Dateline 2022-02-07, NST:
Seventy per cent of the liquefied natural gas (LNG) supply in Malaysia comes from Sarawak, and yet the state only consumes less than five per cent of the country’s total production.
Chief Minister Tan Sri Abang Johari Openg said there was a pressing need to intensify localisation of gas supply and utilisation to further industrialise Sarawak in the next five to 10 years in order to increase high value downstream economic activities in the state.
“At the same time, we are also exploring new oil and gas blocks onshore and offshore to ensure volume is available for Sarawak’s journey towards industrialisation.”

Malaysia’s state-owned Petronas has delayed the installation of an interim mercury removal unit (MRU) at the Pegaga gas field offshore Sarawak to 21 December because of stormy weather, according to some term offtakers of the 30mn t/yr Bintulu liquefaction and export project.

Wasn’t this more like, PETRONAS needed someone to buy the gas, and found a patsy?
Dateline 2021-12-13, The Star:
Petroliam Nasional Bhd (Petronas) will raise the supply of natural gas to Sarawak by more than 250%, or up to 1,200 mmscf (million standard cubic feet) per day from the current 450 mmscf per day to support the implementation of projects under the Sarawak Gas Roadmap (SGR).
Chairman Tan Sri Mohd Bakke Salleh said the staggered increase in the natural gas supply would not only support Sarawak’s aspiration to attract investments from new, higher value-adding industries into the state but also provide the necessary impetus for further downstream exploration that would strengthen the state’s hydrocarbon resource base.
