Petronas and Hess have agreed amendments to an existing upstream gas sales agreement for fields offshore Malaysia that cements the value of the US-based company’s North Malay Basin assets. This makes any potential divestment process easier as Hess focuses on its prolific acreage offshore Guyana.

“This gas sales agreement now cements the value of the NMB (North Malay Basin) and lays the groundwork for a sale as Hess needs billions of dollars for Guyana,” a Kuala Lumpur-based industry source told Energy Voice.

Petroliam Nasional Bhd (Petronas) and US-based Hess Corp’s subsidiary Hess Malaysia are said to have agreed to amendments made to their existing upstream gas sales agreement (UGSA) to include the sale and purchase of gas produced from the North Malay Basin (NMB) oil and gas field located offshore Peninsular Malaysia.

In a statement today, Hess Corp said the UGSA governs the sale and delivery of gas from the NMB project to Petronas and helps Hess Corp meet its supply and sale commitments in Peninsular Malaysia.

Zhiyong Zhao, vice president of Hess Asia, said in the statement: “The amended UGSA delivers access to new gas supplies that are critical to Malaysia’s economic prosperity and energy security.”

Hess Malaysia is moving forward with Phase 3 of the North Malay Basin development, with first gas planned for the fourth quarter of 2021.

Hess, which has a collection of gas fields in North Malay Basin in offshore Malaysia and in the Malaysia-Thailand Joint Development Area (JDA) with 50% equal partner Petronas, has not yet decided whether to sell the assets, according to financial and industry sources.
