This is due to the vision and commitment of its leaders in ensuring sound and effective economic measures that have spearheaded the country to its present form and standing in the region and the world. MPRC Corporate Report 2013 With its strategic location and excellent infrastructure, Malaysia clearly possesses a dynamic economic status in Southeast Asia. With this in mind, the Government is confident that the country would be able to achieve its aspiration to become a high income advanced nation by 2020. 2 The Malaysian Oil, Gas and Energy (OGE) sector is an essential driving force for the nation's economy, contributing about a fifth of the country's Gross National Income (GNI) annually which is equivalent to about RM127 billion. This clearly reflects the increasingly significant role this sector has to play as we approach 2020. This is why the Economic Transformation Programme (ETP) was formulated as part of the National Transformation Programme incorporating bold, radical and speedy measures to help the country achieve this objective. The Oil, Gas and Energy (OGE) National Key Economic Area (NKEA) is one of the 12 NKEAs under the ETP and is targeting to maintain the sector's share of GDP contribution by keeping pace with a five percent annual growth for the sector from 2010 to 2020. By doing so, the sector's GDP contribution needs to increase to RM241 billion by 2020, a truly ambitious but not impossible goal. The OGE NKEA is also expected to deliver an additional 52,300 jobs in this sector. The OGE NKEA has identified 13 Entry Point Projects (EPPs) that are expected to generate RM47.1 billion to GNI while RM61.2 billion will come from business opportunities and baseline growth. The remaining RM23.1 billion will come from other supporting initiatives within the sector. Malaysia Petroleum Resources Corporation (MPRC) was established and mandated to fill the current gap in the oil and gas industry. It is tasked to promote, catalyse and transform the oil and gas services and manufacturing sector to become a stronger entity in the industry. Five EPPs within the OGE NKEA come directly under the purview of MPRC. The ultimate goal is to position Malaysia as the number one oil and gas hub in the Asia Pacific region. MPRC identifies and capitalises on growth opportunities in the upstream and downstream oil and gas segments to encourage investments. It also collaborates and promotes partnerships and joint-ventures between local companies and global MNCs and helps develop sufficient quality human capital by facilitating interactions between industry, research institutions and academia. As a nation, our transformation journey has already brought many changes and developments that have benefited businesses and citizens. However, we still have a long trail ahead of us fraught with all kinds of challenges. There is no doubt that we have done well and achieved much but there is still more that needs to be done. We must continue to work hard before being able to reap the reward of becoming a high income nation by 2020. I would like to take this opportunity to express my appreciation to the entire team of MPRC for their dedication and hard work in creating additional value to the oil and gas industry which is among the mainstay of the Malaysian economy. 1Malaysia "People First, Performance Now" Yang Amat Berhormat Dato’ Sri Mohd Najib bin Tun Haji Abdul Razak Prime Minister of Malaysia Message from the Prime Minister Under the management and direction of the national petroleum company, PETRONAS, the domestic oil and gas industry has played a crucial role in the country's economic growth. However, after decades of oil and gas production, our domestic resources is declining and we are developing smaller fields in harder to access locations as the era of cheap oil is over. To prepare for this, Malaysia has to strengthen other value-creating oil and gas activities and ensure that we have a sustainable energy platform for future Malaysia. 3 MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN Malaysia is well-positioned to reap economic benefits from the increased demand for oil and gas locally and globally given its excellent location, close proximity and increasing economic inter-linkages to global energy consumers in the Asia MPRC Corporate Report 2013 Pacific region. 4 Additionally, Malaysian oil and gas companies have the capabilities and experience to provide multi-disciplinary services that include process design, mechanical and piping design, structural and civil design, electrical and instrumentation, oil rigs engineering and fabrication, welding and pipe threading, and environmental management which involves sludge management, removal and treatment. With this extensive combination of factors, the Malaysian Oil, Gas and Energy (OGE) sector is set to soar to greater heights. It has already surpassed most first-year targets of the Economic Transformation Programme (ETP) with the country’s total Key Performance Index (KPI) hitting 97 percent. Malaysia Petroleum Resources Corporation (MPRC) was established just over two years ago with the vision of creating a dynamic and progressive oil and gas services and manufacturing industry in Malaysia where companies can compete and grow in this exciting business. This is MPRC’s inaugural report on its activities and achievements to this end. MPRC is driving trans-generational changes in Malaysia to ensure that we can achieve our goal of making the country a centre for oil and gas services and manufacturing activities in the Asia Pacific region. Our efforts in the region are not merely focused on raising our production or reserves, but also on how we expand and grow the oil and gas services and manufacturing focus areas. MPRC has achieved much over the past couple of years. Some of its commendable efforts include working closely with government agencies such as the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI), Ministry of Finance (MOF), Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA), Malaysian External Trade Development Corporation (MATRADE), state Governments and regional economic corridor authorities to encourage private investments, formulate solutions to address investor issues as well as tracking the development of major projects. MPRC has been instrumental in engaging with industry via strong associations with industry bodies such as the Malaysian Oil and Gas Engineering Council (MOGEC), the Malaysian Offshore Constructors Association (MOCA), the Malaysian Oil & Gas Services Council (MOGSC), the Malaysian Offshore Vessel Owners Association (MOSVA) and the Institute of Materials Management (IMM). MPRC has also actively built international linkages with associations from various countries such as UK Trade and Investment (UKTI), Scottish Development International (SDI), the Energy Industries Council (EIC), Greater Stavanger Economic Development and the Korea TradeInvestment Promotion Agency (KOTRA) among others. With these linkages, we hope that more collaboration and business opportunities could be derived to benefit the industry at large. To ensure better access to funds, MPRC has worked with Bank Negara Malaysia to facilitate talks between the banking sector and the oil and gas companies. MPRC also organised talks with Malaysia Technology Development Corporation (MTDC) to facilitate industry understanding on available grants. In response to industry needs for human capital, MPRC has worked closely with the Ministry of Education (MoE) via its Industry Centre of Excellence (ICoE) programme. To this end, MPRC has been promoting more university-industry linkages and has participated in many forums to drive students' interest in joining the industry. Promoting local industries abroad and finding potential business opportunities is important in deriving the industry’s economic growth. MPRC has worked very closely with MIDA and MATRADE in attending conferences and exhibitions such as Offshore Technology Conference (OTC) and Offshore Northern Seas (ONS) while also organising marketing missions to other countries. MPRC’s Global Incentives For Trading (GIFT) programme is an initiative aimed at petroleum and petroleum-trading companies to consider Malaysia as an alternative location for their trading and storage base. To leverage the GIFT programme and its transformational role in generating GDP growth, new business opportunities, creating jobs and increasing revenues, the Government has opened up GIFT to include other products such as minerals, chemicals, agricultural goods and liquefied natural gas (LNG) in 2013. Being in the oil and gas industry goes beyond just having relevant academic qualifications. Integrity, ownership and responsibility are imperative in this field. The upstream and downstream sectors need to perform at their very best because everyone else in the equation will be counting on them. These factors shape the unique and competitive business that drives our economy which in turn will accelerate MPRC’s success and the growth of the oil and gas sector. I would like to thank all our stakeholders for their close cooperation with the support of MPRC and the oil, gas and energy industry at large. These are early days and there is much that needs to be accomplished to reach our goal of becoming the top oil and gas hub in the Asia Pacific region. YB Senator Dato’ Sri Idris Jala Chairman, MPRC Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Message from the Chairman Through this expansion, we can create new jobs, endow our people with new skills and capabilities, generate additional business opportunities and attract more companies to invest in Malaysia. The benefits of growing the oil and gas industry have a positive spill-over effect on other ancillary industries and economic sectors in the country. 5 MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT/CEO S i n ce t h e i n ce p t i o n of Malaysia Petroleum Resources Corporation (MPRC) in April 2011, the agency has made important strides in achieving its mandate. I am delighted to share with you the inaugural MPRC performance report. 2013 milestones MPRC Corporate Report 2013 As of 2013, MPRC has assisted in generating a total of RM3.49 billion worth of investments in oil and gas (O&G) storage. A further RM3.52 billion worth of investments were attracted in O&G services. 6 MPRC helped to strengthen and expand collaborations between industry players, government agencies and other institutions. To secure a human capital pipeline for O&G services and manufacturing, MPRC increased the number of universities actively engaged with the O&G industry to 11, up from two in the previous year. MPRC organised the Oil and Gas Funding Forum and other networking sessions to increase the O&G industry’s engagement with Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM), 18 commercial banks and seven development agencies. We also strengthened linkages internationally through government-togovernment (G-to-G) initiatives. To raise Malaysia’s profile on the international stage, MPRC promoted the national Oil & Gas Services and Equipment (OGSE) companies to six countries. We also created the Malaysia Pavilion at the Offshore Technology Conference (OTC) in Houston, Texas and brought OTC Asia to Kuala Lumpur. Through MPRC’s efforts, Kuala Lumpur is on its way to join the World Energy Cities Partnership (WECP). In 2013, a growing number of businesses entered or deepened their involvement in Malaysia’s O&G services and manufacturing sector. A total of 20 trading companies were registered under the GIFT programme, while eight local companies successfully graduated to the international stage. The year also saw five successful joint ventures and the arrival of a multinational corporation (MNC) in Malaysia. The completion of the masterplan for the Pengerang Integrated Petroleum Complex (PIPC) and the Sipitang Oil and Gas Industrial Park (SOGIP) will enable Malaysia to boost investment in the downstream sector. With a resilient economy that grew at 4.7 percent in 2013, Malaysia is well-placed to take advantage of the opportunities ahead. In 2014/2015, MPRC has targeted to increase the contribution of O&G services and manufacturing to Malaysia’s GDP. We also aim to bring more Malaysian O&G companies to provide their services abroad. Malaysia’s visibility on the world stage reaches new milestones in 2014 with our hosting of OTC Asia and Kuala Lumpur’s role as a WECP partner. MPRC will continue with its four strategic thrusts to promote Malaysia as the number one O&G hub in the region. In closing, I want to offer special thanks to Mr. Mohd. Emir Mavani, the previous CEO of MPRC. I wish to thank the members of the Board for their wisdom and insights. I am also thankful for the cooperation and support of our key stakeholders, government agencies and our private sector partners. Finally, I offer my appreciation for the hard work and commitment of MPRC’s staff as we look forward to the year ahead. Thank you. Together, the achievements in 2013 have put Malaysia on course to become the leading regional hub for O&G services and manufacturing. As Malaysia becomes a centre of O&G investment, MPRC’s role in promoting and fostering O&G policies will continue to grow. The five-year period ahead will be a boom time for the O&G industry. PETRONAS is committing to a capital expenditure of USD100 billion in Malaysia and internationally during this period. The industry’s growth stems from a robust investment pipeline and a healthy expansion in the upstream and downstream business.

