Dateline 2013-01-29:

Having made several discoveries at fields offshore Peninsular Malaysia and Sabah this year, Lundin Petroleum AB remains bullish on Malaysia’s oil and gas sector.

Exciting future for Malaysia’s oil and gas industry

January 24, 2013

Dateline 2013-01-17:

TREMENDOUS POTENTIAL- Billions of ringgit going into risk service contracts, more oil discoveries plus billions to spend in capex

THE future looks stimulating for the local oil and gas industry, with billions of ringgit of investments going into risk service contracts (RSCs), more discovery of deepwater reserves, plus tens of billions of ringgit in upstream capital expenditure (capex).

The potential in technologically demanding areas such as enhanced oil recovery, asset integrity, integra-ted operations and deepwater exploration is expected to provide opportunities for local players to develop indigenous technology.

Besides marginal fields development, analysts and industry players see the merger between SapuraCrest Petroleum Bhd and Kencana Petroleum Bhd into SapuraKencana Petroleum Bhd, the liquefied natural gas regasification terminal and the Pengerang Integrated Petroleum Complex, as major highlights of the industry in the year 2012.
