PETRONAS has long been the dominant player in the Malaysian exploration and production industry. Through its wholly-owned subsidiary PETRONAS Carigali, the company aims to expand its international market share to become one of the top four E&P companies worldwide. Despite limited international exploration success, the company has developed a wide-ranging international portfolio. PETRONAS' upstream growth strategy has historically centred on gas-focused domestic exploration, and on technically challenging themes. These include Floating LNG, North American gas exports, deepwater development, and high-impact international exploration. Sustained low oil prices have brought the company's budget and strategy into focus. It was forced to cut up to US$4.6 billion of capital and operating expenditure in 2016, and expects to cut a further US$11.6 billion out to 2020.
