The state government will continue to strengthen Petroleum Sarawak Berhad (Petros) in spearheading Sarawak’s enhanced involvement in the oil and gas industry, said Chief Minister Tan Sri Abang Johari Openg today.
He said that this is being done through assuming regulatory control of onshore mining, enforcing Sarawak’s constitutional authority over the distribution of gas and increasing Petros’ participation in offshore petroleum production areas.
“A key enabler is access by the state for adequate natural gas supplies needed to drive the state’s industrial development agenda,” he said when speaking at the Memorandum of Understanding signing between Petroliam Nasional Berhad (Petronas) and Petros for the Revised Total Natural Gas Supply to Sarawak for the implementation of projects under the Sarawak Gas Roadmap (SGR).

The eastern Malaysian state of Sarawak, home to the country’s liquefied natural gas (LNG) export complex, has awarded its first onshore block to Petra Energy and Uzma, as it hopes to revitalise its onshore oil and gas industry after taking regulatory control from the federal government.
Malaysia’s Petra Energy will operate Block SK433 on behalf of joint venture partner Uzma following the award by state-energy company Petroleum Sarawak (PETROS). Block SK433 covers the Miri-Marudi area in Northern Sarawak. It also holds a discovery, Adong Kecil.
In a statement Friday, the Sarawak Chief Minister’s Office (CMO) said the award was the result of a competitive bidding exercise that was managed by PETROS since January this year.
The CMO said this marks a significant milestone for Sarawak as it looks forward to the resumption of active exploration and production activities onshore.
