Dateline 2019-02-08, Sarawak Tribune:
Malaysian oil and gas services and equipment (OGSE) companies must diversify their businesses to remain competitive amidst signs of greater market volatility in 2019, said Malaysia Petroleum Resources Corporation (MPRC).
Deputy chief executive officer Mohd Yazid Ja’afar said while oil prices had risen since the beginning of the year, concerns about a supply glut and weakness in the global economy would keep prices on a tight leash, as evident from the general cautiousness of global oil companies and their continuous push for cost efficiencies.

For the historical record.

Malaysia Petroleum Resources Corp (MPRC) will collaborate with the Sarawak state government on the latter’s move to assume control of its oil and gas (O&G) rights from Petroliam Nasional Bhd (Petronas).
MPRC stated it would also engage with the relevant parties including Petroleum Sarawak Bhd (Petros) on how local O&G service and equipment players are to proceed once the takeover move and new rulings come into effect on July 1 this year.
“We will update industry players once there is further clarity on the regulatory structure and how local O&G service and equipment companies could be impacted by the changes,” MPRC stated in its response to a query by The Malaysian Reserve (TMR) on the latest status of the move by the Sarawak state government.
Following prospective amendments to the Oil Mining Ordinance 1958 and Gas Distribution Ordinance 2016, companies involved in Sarawak’s O&G industry will be required to obtain the necessary licences and leases from the state government.

With the current temporary rise in the crude oil prices – strengthening since the start of 2018, it will be unlikely for the prices to revert to the heady days of USD$100 per barrel, evident from the cautious response of global oil companies.
As such, Malaysian Petroleum Resources Corporation (MPRC) chief executive officer Datuk Shahrol Halmi said Malaysia oil and gas services and equipment (OGSE) companies should not slow their momentum or lose focus on raising their competitiveness.
“To be more competitive, local OGSE companies should focus on providing economies of scale and integrated solutions,own technologies, employ quality talent, and possess export capabilities,” he said in media briefing recently.
The media briefing was held to share the latest MPRC100 rankings and industry analysis for the financial year ended 2016.

Yeah, pay us little fish at higher rates, then we can get excited together. And don’t swallow.
Dateline 2017-01-23, The Edge:
Malaysia Petroleum Resources Corp Bhd (MPRC) said oil and gas (O&G) support service providers should not be “overexcited” about the recent rise in crude oil prices above US$70 a barrel. This is because prices of the commodity are still expected to be volatile.
MPRC, an agency reporting to the Prime Minister’s Department, was established to develop the O&G services and equipment (OGSE) industry in Malaysia. MPRC president Datuk Shahrol Halmi said OGSE companies should continue keeping an eye on efficiency in order to address cost while protecting profit margin through implementation of new technologies or integrated solutions.
“The interest in O&G companies is [returning] quite a bit, especially after the Petronas Activity Outlook (2018-2020 report) came out, and after Petronas contract awards recently. [But] the key point to note here is that one swallow does not make a spring.

Despite tabling a fiscally prudent budget, the Government continues to prioritise and invest in critical capacity building initiatives for various industries.
With global oil and gas development activities expected to increase, following a couple of years of reduction spending, the export push set forth by the Government augurs well for the oil and gas services and equipment (OGSE) companies intending to capitalise on the pick-up in investment cycle.
With this, the Malaysia Petroleum Resources Corporation (MPRC) further said combined with a continuous push to attract OGSE multinational companies to establish Malaysia as their gateway to the region, the country is well on its way to becoming the number one hub in Asia Pacific for OGSE.
OGSE has a key role to play in the push towards becoming a high-income status nation.
