Sarawak Well On Gas Roadmap, Abg Jo
KUCHING: Today, the State through Petros realises firm progress towards the Sarawak Gas Roadmap (SGR) with the signing of the MOU with Petronas for an access to an increase in supply of domestic natural gas to realise projects identified under the SGR.
The MOU will provide Sarawak access of up to 1200 mmscf/d from the current 450 mmscf/d by 2030 for the implementation of identified projects under the SGR, Chief Minister Datuk Patinggi Abang Haji Zohari Tun Openg said today.
“This is a step change achievement – a supply increase of over 250%. Securing Sarawak’s Resources for Sarawak’s Progress,” he said when officiating at the ceremony.
He said on 7 December 2020, the State Government and PETRONAS entered into a Commercial Settlement Agreement (“CSA”) which sets out the principles for Greater Sarawak Participation, enabling greater revenue share and affording opportunities to derive equitable economic benefits from our oil and gas.
“Within this agreement, we have defined an operational Consultative Framework by which PETROS, key State Agencies and PETRONAS meet to implement the CSA‘s intent.
“Among other equitable arrangements, the CSA envisages the formation and implementation of a comprehensive Gas Masterplan for the State of Sarawak.
“Our 10-year Sarawak Gas Roadmap – or SGR, is designed to realise the full potential of our abundant gas resources aimed at achieving Sarawak Vision 2030, contributing towards a 10% growth in GDP and creating thousands of “high income” job opportunities,” he said.
The SGR envisages implementation of broad economic activities in the period to 2030 from the development of additional power generation, petrochemical industries to re-shaping the landscape of downstream businesses within Sarawak, centred upon four strategic demand hubs spanning the State.
Chairman of Petronas, Tan Sri Mohd Bakke Salleh also spoke.
