Report summary
This report investigates the outlook for PETRONAS's MLNG plant and poses some possible avenues forward. Using Wood Mackenzie's proprietary data, we first look at feedgas supply for the next 17 years and, crucially, how much of the undeveloped feedgas contains high levels of carbon dioxide or hydrogen sulphide. We also explore the economics; first comparing project returns and then on a broader scale how Malaysia's fiscal terms will impact. The final section focuses on what could be done, with three possible scenarios imagined and discussed.
