Dateline 2021-05-31, ICIS:
Malaysia will go on a nationwide lockdown for two weeks from 1 June, but petrochemical production will continue and is likely be spared from any major disruption given its classification as an essential sector.
For some local downstream plastic manufacturers, however, the lockdown may cause a manpower crunch.
The lockdown was announced on 28 May, following a sharp rise in new coronavirus cases in the country, with only essential economic sectors and services allowed to operate.
“This decision was made after taking into account the current situation of the COVID-19 outbreak in Malaysia, with daily cases surpassing 8,000 and over 70,000 active cases,” Malaysian Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin said.
The country reported five straight days of record hikes in coronavirus cases, with overall infections at more than 565,500 with 2,729 deaths as of 30 May, according to health ministry data.

It says offshore supply vessels, but not obvious in the text. Clickbait?
Dateline 2021-05-27, Manifold Times:
The Malaysia Maritime Enforcement Agency (MMEA, or Malaysian Maritime) on Tuesday (25 May) said it has arrested two offshore supply vessels over an illegal ship-to-ship (STS) oil transfer operation at the waters around Kemaman port.
A MMEA patrol boat detected the two ships approaching each other in a suspicious condition around 3.4 nautical miles from Kuala Kemaman and an arrest was made to the parties at 11.30am (local time) on Monday, said Kemaman Maritime Zone Director, Maritime Commander Rashidilhadi bin Abd Rashid.

There’s a Malaysian twist here, just hold your horses.
Dateline 2021-05-21, Oilprice:
China has announced that it will impose taxes on heavy sour crude, a move that could hit Venezuela hard as it continues to struggle with U.S. sanctions and a dilapidated oil industry. Media reports suggest as many as 400,000 bpd of Venezuelan oil could be orphaned as new Chinese tax laws make it impossible for the country to export its crude to Asia. New regulations expected to come into place on June 12 would make the profit margins on Venezuelan oil too low to warrant its current export route.
Venezuela has not been exporting oil directly to China since 2019, largely due to the U.S. sanctions that continue to restrict the country’s oil exportation. However, China has been importing Venezuelan oil via Malaysian refineries, where it is mixed with fuel oil or bitumen before continuing on to China. China’s new rules could add around $30 per barrel to this “diluted bitumen”, making it economically inviable. Light cycle oil (LCO) and mixed aromatics will also be taxed under the new scheme.

Dateline 2021-005-18, Upstream Online:
Thailand’s national upstream PTTEP as early as next week is set to spud the Mak Yong wildcat offshore Sarawak, part of its 2021 exploration and appraisal drilling campaign in Malaysia that has already come up trumps on several wells.
The Mak Yong-1 exploration well on shallow-water Block SK 438 will be drilled by the Borr Gunnlod, one of two jack-up rigs it has on charter from Norway’s Borr Drilling.
PTTEP last month completed the tight Kulintang-1 probe on the same block before moving Borr Gunnlod to the Pemanis field, part of the operator’s blocks SK 309 and SK 311 phased gas fields development.
