Analyst warns Petros replacing Petronas as gas aggregator could destabilise system

September 11, 2025

Dateline 2025-09-08, Malay Mail:

PETALING JAYA, Sept 8 — Oil and gas analyst Jamil A Ghani has cautioned that Sarawak’s push for its state-owned firm Petros to take over from Petronas as Malaysia’s sole gas aggregator could pose risks to the country’s energy system.

He said the aggregator’s role was crucial as it determined whether gas resources would fuel local industries or be exported abroad as liquefied natural gas (LNG).

“Though technical, the aggregator’s role is powerful. It buys gas from upstream producers and resells it to downstream users. This effectively shapes whether gas fuels Sarawak’s industries or is exported abroad as liquefied natural gas (LNG).