MPRC’s efforts in all these areas in 2012 and 2013 uncovered many opportunities for future growth. Attracting Domestic and Foreign Investments MPRC Corporate Report 2013 As one of the fastest growing economies in the Asia Pacific region, Malaysia’s flourishing O&G services and manufacturing focus area has created robust market opportunities for businesses in the upstream, midstream and downstream segments. Malaysia already houses a number of domestic and international O&G services players, oil traders and downstream players. MPRC aims to create an attractive and conducive business environment to continuously attract and encourage foreign and domestic investments into Malaysia’s O&G industry. 24 Event Year Successes Created Johor Oil & Gas Cities & Corridors Lab 2011 2012 • Identified Pengerang Integrated Petroleum Complex (PIPC) as a new Entry Point Project (EPP) • Established Johor Petroleum Development Corporation (JPDC) Labuan Oil & Gas Logistics Hub Lab 2012 • Developed blueprint for Labuan to strengthen its position as the O&G logistics hub for the region Sabah Oil & Gas Downstream Development Lab 2012 • Established a high level plan for Sabah state government to develop its O&G downstream sector Sipitang Oil & Gas Industrial Park (SOGIP) Masterplan 2013 • EPP13: Developed masterplan for SOGIP Pengerang Integrated Petroleum Complex (PIPC) Masterplan 2013 • EPP13: Developed masterplan for PIPC At a Glance: Key Development Projects Impact to Industry Attracting Foreign Direct Investments (FDI) and Domestic Direct Investments (DDI) into O&G industrial parks in Malaysia The initial goal of this strategic thrust was to attract major international firms to establish regional operations in Malaysia, especially within technology-intensive Oil & Gas Services and Equipment (OGSE) activities. However, in 2013, the scope was expanded to also encourage investments by Malaysian companies to acquire proprietary technology and capital-intensive assets. One of MPRC’s objectives is to increase the technical expertise of local and foreign companies based in Malaysia. The country offers foreign and domestic investors attractive incentives designed to help them get the most out of its dynamic economy. It is one of the world’s top investment destinations for the O&G sector, attracting more than 5,000 companies from more than 40 countries around the world. Initiatives under this strategic area support the country’s efforts to transform Malaysia into a hub for Oil & Gas Services and Equipment (OGSE) activities. In 2012, MPRC helped secure the exclusive rights to host the Offshore Technology Conference Asia (OTC) in Kuala Lumpur in 2014 and 2016. This event is expected to raise the international profile of Malaysia’s Oil & Gas Services and Equipment (OGSE) industry and help attract large investments from global firms. It will also create significant opportunities for collaboration between Malaysian companies and foreign multinationals.

To this end, MPRC works closely with various agencies to oversee the development of O&G industrial parks in Malaysia: MPRC’s subsidiary Johor Petroleum Development Corporation (JPDC) is the master planner and coordinator of the Pengerang Integrated Petroleum Complex (PIPC) in Johor, while in Sabah, MPRC works with the Sipitang Oil & Gas Development Corporation (SOGDC) to promote the Sipitang Oil & Gas Industrial Park (SOGIP). MPRC Corporate Report 2013 The country’s infrastructure developments in Johor, Sabah and elsewhere began to pay off in 2013 as domestic and foreign investors began to see the many benefits of Malaysia’s regional plans. In 2013, TH Heavy Engineering and McDermott International Inc formalised their joint venture via a share swap arrangement between McDermott Inc’s locally-incorporated Berlian McDermott Sdn Bhd and TH Fabricators Sdn Bhd, a whollyowned subsidiary of TH Heavy Engineering Bhd. The joint venture has created a company with deep technology capabilities and experience in engineering, procurement, installation and commissioning (EPIC) which will help the two partners explore ever more complex O&G projects and markets. Investments into the Oil & Gas Services and Equipment (OGSE) sub-sector from local players also increased in 2013, with UMW Oil & Gas Corporation Berhad acquiring Naga-4, 26 a jack-up drilling rig for RM691 million while Perisai Petroleum Teknologi Berhad exercised its option to buy a second jack-up drilling rig for RM642.7 million. KKB Engineering Berhad also expanded its fabrication capabilities in 2013 to meet the growing demands of the O&G industry (refer to diagram in Summary of Highlights, page 22). These investments represent only a fraction of the total Oil & Gas Services and Equipment (OGSE) investments in 2013, which also saw a steady inflow of foreign direct investments (FDI) from the likes of Petrofac, Schlumberger, Aker, Technip and General Electric. The rapidly-progressing developments of the Pengerang Integrated Petroleum Complex (PIPC) and Sipitang Oil & Gas Industrial Park (SOGIP) industrial parks also attracted several significant investments in 2013 (see box: 'Moving Up the Value Chain', next page). Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar and Dato' Sri Najib Razak looking at the model of the PETRONAS's Refinery and Petrochemical Integrated Development (RAPID) project in Pengerang. Pic by Hairul Anuar Rahim The vibrant oil and gas sector in Malaysia is a result of the aspirations and initiatives of all those involved; the national oil company, PSC contractors, service companies, national bodies and the government itself. By working together with entities such as PETRONAS and MPRC and in-line with our spirit of ‘Beyond Boundaries’, we hope to continue to grow and to play a collaborative role in taking the Malaysian oil and gas industry a step further. Rohaizad Darus President, UMW Oil & Gas Corporation Berhad Moving Up the Value Chain The thrust of EPP 13: Increase Petrochemical Output is PETRONAS’ development of the Refinery and Petrochemical Integrated Development (RAPID) in Johor and the Sabah Ammonia Urea (SAMUR) projects. Together, RAPID and SAMUR involve investments exceeding RM65 billion which aim to increase the country’s petrochemicals output in order to cater to rising demand for premium speciality chemicals within the Asia Pacific region. The Sipitang Oil and Gas