Malaysia’s state energy firm Petronas said on Monday it would work with JX Nippon Oil & Gas Exploration Corp on a joint proposal to monetise gas potential in the Bujang, Inas, Guling, Sepat and Tujoh (BIGST) fields located off the shores of peninsular Malaysia.

The BIGST fields are located off Kerteh, Terengganu in eastern Malaysia, Petronas said.

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology will be key to monetising the fields as they contain high carbon dioxide, Petronas said, adding that it will be the first CCS project in Peninsular Malaysia.

Malaysia’s national oil firm, Petronas, will offer next month its first cargo of Sepat sweet crude to load in May as it starts production from marginal oilfields to reverse declining output, industry sources said today.

The producer plans to offer 250,000 barrels of the crude every month, they said.

The Sepat field, offshore East Malaysia, came on stream late last year and production has peaked at 8,800 barrels per day, a source said.
