2011-01-19:

PETALING JAYA: It is understandable that when Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak announced billions of ringgit worth of investment in the oil and gas industry to enhance oil extraction from marginal fields, there was quite a bit of excitement generated among industry players as well as in the stock market.

The announcement was made on Jan 11 in the third update of the Economic Transformation Programme (ETP) with investments (some of it ongoing) by Petroliam Nasional Bhd (Petronas) together with partners Exxon Mobil Corp and Shell Malaysia totalling over RM15bil.

While the stock market was already on an uptrend, oil and gas counters became the focus of investors over the two days following the announcement. For example, the share prices of Kencana Petroleum Bhd and SapuraCrest Petroleum Bhd were at their highest for the year on Jan 12.

There are now expectations that Petronas would award multi-billion ringgit contracts for the development of marginal oil fields by the end of this month to several consortia comprising local and foreign companies, which could involve the parties taking equity stakes in joint ventures.

From Bernama – Call to Liberalise Natural Gas Mart by 2013

January 29, 2011

Dateline 2011-01-18:

Malaysia should aim to liberalise the natural gas market by 2013 to allow industry players time to plan ahead to bring in their own supplies while the country is still a net producer.

President of the Association of Water and Energy Research Malaysia, S. Piarapakaran, said Malaysia was expected to become a net gas importer by 2016 based on the current consumption pattern.

“From 1990 to 2008, gas usage in Malaysia increased by 3.9 times to 27,000 ktoe (kilotonne of oil equivalent),” he told Bernama here Wednesday.

Piarapakaran was commenting on the government’s move to reduce subsidies to the energy sector and achieve a market-driven price structure by 2015 under the 10th Malaysia Plan.

Bloomberg – Malaysia’s Petronas Raises Tapis Crude Price Factor to Record for January

January 23, 2011

Dateline 2011-01-11:

Petroliam Nasional Bhd., Malaysia’s state oil company, raised a price-adjustment factor for its benchmark Tapis crude to a record for a fifth month as processing profits increased.

Petronas, as the Kuala Lumpur-based company is known, set the factor at $7.80 a barrel for January, up 30 cents, or 4 percent, from December, said an official today, asking not to be identified because of corporate policy. The factor averaged $3.84 last year and 59 cents in 2009.

The increase follows rising profits for refiners turning light crude such as Tapis into gasoil, or diesel. Gasoil’s premium to Dubai crude, known as the crack spread, was at $14.03 a barrel today, from $12.81 at the end of last month, according to PVM Oil Associates Ltd., a brokerage.


From the Daily Express – Quarter of the nation’s crude oil from Sabah

January 23, 2011

Dateline 2011-01-09:

Kota Kinabalu: Sabah contributed more than quarter of the nation’s crude oil last year.

Chief Minister, Datuk Seri Musa Aman said the State chipped in about 26.9 per cent of the country’s overall crude oil output, which totaled more than 637,000 drums daily.

The oil and gas industry was one of the main contributors to Sabah’s economic sustainability, he said, adding many large-scale projects in the sector have been developed.

“These includes the Kikeh Oil Field, which is the first offshore deepwater oil field in Malaysia and the Sabah Oil and Gas Terminal (SOGT) in Kimanis as the industry’s hub in the State’s West Coast,” he said during the Petronas Petroleum Technology Institute (Instep) 2010 Convocation, Saturday.

“I am confident the sector has the potential to grow even further in future.”

In the same breath, Musa said such development could only be achieved with skilled and experienced labour such as those produced by national oil company Petronas.


From Bernama – O&G Stocks Set To Perk Up After PM’s Announcement

January 20, 2011

From Bernama, dateline 2011-01-12:

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak’s announcement on over RM20 billion investment in the oil and gas (O&G) and energy sectors is expected to perk up trading of the O&G stocks after being out of the limelight for the last two years since the crash of the crude oil price.

In a note on Wednesday, OSK Research said the share prices of most O&G companies were experiencing an upward re-rating due to the steady flow of positive news.

Under the third update of the Economic Transformation Programme yesterday, Najib said Shell Malaysia would invest RM5.1 billion in multiple projects to upgrade, expand or build facilities in upstream, midstream and downstream activities across Malaysia.

Meanwhile, ExxonMobil Exploration and Production Malaysia Inc, together with its production-sharing contract partner, Petronas Carigali Sdn Bhd, planned to invest over RM10 billion in new oil and gas assets to help ensure reliable and sustainable energy supplies for Malaysia.

This was a follow-through from the announcement of new tax incentives under the Petroleum Income Tax Act in November 2010.