Industrial Park (SOGIP) in Sabah is being developed as a premier industrial park focusing on petrochemicals and fertilisers and will house the SAMUR project. It could potentially attract as much as RM10 billion in investments and provide approximately 5,370 direct and indirect employment opportunities. Construction on SOGIP’s 40 MLD water treatment plant began in 2013, and the facility will eventually include a storage reservoir and approximately 11 km of water pipeline. Work has also commenced on the 4.7 km access road to SOGIP from Jalan Sipitang-Sindum, with construction scheduled to be completed by the end of 2014. As of December 2013, the SAMUR project is more than 50 percent complete with the delivery of three gas turbine generators and an ammonia converter for the site’s main off-loading facility (MOLF). The SAMUR project is expected to be on line by 2015. However, more efforts are needed to attract investors into SOGIP, particularly in the manufacturing of petrochemical and fertiliser products such as caprolactam, diammonium phosphate, ammonium sulphate, NPK, urea-formaldehyde and ammonium nitrate. Downstream facilities & petrochemicals Meanwhile, the 20,000 acre Pengerang Integrated Petroleum Complex (PIPC) in Johor will house the RAPID project, which will have a refining capacity of 300,000 barrels per day. The PIPC complex will also house naphta crackers, petrochemical plants, a liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal and a regasification plant. MPRC has established a local subsidiary Johor Petroleum Development Corporation (JPDC) to coordinate the development of the PIPC and to ensure that the various O&G projects within PIPC are managed and administered efficiently. Besides PETRONAS’s RM60 billion RAPID project, the other major project within the PIPC is the RM5 billion Pengerang Deepwater Petroleum Terminal. The joint- View of the jetty structure at DIALOG's Pengerang terminal at PIPC Vopak of Netherlands and Johor State Secretary Incorporated is expected to be operationalised in 2014 and will have a storage capacity for trading of five million cubic metres. The PIPC Master Plan was endorsed by the Johor state government in 2013 and will serve as a blueprint to turn PIPC into a world-class integrated petroleum complex. To ensure that the safety and heritage of Pengerang residents are well preserved, villagers will be relocated to a new township that will have all necessary modern amenities such as schools, a clinic and commercial areas. Site preparations for the RAPID project has commenced in 2013 and is in progress. Fulfilling our Mandates venture among DIALOG Group of Malaysia, 27 Bridging Access to Financial Services Aside from attracting investments into Malaysia's O&G services and manufacturing sector, establishment of clear linkages to finance is important to ensure that the industry players have adequate access to financial services and funding. MPRC works with Bank Negara Malaysia to help the banking sector better understand the O&G services and manufacturing industry and the opportunities within it. MPRC also works with various other government agencies such as Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA), Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation (MATRADE), Malaysian Technology Development Corporation (MTDC), Multimedia Development Corporation (MDeC), Economic Planning Unit (EPU) and Ministry of Finance (MOF) to facilitate discussions on incentives for funding to benefit the industry growth.

The main objectives of the forum were to improve access to financial markets and the borrowing environment and give insights into the various financing options available to O&G companies. It brought together over 250 participants from 18 banks and 118 Malaysian Oil & Gas Services and Equipment (OGSE) companies, and comprised three panel sessions in which panelists shared their experience in contracting and project financing strategies, sourcing funds and O&G financing. MPRC also co-organised the Oil & Gas Industry De br ie f for O &G s e r vice provide r s and manufacturers in cooperation with the Malaysia Technology Development Corporation (MTDC) in 2013. The half-day event attracted 47 Oil & Gas Services and Equipment (OGSE) companies The inaugural Oil & Gas Funding Forum and included an introduction to MTDC and presentations on the Commercialisation of Research & Development Fund, Technology Acquisition Fund, Business Growth Fund and Business Start-Up Fund. The main highlights of the debrief session were the funds and grants available for the development and commercialisation of O&G technologies and the MTDC incubator and technology facility walkabout. Small-and-medium businesses play an important role in the success of any industry. In 2013, MPRC along with SME Corporation Malaysia, Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA) and TERAJU (Unit Peneraju Agenda Bumiputera) facilitated collaboration among various parties to help provide funding and growth opportunities for small-and-medium sized Bumiputera O&G companies. In addition to these local events, MPRC also cohosted a networking business reception with Bank Negara Malaysia during the World Gas Conference in 2012 to connect financiers and O&G service companies. The event attracted more than 200 O&G companies and 30 financial institutions. in some notable achievements, namely the Specialised Marketing Mission to Myanmar and OTC Houston. This collaboration has brought together oil and gas services companies to these markets. Abu Bakar Koyakutty Director, Oil and Gas & Chemical Division, Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation (MATRADE) Fulfilling our Mandates Collaborative efforts between MATRADE and MPRC in 2013 have resulted 29 Facilitating Human Capital & Technology Development In addition to its market-oriented economy and government policies, Malaysia must be able to offer investors a steady supply of O&G professionals and in the long term to develop local technology required by the industry. This will help make the country a compelling investment destination and create long-term growth opportunities for Malaysia within Asia’s O&G industry. A dynamic relationship between the country’s public and private sectors will also help nurture a strong O&G ecosystem that must be supported by strong labour and financial markets.

