PETALING JAYA:

National oil and gas firm Petronas and Sarawak-owned Petros are working together to explore potential natural gas resources in the Lundu-Balingian geological belt.

Premier Abang Johari Openg said both parties will share the benefits once the resources are commercialised, the Borneo Post reported.

“Petros and Petronas are still in discussions. They will both benefit from it and share everything,” he was quoted as saying.

Abang Johari said geological studies had revealed the presence of natural gas resources in western Sarawak.

However, he did not disclose the estimated size of the reserves or the timeline for exploration and possible commercialisation. - FMT
