Petronas Steps Up Efforts to Tap Malaysia's Sour Gas Fields

摘要

Malaysia's state-owned Petronas has signed agreements with four service providers to help it develop sour gas fields with high levels of carbon dioxide (CO2), beginning with a pilot project at the K5 discovery off the eastern state of Sarawak that could cost up to $1 billion. The developments are part of Petronas' efforts to boost Malaysia’s flagging natural gas production and bolster its LNG supplier status amid an emerging domestic gas shortage.