Between 2010 and 2020, the 13 EPPs within the Oil, Gas and Energy (OGE) NKEA are expected to create a total of 52,300 jobs of which some 40 percent, or 21,000 jobs, will be for highly skilled professionals such as engineers and geologists. MPRC undertook several initiatives to develop human capital in 2013, including establishing the O&G Industry Centre of Excellence (ICoE) in cooperation with Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM). The ICoE will address the current shortage of skilled talents and build an ample pool of qualified young talents to meet the future needs of the O&G sector. It brings together industry players and universities and helps identify professional traits and relevant training and accreditation programmes to meet industry needs. In collaboration with TalentCorp, MPRC is also developing technical and industry-related upskilling courses for skilled O&G professionals to ensure that they have the necessary industrial skills demanded by the O&G industry. The courses are offered to fresh engineering graduates with a minimum CGPA of 3.0 as shortlisted by employers. To support the industry’s needs and to promote re s ea rc h a n d d eve l o p m e nt cap aci t y an d capabilities, MPRC helped establish the Malaysian Oil & Gas Engineering Council (MOGEC)Universities Partnership in 2012. The MOGECUniversities Partnership connects five research universities (UTM, UM, USM, UKM, UPM) with professional engineering consultants to promote research and development collaboration within the O&G sector (refer to diagram in Summary of Highlights, page 23). MPRC also participated in the National Professor Council Forum to reach out to professors from public and private universities in an effort to create awareness amongst university professors about opportunities in the O&G sector. Malaysia’s future human capital needs will also be supported by the Aberdeen Drilling School, which set up operations in Malaysia in 2013 to provide customised training in drilling practices and technology, cost reduction/unscheduled events prevention, safety, communication and leadership. The school aims to use Malaysia as its base for regional expansion into neighbouring countries such as Thailand, Vietnam and other parts of Asia. MOGEC-Universities Partnership MPRC’s role in promoting and transforming the oil & gas services sector complements the structure we currently have in the Malaysian oil and gas industry landscape to effectively elevate Malaysia’s profile towards becoming a regional hub for oil and gas services. Sofiyan Yahya President, Malaysian Oil & Gas Services Council (MOGSC) Fulfilling our Mandates Students participating in the Oil & Gas Induction MPRC is also working closely with TalentCorp to implement the Structured Internship Programme (SIP) within the O&G industry. This initiative facilitates internships from public and private institutes of higher learning and generates more employable graduates. To support this initiative, MPRC has teamed up with Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) to form a secretariat to encourage O&G companies to participate in the programme. As a result of MPRC’s efforts, a total of 10 O&G companies participated in the SIP programme in 2013 compared to only five in 2012. Nearly 350 internship places have been secured to date (refer to diagram in Summary of Highlights, page 22). 31 Promoting and Exploring Business Opportunities The O&G sector contributes about 20 percent to Malaysia’s GDP. However, it is estimated that at least 90 percent of this total is derived from exploration and production activities. MPRC is working hard to promote the local O&G services and manufacturing sector to make it more prominent and competitive. MPRC’s efforts in this strategic thrust are focused on raising Malaysia’s profile as a regional O&G services and manufacturing hub by exporting Malaysian products and services to the global market. We keep track of local and foreign business opportunities and are actively engaged with various international institutions and governmentto-government initiatives. MPRC Corporate Report 2013 MPRC made significant progress in this regard in 2013, in which eight Malaysian companies expanded abroad, five joint ventures were formed and a major multinational company expanded into Malaysia. MPRC also helped Kuala Lumpur to be nominated as ASEAN’s first member of the World Energy City Partnership (WECP) in 2014; a non-profit association of 19 of the world’s leading energy cities. WECP collaboration will be beneficial for businesses within member cities as well as local governments in terms of sharing best practices, energy policies and business development activities. 32 The WECP Networking Reception is considered one of the premiere events during OTC The Malaysian delegation at the Offshore Technology Conference (OTC) Houston 2013 Malaysian Oil & Gas Services and Equipment (OGSE) companies made great strides in increasing their international presence at the Offshore Technology Conference (OTC) in Houston, Texas in 2013. During the event, Wasco Energy Group was awarded the Offshore Technology Conference 2013 Spotlight Award for its new NEPTUNE Advanced Subsea Flow Assurance Insulation System and was recognised for its unique industry collaboration involving new chemistry developed by Dow. In addition, Kuala Lumpur-based Deleum Group had the honour of being selected by the OTC to present a technical paper entitled 'Thermo Chemical In-Situ Heat Generation Technique to Remove Organic Solid Deposition: Effective Tool for Production Enhancement and Flow Assurance' during the conference.

