Petronas posts RM53b net profit on efficiency gains

March 25, 2012

Dateline 2012-03-05:

State oil firm PETRONAS Group has posted RM53 billion net profit for the nine months ended December 31, 2011, excluding gains, owing to higher margins from improved plant performance.

Group revenue also improved by 26.9 per cent from the 2010/11 financial year to RM222.8 billion on the back of higher realised prices and improved gas sales volume.

Gross operating profit after tax surged 30 per cent to RM52.4 billion from the previous financial year, with the group’s energy and production division recording the highest incremental contribution on stronger crude prices.

Singapore says LNG imports can replace piped gas supply

March 23, 2012

Guess where the ‘piped gas supply’ comes from? And is this Tan Sri Hassan Merican’s direction?

Dateline 2012-03-05:

Singapore’s new liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal will be able to handle sufficient imports of the fuel to cover all of the country’s power needs, even if piped gas supply contracts with Malaysia and Indonesia are not renewed, a top energy regulator said on Monday.

Singapore depends on natural gas for around 80 percent of its power generation needs, with the bulk sourced from Indonesia and Malaysia under long-term contracts.

“Supply will come under pressure because of growing domestic gas demand in Malaysia and Indonesia. What we will do is ensure sufficient capacity to import LNG to meet all of our gas demand,” Chee Hong Tat, chief executive of Singapore’s Energy Market Authority, told an industry conference.

Petronas posts 34 pct profit decline, warns on outlook

March 22, 2012

Dateline 2012-03-05:

Malaysia’s state oil firm Petroliam Nasional Bhd (Petronas) posted a 34 percent decline in third-quarter profit on Monday, saying the fall was mainly due to a one-off gain in 2010 from the listing of subsidiaries.

Without that gain, Petronas’ Q3 profit was higher than a year ago on the back of higher crude oil prices and improved margins, it said.

The unlisted firm said its net profit for the nine-month period ended Dec 31, 2011 was 10.6 percent higher than a year ago at 55.57 billion ringgit ($18.5 billion) due to higher crude oil prices, sales and gas production volume.

Malaysia steps up its gas game

March 21, 2012

Dateline 2012-02-28:

A swathe of new liquefied natural gas projects and pricing reform are paving the way for major change in the nation’s gas sector. Damon Evans reports from Kuala Lumpur

Malaysia, the world’s third-largest exporter of liquefied natural gas (LNG), will soon reach a pivotal point in the evolution of its gas industry. State-run Petronas is on track to operate the country’s first floating LNG (FLNG) export unit in 2015, Malaysia will import its first LNG cargoes this year in an effort to avert a gas-supply crunch and, perhaps most crucially of all, the nation is struggling to push through gas-pricing reform. And, amidst this rapidly changing backdrop, Malaysia aims to expand its 24 million tonne per year (t/y) LNG export complex. Just what does the future hold for the Southeast Asian nation’s gas game? As Malaysia gets ready to open the doors to its maiden 3.8 million tonne a year (t/y) LNG import terminal in the central state of Melaka this August, the big question revolves around the domestic appetite for market priced gas – roughly three to four…

Malaysian Oil & Gas Output Likely To See Upswing In Five Years – Idris Jala

March 20, 2012

And I thought it would dip down in five years, if you believe in economic cycles.

Dateline 2012-02-28:

The Malaysian oil and gas (O&G) output is likely to see an upswing within the next five years and continue to contribute significantly, together with the services sector, to gross domestic product (GDP).

Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department, Datuk Seri Idris Jala, said last year, the sector declined by 5.7 per cent and the lower oil output had affected economic growth.

Idris, who is also Performance Management & Delivery Unit (Pemandu) chief executive officer, said this when asked whether Malaysia was over-dependent on the O&G sector at a media briefing with International Trade and Industry Minister Datuk Seri Mustapa Mohamed.

Earlier, both ministers met the foreign missions and business councils here.

He said the Malaysian economy, despite the contraction, managed to record a 5.1 per cent growth last year which indicated that the services sector was really growing.
