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.

Malaysia’s Pegaga field may start gas output in January

February 22, 2022

Dateline 2021-12-16, Argus Media:

Malaysia’s state-owned Petronas may be targeting a 20 January start to production at its Pegaga gas field offshore Sarawak, after the detection of high mercury levels at the field in September delayed the start to operations.

Petronas has set up an interim mercury unit (MRU) at the Pegaga field and will likely start commissioning the unit on 16 December, it told some term offtakers of the 30mn t/yr Bintulu plant early this week. This is in advance of earlier expectations that the MRU would be fixed in the middle of January. The Pegaga gas field supplies feedstock gas to the Bintulu liquefaction and export project.

Malaysia’s Petronas faces gas test in move to net zero

February 20, 2022

Dateline 2021-12-27, Argus Media:

Malaysia’s state-owned Petronas’ decision about how to move forward with its gas supplies after announcing a 2050 net-zero target has been complicated by current high spot LNG prices.

The firm’s net-zero plan includes hydrogen as a crucial step. It said blue hydrogen offers a way to monetise the 1.5 trillion m³ of shale gas reserves it owns as part of a joint venture in Canada. But current “spectacular” LNG prices are complicating the picture. “There’s this energy transition going on… but now LNG is looking beautiful. The price is spectacular,” Petronas’ hydrogen business head Adlan Ahmad said.


Petronas to raise supply of natural gas to Sarawak

February 18, 2022

Wasn’t this more like, PETRONAS needed someone to buy the gas, and found a patsy?

Dateline 2021-12-13, The Star:

Petroliam Nasional Bhd (Petronas) will raise the supply of natural gas to Sarawak by more than 250%, or up to 1,200 mmscf (million standard cubic feet) per day from the current 450 mmscf per day to support the implementation of projects under the Sarawak Gas Roadmap (SGR).

Chairman Tan Sri Mohd Bakke Salleh said the staggered increase in the natural gas supply would not only support Sarawak’s aspiration to attract investments from new, higher value-adding industries into the state but also provide the necessary impetus for further downstream exploration that would strengthen the state’s hydrocarbon resource base.
