Pengerang Gearing Up to Become Regional Oil Storage Hub

January 17, 2012

Dateline 2012-01-13:

 

Earmarked as an up- and-coming oil storage hub for Asia, Johor’s Pengerang is expected to see a step up in activities this year, with Malaysian companies led by Petronas committed to investing tens of billions of ringgit there.

 

A RM5 billion (S$2.05 billion) independent deepwater petroleum terminal (IDPT) project by a Dialog- Royal Vopak joint venture has already gotten off the ground, 5 per cent of the first phase completed as at December.

 

It will deliver an initial 1.3 million cubic metres (cbm) of storage with seven vessel berths when commissioned in 2014. The IDPT will offer five million cbm storage when fully completed over 10 years.

 

An integrated specialist technical services provider in the oil and gas and petrochemicals industry, Dialog has a 60-year exclusive mandate to develop the IDPT by the Johor state government which also has a stake in the project. Petronas is expected to be the terminal’s main client.

 

Pengerang has distinct advantages as an IDPT because its 24-metre deepwater jetty facilities can accommodate VLCCs and ULCCs, allowing tankers to collect or deliver crude oil without a costly buoy mooring system.

Petron gets go-signal to invest in Esso Malaysia Bhd

January 15, 2012

Dateline 2012-01-11:

Petron Corp., the country’s largest oil refiner and retailer, has gotten the go-signal to pursue its planned investments in Esso Malaysia Bhd., a subsidiary of Exxon Mobil Corp. for its downstream oil business in Malaysia.

In a disclosure to the Philippine Stock Exchange, Petron said that its executive committee approved on Wednesday the company’s investment in Esso but did not reveal the final investment figures. The oil firm said that the amount and percentage sharing have yet to be determined.

In a text message, Petron president Eric O. Recto said the oil company has not determined how it would make its investments in Esso—whether it would acquire only a portion or the entire 65-percent stake in Esso, now owned by highly diversified conglomerate San Miguel Corp.

San Miguel also owns 68 percent of Petron.

From Sinchew – O&G upcycle to begin this year: HwangDBS

January 12, 2012

Dateline 2012-01-04:

Malaysia’s oil and gas (O&G) upcycle will start in 2012 with Petronas going full throttle to sustain oil production, according to a research house.

HwangDBS Vickers Research said the national oil company’s record RM300 billion capital spending over five years would be a strong re-rating catalyst for domestic O&G players.

“Critical gas shortage in the country has also prompted Petronas to fast-track upstream activities, which will benefit local players,” it said in a note today.

Marketing Rounds – Where is the Darn Car?

January 10, 2012

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…
