Malaysia upstream summary
Report summary
Malaysia remains the second-largest oil and gas producer in Southeast Asia. It is home to some of the largest sour gas discoveries in the region. Several CCS projects are underway such as Kasawari and Rosmari/Majoram to commercialize the sour gas. Recently, there is a recent uptick in exploration and M&A activities in the country, driven by fiscal changes and block offerings.
