Sarawak premier Abang Johari Openg said Petros had been in discussions for more than a year with Norwegian energy infrastructure company Höegh Evi to develop, own and operate the Kuching LNG terminal.

PETALING JAYA: Sarawak premier Abang Johari Openg has given an undetaking that the growing role of the state oil company Petros in Sarawak’s gas sector is not aimed at displacing Petronas.

He said the state government remains committed to working with Petronas, even as it increases its capacity to process Sarawak’s resources and develops the state’s first liquefied natural gas (LNG) regasification facility by 2029.

“Many people say I want to kill Petronas, or that Petros will undermine Petronas. That is simply not true. We share opportunities with Petronas,” he was quoted by Dayak Daily as saying in Mukah today.
