Yes, nothing to do with normal oil & gas. Still, it’s Malaysian, it’s got ‘oil’ in the title, and it’s a gas.

As you get older, the memory starts to lose that sharp edge. So, I’ve taken photos of parking pillars as I go round town, sometimes to collect debts, sometimes to start them. Don’t ask me where these places are, I have no idea…

It says its a “a social mobile application providing free turn-by-turn navigation based on the live conditions of the road. 100% powered by users, the more you drive, the better it gets.

2011 was an active year for Petronas with the national oil company increasing its presence in Sabah and re-energising the state’s oil and gas industry.
Petronas this year announced a whopping investment and its commitment to a combined capital expenditure of RM45 billion to implement an integrated oil and gas master plan for Sabah, involving the development of several upstream and downstream projects over the next few years.
The announcement received positive reactions and all-round support from the majority of the people and state leaders alike, although some said there was still room for improvement in Petronas’ presence in Sabah.
On Aug 4, Petronas general manager for Sabah and Labuan Regional Office, Joseph Podtung, said some of these projects had already started while others were expected to commence soon.

OWNERS of cars which run on compressed natural gas (CNG) will soon have to pay more for their fuel. They will also have to comply with the three-quarter-tank rule when travelling into Malaysia.
A 20 cents per kg excise duty on CNG will be levied at all gas pumps from Jan 1, a move announced in Budget 2009.
CNG car owners will still pay less duty than petrol-vehicle owners, who pay 41 cents per kg in duty for most grades of petrol.
The three-quarter-tank rule, which currently applies only to petrol vehicles registered in Singapore, will also apply to CNG cars from Jan 1, said Singapore Customs yesterday

What exactly are we recovering from? Gemusut Kakap, hahahahahaha.
Dateline 2011-12-28:
Recovery for the oil and gas (O&G) sector may be in the pipeline next year in view of key potential tie-ups and new marginal oilfields to provide order book replenishment over the next few years.
Elaborating on this, OSK Research Sdn Bhd (OSK Research) in its recent report remarked, “We expect new contract awards, especially for the new marginal oilfields as well as the development of the existing marginal oilfields to start by the second half of 2012 (2H12) and peak well into 2016.
“By 2013, we should see some overlapping of shallow waters, marginal oilfields and deepwater activities, with the kick-starting of the Gemusut Kakap deepwater production.”

Petronas is in talks with several global oil majors including Shell (RDSa.L) and Exxon Mobil (XOM.N) to develop petrochemical plants within its $20 billion refinery complex in southern Malaysia, two sources with direct knowledge of the matter said.
Malaysia’s national oil company is also talking to Japanese firms Itochu Corp (8001.T) and Mitsubishi Corp (8058.T) as well as to Dow Chemical Co (DOW.N) — the largest U.S. chemical maker — as it seeks to tap surging Asian demand and diversify its earnings, the sources told Reuters

Malaysia’s Tanjung Langsat Port expects to restart full operations at its 100,000 cubic meters (628,981 barrels) oil and petrochemicals complex in January, a source close to the matter said Thursday.
As of now, the first discharge shipment into the terminal in Malaysia’s southern Johor state has yet to be fixed.
In August, TLP completed the reconstruction of two of its remaining oil product tanks — No. 1 and 2 — and also received approval from the Department of Occupational Safety and Health.
The other six tanks at the terminal have already received DOSH’s approval in mid-2010.

Exxon agreed in August to sell its entire 65 percent stake in Esso Malaysia Bhd. (ESSO) and some other assets in the country to the Philippine beer-maker for $610 million. While this won Malaysian government approval last month, the transaction has yet to be concluded.
