Historically…
First significant gas discovery of offshore Peninsular Malaysia was the Duyong field in 1978
Other significant finds and development include Lawit, Jerneh and Angsi
A l t d i f t t d l d d d f i dAs more gas-related infrastructures were developed, demand for gas increased subsequently
PGU project approved in 1981 with first gas in on 1 August 1984
PGU fully completed in 2001, total length of 2,500km
Today, lesser finds are being developed to meet demandy, g p

As we are aware, Malaysia gas industry is facing many challenges…
Supply side
Depleting domestic productions due to high decline rates
Over-stretching of the supply system has led to frequent supply interruptions due to reduced reliabilities
Technically and commercially challenging new fields
Expensive piped gas imports due to exporting countries’ decreasing production and own domestic market obligation (DMO)
LNG imports required to address supply shortfall and increasing demand
Demand
ffInappropriately priced gas has created unsustainably high demand and inefficient usage

A holistic approach is being undertaken by the Government and PETRONAS to reform the gas market
Policies Infrastructure SupplyPolicies
• Reform domestic gas pricing
Infrastructure
• Ensure infrastructure readiness (RGTs, additional pipeline
pp y
• Intensify domestic E&P
• Optimized and sustainable fuel mix
• Effective regulatory body
additional pipeline from MTJDA)
• Provision for 3rd
party access for
• Secure LNG supplies
yPGU and RGT
SECURITY OF SUPPLY
Henceforth, LNG imports will become a permanent and prominent p p pfeature in the supply mix

Way forward
• Malaysia need to move towards a sustainable economic model that competes on the basis of efficiency, productivity and innovation rather than on low price of natural resources
• Reforming the market requires holistic and disciplined efforts by all stakeholders
• Gas, being a premium fuel, can be better used for higher value adding economic activities
