Can exploration keep Asia’s LNG plants full?
Report summary
Two of the oldest LNG plants in Asia, Malaysia LNG in Bintulu and Brunei LNG, are on very different trajectories. The existing foundation feeder fields for both plants are in decline and until recently the remaining undeveloped resource was either high in CO2 (Sarawak) or stranded in deepwater (Brunei). But Malaysia appears to have turned that around, reaping a bumper harvest of new gas discoveries following fiscal enhancements and aggressive block licencing. But this also brings new challenges. Brunei faces different issues with its supply outlook, and we analyse its exploration potential and how it can improve its fiscal terms to monetise challenging deepwater fields.
