From the Star – Analysts snuff out oil & gas excitement

January 30, 2011

Dateline 2011-01-19:

PETALING JAYA: It is understandable that when Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak announced billions of ringgit worth of investment in the oil and gas industry to enhance oil extraction from marginal fields, there was quite a bit of excitement generated among industry players as well as in the stock market.

The announcement was made on Jan 11 in the third update of the Economic Transformation Programme (ETP) with investments (some of it ongoing) by Petroliam Nasional Bhd (Petronas) together with partners Exxon Mobil Corp and Shell Malaysia totalling over RM15bil.

While the stock market was already on an uptrend, oil and gas counters became the focus of investors over the two days following the announcement. For example, the share prices of Kencana Petroleum Bhd and SapuraCrest Petroleum Bhd were at their highest for the year on Jan 12.

There are now expectations that Petronas would award multi-billion ringgit contracts for the development of marginal oil fields by the end of this month to several consortia comprising local and foreign companies, which could involve the parties taking equity stakes in joint ventures.

From Bernama – Call to Liberalise Natural Gas Mart by 2013

January 29, 2011

Dateline 2011-01-18:

Malaysia should aim to liberalise the natural gas market by 2013 to allow industry players time to plan ahead to bring in their own supplies while the country is still a net producer.

President of the Association of Water and Energy Research Malaysia, S. Piarapakaran, said Malaysia was expected to become a net gas importer by 2016 based on the current consumption pattern.

“From 1990 to 2008, gas usage in Malaysia increased by 3.9 times to 27,000 ktoe (kilotonne of oil equivalent),” he told Bernama here Wednesday.

Piarapakaran was commenting on the government’s move to reduce subsidies to the energy sector and achieve a market-driven price structure by 2015 under the 10th Malaysia Plan.

From the Sun – OSK cuts profit forecast for PETRONAS Gas

January 28, 2011

And this is the latest article where the BeC fire is mentioned:

Dateline 2011-01-21:

OSK Research has warned that Petronas Gas Bhd’s profits for the second half of its financial year ending March 31, 2011 (FY11) were unlikely to match its stellar first-half performance as a result of the Bekok C gas platform fire, offshore Terengganu, in December.

Due to the loss of some 5% of gas supply from Bekok which would affect its gas processing and transmission revenue as well as revenue from extracting propane and butane, OSK Research cut its net profit forecast for Petronas Gas by 0.4% for FY11, 3% for FY12 and 1.4% for FY13, which in turn reduced its target price slightly to RM13.54 from RM13.65.
