From the Star – No listing plan for Petronas Carigali

December 30, 2010

Please, someone tell me why PETRONAS would want to sell off one of their cash cows and their talent pool for upstream engineering. Selling off Carigali would mean the PETRONAS may be the only National Oil Company without an Operating Company. Can you say ‘ATM machine’?

And does MIDF have an ulterior motive in starting such rumours?

Taken from the Star, dateline 2010-12-25:

National oil company Petroliam Nasional Bhd (Petronas) has shot down market talk that it will list wholly-owned exploration and production unit Petronas Carigali Sdn Bhd.

“We have no plans to list Petronas Carigali or any other unit,” a Petronas spokesperson told StarBizWeek when contacted yesterday.

Several business dailies yesterday quoted MIDF Amanah Investment Bank Bhd research head as saying that Petronas Carigali could list on Bursa Malaysia next year in a move to draw foreign funds.

From The Star – Plant fires won’t affect Petronas Chemicals’ business

December 29, 2010

Anyone planning to sell their shares in anticipation of the next ‘fire sale’?

Taken from the Star, dateline 2010-12-27:

From Bernama – Malaysia, Brunei To Publish Book On Oil Industry

December 23, 2010

Someone please send an autographed copy or two my way. Thanks. From Bernama, dateline 2010-12-18:

Malaysia and Brunei Darussalam will jointly publish two coffee table books on the oil industry and the flora and fauna in Borneo in an effort to step up cooperation in the field of information.

The initiative, to be undertaken by Brunei Darussalam Information Department and the Malaysian National News Agency (BERNAMA), will also involve photo exhibition to be held in both countries.

These were among the new programmes agreed during the 3rd meeting of the Malaysia-Brunei Darussalam Joint Technical Committee on Information which ended here Saturday.

Deputy Information Communication and Culture Minister Datuk Joseph Salang Gandum said the publication of the two books would promote both countries to the world as well as further enhance cooperation in the field of information.

“I believe the books will be easy to read. Beginning from history, for example, how oil was found in Brunei and in Miri, also is the uniqueness of the flora and fauna in Borneo,” he told reporters.