MPRC also promotes the Oil & Gas Services and Equipment (OGSE) companies in domestic conferences such as the Asia Oil & Gas Conference (AOGC), Oil & Gas Asia (OGA), and the Malaysia Oil & Gas Services Exhibition & Conference (MOGSEC). In addition, MPRC collaborated with key foreign government agencies in selected countries such as the United Kingdom, Norway and the United States to link Malaysian companies to potential foreign partners and customers (see box: 'A Global Promotion Platform'). Year 2012 Country Sri Lanka A Global Promotion Platform MPRC has helped establish international linkages that lend support and assistance to Malaysian O&G players wishing to establish an international presence.

The objective of this SMM was to connect Malaysian O&G companies with key Government officials and Myanmar O&G companies. This was successfully achieved and Malaysian O&G companies have made good progress in bidding for projects in Myanmar through the Myanmar Oil & Gas Enterprise (MOGE). Dimension Bid, Mir Valve, ProEight and Scomi were all successfully pre-qualified for inclusion into the International Oil Companies’ (IOC) list of vendors operating in Myanmar. Malaysian Technology Development Corporation (MTDC) Technology, Grant and Facility Forum MPRC and Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA) also co-hosted the Norwegian Trade and Investment Mission to Kuala Lumpur, which gave delegates the opportunity to understand and familiarise themselves with Malaysia’s plans for the O&G sector and explore possible business ventures with Malaysian companies. A total of 21 Malaysian oil and gas services companies participated in the event, where representatives learned how SMEs in Norway support the country’s O&G industry with a wide range of services, resources and capabilities. The development of domestic champions is encouraged by joint-ventures between local Oil & Gas Services and Equipment (OGSE) firms and foreign multinationals. World-class companies help strengthen the competitiveness of local industry players when it comes to bidding for international job tenders, thus enhancing the industry’s growth prospects. Joint-ventures also help nurture more of the advanced technology-based companies the industry needs to support its expansion and indirectly helps attract global MNCs to set up regional operation centres in Malaysia. However, there are challenges to developing joint ventures, particularly in finding the right fit between possible partners and in meeting shareholder requirements. This problem is compounded by a lack of direct incentives to promote joint ventures as an investment structure. MPRC Corporate Report 2013 For Malaysia to move forward, investments in the local oil & gas sector 36 should be strengthened and consistently promoted in line with the Economic Transformation Programme where Oil, Gas and Energy has been identified as one of the National Key Economic Areas. MPRC has been working together with Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA) in creating the right climate and environment to boost and promote new and ongoing investments in oil & gas activities throughout Malaysia. Datuk Phang Ah Tong Deputy Chief Executive Officer, Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA) Nonetheless, there were several notable JV successes in 2013, including Atlas Hall’s joint venture with Oiltools AS, which will allow Atlas Hall to market and deliver the services and products of Oiltools AS in Malaysia and across the region. The joint venture between D&P Services and Farley Riggs Malaysia will also soon begin to bear fruit once the firm starts marketing its specialty production testing services – established in 2007, Farley Riggs is Australia’s leading Drill Stem Test service provider with the capability to provide a complete and well-tested service. Joint venture agreements were also concluded between Johor Corporation’s Tanjung Langsat Port Sdn Bhd (TLP) and Dubai’s Oilfields Supply Center Ltd as a marine supply base port operator as well as between TH Heavy Engineering and McDermott International Inc. Year As of 31 December 2013, 20 oil trading companies had registered for the GIFT programme, including Mercuria, an independent energy and commodities groups with revenue more than USD 110 billion in 2013. In May 2013, the group strengthened its presence in Asia by opening an office in Kuala Lumpur as Mercuria Resources Labuan Limited (MRLL). MRLL plans to increase its product supply of coal and petroleum products as well as develop its storage capacity and access to upstream production site in the region (refer to diagram in Summary of Highlights, page 23).

