The company’s report: Global Offshore Upstream Development Outlook, 2021–2025 reveals that 2 bln ft3 of natural gas production in Malaysia in 2025 is expected from planned projects with identified development plans, while 1 bln ft3 is expected from early-stage announced projects that are undergoing conceptual studies and are expected to get approval for development.
A total of 19 natural gas projects are expected to start operations in Malaysia during 2021-2025.
Of these, Kasawari, Jerun and B14 are some of the key projects that are expected to collectively contribute about 50% of the natural gas production in the country in 2025.

- The oil & gas industry has seen trends shifting towards the need for power sustainability, supported by impacts of the pandemic and governments globally contending with environmental and economic issues
- Key themes including renewable energy, decarbonisation and clean energy mean that natural gas projects will provide high valued opportunities in the short to mid-term
