Australia’s ROC Oil Co Ltd is keen to bid for more Malaysian projects after clinching a deal to develop the Balai cluster marginal oilfield, offshore Sarawak, with partners Dialog Group Bhd and Petronas Carigali Sdn Bhd.

ROC general manager for corporate affairs and planning Mathew Gerber said Balai is an initial entry and the company aims to increase its presence in Malaysia’s oil and gas sector, if given the opportunity.

“We have a lot more to offer,” he said, adding that the project award is a vote of confidence in ROC’s abilities as an operator of small fields.