The country’s upstream O&G sector has developed remarkably well over the years, but much needs to be done to strengthen its position in the services, trading and downstream sub-sectors. MPRC Corporate Report 2013 Global Incentives For Trading (GIFT) launching event 38 One of the key elements to achieve this goal is the alignment of policies and regulations to provide the best overall solutions to promote growth. To this end, MPRC took the lead in formulating the Global Incentives For Trading (GIFT) programme to promote Malaysia as a trading hub. Working together with Labuan Financial Services Authority (LFSA), Ministry of Finance (MOF) and Inland Revenue Board (IRB), MPRC developed GIFT to attract global trading companies in petroleum and petroleum products to set up operations in Malaysia. In 2013, the programme’s scope was widened so that it would be applicable for trading with both resident and non-resident companies for petroleum and petroleum products. (See box: 'Storage, Trading and More', next page) GIFT incentives include 0% tax rate for LNG trading companies, 3% flat corporate tax for other commodities, full tax exemption on directors' fees for non-Malaysians and various other exemptions and benefits. Storage, Trading and More South China Sea Nusajaya Melaka Straits Tanjung Bin Tanjung Langsat Pengerang Singapore Overview of storage facility projects in Southern Johor DIALOG's Pengerang Terminal Petroleum product imports and exports for China, India and Southeast Asia are expected to rise by 1.8 million barrels per day between 2010 and 2020. It is vitally important for the region to have adequate storage facilities to accommodate this increased demand and to serve as a buffer against supply shocks caused by geopolitical instability. Malaysia is ideally suited to fill this gap, which is the main goal of EPP 4: Building a Regional Storage and Trading Hub. The Straits of Malacca is recognised as being a major oil shipment route, linking China and Indonesia with major oil exporters in the Middle East, Africa and Latin America. An estimated 15.2 million bbl flows through the straits every day, of which 90 percent is crude oil1. Taking into consideration the current storage capacities of Singapore and Indonesia and with plans afoot to increase Johor’s oil storage capacity to 10 million cubic metres, the region will soon be the second-largest oil storage hub in the world after the renowned AmsterdamRotterdam-Antwerp (ARA) oil trading hub. By becoming a regional storage and trading hub, Malaysia and Singapore will be able to complement each other’s refining and petrochemical activities, independent storage, bunkering and blending facilities while enjoying easy access to customers in China, India and Southeast Asia. MPRC works closely with federal and state government agencies as well as regional economic corridor authorities to encourage private investment within these industries by formulating solutions to address key investor issues such as permits and incentive schemes as well as tracking the development of key projects. Malaysia made significant strides towards achieving the goals of EPP 4: Building a Regional Storage and Trading Hub in 2013. ATT Tanjung Bin Sdn Bhd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of VTTI BV, launched Malaysia’s largest oil storage terminal in January 2013 with a total capacity of 890,000 cubic meters. Additionally, ATB Tg Bin plans to increase its storage capacity by 250,000 cubic meters in the Tanjung Bin Petrochemical and Maritime Industrial Centre by 2015. Meanwhile, the DIALOG-Vopak joint-venture to develop an independent oil storage terminal in Pengerang, Johor entered the final stage of the first phase of construction. The terminal will have a capacity of 1.3 million Energy commenced work on its bitumen storage facility in Tanjung Langsat, with the first phase capacity of 64,000 cubic meters scheduled to be completed in the second quarter of 2014. World oil demand is expected to grow moderately at 1.5 percent per annum, mostly due to increased demand from developing countries. However, the oil storage and trading industry is highly susceptible to crude price volatility and is mainly driven by supply and consumption trends within the region. That said, Malaysia is set to assume a key role within the ASEAN Economic Community in 2015, which gives the country a unique opportunity to lead the region’s transformation to an international O&G storage and trading hub. 1 Fulfilling our Mandates cubic meters when it is complete and is scheduled to launch its first shipment at Q2 2014. In addition, PUMA U.S. Energy Information Administration, 'World Oil Chokepoints'. 39 Launching of the Industry Consultative Council In its efforts to grow the O&G services industry, MPRC was also entrusted to form the Industry Consultative Council (ICC) in 2012. ICC acts as an advisory body where industry matters may be discussed and collaborative efforts pursued to further develop the industry towards making Malaysia a regional O&G hub. MPRC Corporate Report 2013 ICC is a valuable partnership between MPRC and O&G trade associations to drive the development of local companies to become regional and worldclass players. Its council members are made up of presidents of five main trade associations and it is chaired by MPRC. The five associations are the Malaysian Oil and Gas Engineering Council (MOGEC), the Malaysian Oil and Gas Services Council (MOGSC), the Malaysian Offshore Vessels Owners Association (MOSVA), the Malaysian Offshore Constructors Association (MOCA) and the Institute of Materials Management (IMM). 40 One of MPRC’s most important tasks was to develop a comprehensive database of companies that are registered with PETRONAS and operating within the O&G services and manufacturing subsector. With the database in place, MPRC worked closely with PETRONAS to gather comprehensive data about industry players in terms of their paid-up capital, investment structure, strengths and challenges. As at July 2011, about 93 percent of the 3,545 companies registered with PETRONAS had a paidup capital of less than RM5 million. Many small players provided common services to support industry requirements, and there were very few companies that offered technology-intensive products or services. Malaysia Petroleum Resources Corporation’s GIFT programme has strongly supported Mercuria’s development in Malaysia. The country is an attractive regional base for foreign companies that want to enter markets within the Asia Pacific region. Loo Chong Peng Executive Director, Mercuria Resources Labuan Ltd. THE ROAD AHEAD In the year ahead, MPRC will prioritise Oil & Gas Services and Equipment (OGSE) sub-sectors for growth and actively identify opportunities for investments. It will continue to leverage on its relationships with international trade promotion agencies to identify and attract suitable OGSE companies to set up operations in Malaysia, either as independent entities or as partners with local firms. It will also facilitate further discussions between the O&G services and manufacturing industry and the