OGA 2025 Returns as Southeast Asia’s Energy Powerhouse

September 2, 2025

Dateline 2025-09-01, The Edge Malaysia:

KUALA LUMPUR – The stage is set for the 21st edition of Oil & Gas Asia (OGA) 2025, Southeast Asia’s premier energy trade platform, returning with a sold-out exhibition at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre from 2 – 4 September 2025. With over 2,000 local and international brands across seven halls spanning 20,000 sqm, embodying its powerful theme: “Powering Progress, Shaping Tomorrow”.

Organised by Informa Markets Malaysia, OGA 2025 will once again unite thousands of global energy professionals to accelerate business growth, forge strategic partnerships, and deliver forward-looking insights into technologies and trends shaping the region’s energy future.

This year’s edition comes at a pivotal moment. Under Malaysia’s chairmanship, ASEAN is intensifying its energy agenda from the ASEAN Power Grid and renewable energy adoption to a five-year regional cooperation plan. With the bloc expected to drive 25% of global energy demand growth, the stakes are high. Offshore gas markets are also surging towards a US$100 billion valuation, led by fresh investments in Malaysia and Indonesia.

Petronas-Petros dispute dims Dayang’s earnings outlook

August 31, 2025

Dateline 2025-08-25, Free Malaysia Today:

PETALING JAYA: Research houses are pessimistic on Dayang Enterprise Holdings Bhd’s earnings outlook because of the Petronas-Petroleum Sarawak Bhd (Petros) dispute.

The Sarawak-based oil and gas (O&G) services provider is already facing some fallout from the uncertainties arising from the impasse. Its net profit for the second quarter ended June 30 (Q2 FY2025) plunged 41.7% to RM76.6 million from RM131.4 million a year ago.

Q2 revenue tumbled 41.4% to RM267.4 million from RM455.8 million a year earlier. The drop off was attributed to lower vessel utilisation rates caused by a delay in oil majors’ contract commencement.
