Oil & Gas Services and Equipment: A Hub for Growth and Innovation

Since 1974, Malaysia has produced 9 billion barrels of oil and 50 trillion cubic feet of gas, and today, it generates 660,000 barrels of liquids and approximately 7 billion cubic feet of gas per day. With over 17 billion barrels of oil equivalent in remaining commercial reserves, primarily gas, Malaysia remains a vital energy hub in Southeast Asia.

The country’s oil and gas sector is committed to a sustainable future, with a focus on achieving Net Zero Carbon Emissions by 2050. As the industry transitions to lower-cost, lower-carbon solutions, Malaysia offers significant opportunities for businesses in oil and gas services and equipment, particularly in upstream exploration, LNG bunkering, and cleaner energy initiatives.

Strategically located at the crossroads of east-west shipping lanes and with strong economic ties to its regional neighbors, Malaysia’s oil and gas industry continues to be a cornerstone of the nation’s economic growth. Contributing around 20% to Malaysia’s annual GDP, this dynamic sector offers a wealth of opportunities across both upstream and downstream activities.

In the upstream segment, service providers are poised to capitalize on significant growth opportunities by leveraging cutting-edge technologies and expertise. As the demand for enhanced efficiency and innovation rises, businesses in this space are focused on delivering essential products and services while adhering to rigorous Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) standards.

Meanwhile, the downstream sector presents exciting prospects in the transition towards cleaner energy. Opportunities abound in areas such as biofuels production, Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) bunkering, and the manufacturing of specialty chemicals and derivatives, all of which are vital to the industry’s move towards more sustainable practices.
