Exxon Mobil Corp has agreed to sell its Malaysian oil and gas assets to Petronas, the state energy firm, after being a dominant player in the country’s upstream sector for over a century. This move comes as part of Exxon’s strategy to focus on oil production in the Americas, and it has been trying to sell its ageing assets in Malaysia since 2020. Petronas will take over operations of Exxon’s assets, including the flagship Tapis oilfield in Terengganu, which began production in 1978. The deal will also see Exxon’s staff transferred to Petronas.

Petronas has confirmed that discussions with ExxonMobil Exploration and Production Malaysia Inc are ongoing regarding the transfer of operations for two production-sharing contracts located offshore Peninsular Malaysia. The terms of the deal, including the financial details, are not yet known. Despite the sale of its Malaysian assets, Exxon remains a significant energy producer in the country, contributing a significant portion to Peninsular Malaysia’s crude oil and natural gas production. The company operates multiple oil and gas platforms in Terengganu and the South China Sea, producing a large share of Malaysia’s crude oil and natural gas.

ExxonMobil did not respond to requests for comment on the deal with Petronas. It is expected that further agreements between the two parties will be finalized in the coming months. In a statement, Petronas emphasized its commitment to safe operations and ensuring reliable energy supply for customers throughout the transition process. The sale of Exxon’s Malaysian assets marks a significant shift in the country’s energy sector, with Petronas expanding its operations in the upstream sector.

The transfer of Exxon’s assets to Petronas is part of a larger trend in the oil and gas industry, with major companies reevaluating their portfolios and focusing on more profitable regions. Exxon’s decision to sell its Malaysian assets is in line with its strategy to streamline operations and prioritize investments in more lucrative assets. The sale of the Tapis oilfield, one of the oldest and most significant assets in Malaysia, signifies a new chapter for both Exxon and Petronas in the country’s energy sector.

The deal between Exxon and Petronas signifies a significant development in the Malaysian energy sector, with Petronas taking over operations of key assets from the US major. The transition of staff from Exxon to Petronas will further streamline operations and ensure continuity in oil and gas production in the country. The terms of the deal, including the financial details and timeline for the transition, are expected to be finalized in the coming months. Overall, the sale of Exxon’s Malaysian assets marks a strategic move by the company to focus on its core operations and prioritize investments in high-growth regions such as the Americas.

In conclusion, the sale of Exxon’s Malaysian assets to Petronas represents a significant development in the country’s energy sector. The deal highlights the shifting dynamics in the global oil and gas industry, with major companies like Exxon reevaluating their portfolios and focusing on more profitable regions. The takeover of Exxon’s assets by Petronas will have a significant impact on the Malaysian energy sector, with implications for oil and gas production in the country. As the two companies work towards finalizing the deal, the future of Malaysia’s upstream sector remains uncertain, but the sale of Exxon’s assets marks a new chapter in the industry’s evolution.
