Petroliam Nasional Bhd (Petronas) said on Tuesday (Dec 28) it expects a positive outlook for 2022 to 2024 for the national oil company on a recovery in crude oil prices, as well as relaxation of Covid-19 standard operating procedures (SOPs) and directives besides an increase in plug and abandonment projects for planned retirement of oil and gas wells.

Petronas said the information in its latest activity outlook report, which covers 2022 to 2024, is accounted for when a specific activity begins and not by contract award.

Strong petrochemicals demand drives project starts in Malaysia

Did they take this wholesale from PETRONAS’ outlook?

Dateline 2021-12-28, Hydrocarbon Engineering:

Malaysia is likely to witness start of operations of 31 petrochemicals projects from 2021 to 2025 driven by robust demand for petrochemicals, according to GlobalData.

GlobalData’s ‘Global Petrochemicals New-Build and Expansion Projects Outlook, 2021-2025’ report reveals that out of 31 projects expected to commence operations in Malaysia, polyethylene projects would be at three, followed by polypropylene and benzene with two each.

Bhargavi Gandham, Oil & Gas Analyst at GlobalData, comments: “Petrochemicals consumption is on the rise in Malaysia leading to supply-demand mismatch. This is leading to growth in investments and establishments of joint ventures to boost petrochemicals capacity in the country.”

Malaysia’s Petronas says COVID-19 variants to keep oil demand uncertain

February 27, 2022

What are we recovering from? Are we O&G supplicants hoping that the world will continue consuming carbon based fuels like there is no Kyoto Protocol?

Dateline 2021-12-28, Reuters:

Malaysia’s state energy firm Petronas said on Tuesday that it anticipates recovery in oil demand from the impact of the coronavirus pandemic to remain fragile and uncertain in the next few years.

The industry was optimistic about economic recovery but remained cautious and needed to be ready to face oil price volatility, Petronas said in its activity outlook report for 2022-2024.

“The path towards sustained oil demand recovery remains fragile and uncertain due to the emergence of new COVID-19 variants that trigger fresh waves of lockdowns,” the custodian of Malaysia’s petroleum resources said.
