Highlight: PetGas 4Q profit jumps 33% y-o-y to RM394m

March 15, 2014

Does The Edge website purposely make it had to use the c-C and c-V commands?

Dateline 2014-02-10, The Edge:

Petronas Gas Bhd (PetGas)’s net profit jumped 33% year-on-year (y-o-y) to RM394 million in the fourth quarter ended Dec 31, 2013, from RM295 million in the fourth quarter of 2012.

Revenue also rose 13% y-o-y to RM1.028 billion, from RM909 million.

The company proposed a final dividend of 40 sen per ordinary share under a single tier system for the financial year ended Dec 31, 2013. This amounts to RM791 million.

In a statement to Bursa Malaysia, PetGas said the profit increase was in line with the increase in revenue. In addition, there was higher other income and share of profit from associate and joint ventures.

The firm also said its larger profit was due to lower tax expense resulting from a change in deferred tax estimates. This came on the back of a lower future statutory tax rate.

PetGas said its revenue increase was largely due to regasification revenue. This followed commencement of the LNG Regasification Terminal operations in the second quarter last year and higher gas transportation revenue.

From the Sun – OSK cuts profit forecast for PETRONAS Gas

January 28, 2011

And this is the latest article where the BeC fire is mentioned:

Dateline 2011-01-21:

OSK Research has warned that Petronas Gas Bhd’s profits for the second half of its financial year ending March 31, 2011 (FY11) were unlikely to match its stellar first-half performance as a result of the Bekok C gas platform fire, offshore Terengganu, in December.

Due to the loss of some 5% of gas supply from Bekok which would affect its gas processing and transmission revenue as well as revenue from extracting propane and butane, OSK Research cut its net profit forecast for Petronas Gas by 0.4% for FY11, 3% for FY12 and 1.4% for FY13, which in turn reduced its target price slightly to RM13.54 from RM13.65.


From Upstream Online – Malaysia works on first LNG terminal

July 31, 2010

A new skill to pick up fast. LNG importing and regasification will be important to the Semenanjung soon. I guess we’ll see a new influx of foreign engineers (Japanese?) to run the show. Or since MMC claims that PGB is its subsidiary, will we see them calling the shots? BTW, why is the Petronas Gas site a .com site, not a .com.my one?

Dateline 2010-07-23:

Petronas Gas expects to complete a study on the proposed construction of Malaysia’s first liquefied natural gas import terminal before the end of the 2010.

Chairman Wan Zulkiflee Wan Ariffin said the installed capacity of the plant is about 3.5 million tonnes (139 million cubic feet) per annum.

Petronas Gas is open to the possiblity of any third party, other than Petronas, which wanted to bring in gas into the country to meet shortage in supply, Wan Zulkiflee told reporters.