financial sector to encourage financing opportunities as well as nurture publicprivate partnerships in human capital and technology development. We w i l l s u p p o r t t h e g row t h o f d o m estic capabilities and capacity by encouraging greater strategic domestic investments and technology. Along with its partners, MPRC must sustain its efforts to ensure that the incentives and grants available from Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA), SME Corporation Malaysia, Malaysian Technology Development Corporation (MTDC) and other agencies are directed towards developing advanced technologybased companies. Challenges also remain in growing Malaysian global champions within the OGSE sector, including the strict international accreditation requirements as well as the risky nature of foreign projects with stiff competition. It is imperative that the industry have better access to financing, and MPRC intends to host sector/ segment-specific forums focusing on potential areas such as: O&G SMI/SMEs, Marine Services, Enhanced Oil Recovery and Fabricators. MPRC will continue to engage with the industry to identify opportunities abroad and develop the government-to-government linkages required to support Malaysian companies in these new markets. MPRC will also work closely with Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation (MATRADE) to promote Malaysian capabilities overseas and keep up its efforts to link up foreign MNCs with credible local partners. Smaller Malaysian OGSE players will require much assistance to enhance their capabilities before they will be able to explore opportunities outside Malaysia. However, MPRC is committed towards engaging with industry players to identify the policies and incentives best suited to grow Malaysian O&G players. Besides its current linkages with Aberdeen, Stavanger and Houston, MPRC has also built linkages with Australia, Korea, India, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Africa, Kazakhstan, China and more. These linkages will be nurtured to foster bilateral relations and create business opportunities for Malaysian industry players. In the year ahead, MPRC intends to increase the exposure and profile of Malaysian O&G companies through domestic and international platforms such as the Asia Oil & Gas Conference (AOGC), Oil & Gas Asia (OGA), Malaysia Oil & Gas Services Exhibition & Conference (MOGSEC) as well as the Offshore Technology Conference (OTC), Offshore Northern Seas (ONS), Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition & Conference (Middle East) and World Gas Conference (WGC). Fulfilling our Mandates Besides its promotional activities, MPRC will continue to play a key role in developing strategic O&G projects such as Pengerang Integrated Petroleum Complex (PIPC) and Sipitang Oil & Gas Industrial Park (SOGIP) as well as other projects in Labuan, Tanjung Langsat and Port Tok Bali. MPRC will also step-up its efforts to make Malaysia a storage and trading hub by continuing its facilitation for oil storage investment and oil trading companies. 41 MPRC in the NEWS OIL & GAS ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSION • Going Global a Necessity, Not a Choice by Amy Chew photos by Saiful Hizam Mansor Focus Malaysia • Lack of Collaboration Stymies Malaysia’s Growth in O&G by Hafidz Baharom photos by Saiful Hizam Mansor Focus Malaysia Visual credit to Focus Malaysia GOING GLOBAL A NECESSITY, NOT A CHOICE Malaysia’s O&G sector must take the critical step of change, producing a competitive model involving upscaling competence and assets, technology and solutions by Amy Chew photos by Saiful Hizam Mansor Focus Malaysia, 7 December 2013 T HE local oil and gas sector is probably the single largest contributor to Malaysia’s gross domestic product (GDP), co n t r i b u t i n g a b o u t 2 0 % annually to its economic pie. Since the discovery of oil in Miri and the subsequent incorporation of Petroliam Nasional Bhd in 1974, oil has become a major source of revenue for the government. Some estimate that a major portion of the economy is financed by oil revenue. However, after 40 years, and with more than 4,000 local oil and gas companies, we still have a long way to go to be a global player. While Fortune ranks PETRONAS among the largest global corporations, over 90% of local oil and gas companies are still said to be either small and medium industries (SMIs) or small and medium enterprises (SMEs). With this as background, Focus Malaysia held a roundtable last week with top local and foreign industry players, who gave their take on Malaysia’s strengths and weaknesses. The topic was: As Malaysia aims to become a regional oil and gas hub, how can local companies compete in the big leagues? The roundtable was moderated by Focus Malaysia’s executive editor Prathab V. Panellists included Technip Geoproduction (M) Sdn Bhd’s chairman and senior vice-president for Malaysia and Brunei, Syed Feizal Syed Mohammad; Schlumberger Group Asia-Pacific chairman Jamal A Ainul; Malaysia Petroleum Resources Corporation (MPRC) executive director Dr Shahreen Zainooreen Madros; Muhibbah Engineering (M) Bhd managing director Mac Ngan Boon; Deleum Bhd Group managing director Nan Yusry Nan Rahimy; Malaysian Oil & Gas Engineering Council president Ir Abdul Rashid Md Sidek; and ProEight Offshore Engineering Sdn Bhd managing director Ir Azhar Zainal Abidin. The following is the first of a two-part report. How can Malaysian oil and gas companies compete with the big boys? Dr Shahreen: This topic is extremely relevant at this time, especially since it is no longer a choice about growing and becoming a regional hub. As Afta 2015 is looming, globalisation is setting in, competition in the region is growing. We can no longer afford to be inward-looking. Statistically, a huge majority of [local] companies are very much inward-looking. There is a handful which has ventured out. About 20% of [our] GDP comes from the oil and gas industry and, of the 20%, 8090% is from exploration and production (E&P). Oil and gas services are way behind. So there is a necessity to move and balance the economy. Abdul Rashid: If Malaysia wants to become a regional oil and gas hub, the manpower, the resources must be there. If you look at the industry, the backbone of it is engineering and science. If you don’t have that, you cannot go forward. Thus you have to start from the basics all the way. Training at all levels, from technicians right up to engineers, project managers, project directors and so on. Otherwise, we cannot move forward. Jamal Ainul: I agree with Dr Shareen. I think that it is not just my thinking, Schlumberger is also thinking the same way – that it is not a matter of choice. It is a matter of doing it now because everything is falling into place. This country is the most active in this industry, overall. We have a national company admired worldwide. We have a very good population of English-speaking, MPRC in the News Panellists were unanimous that there is a need for Malaysian companies to change their outlook, as they can no longer afford to be inward-looking. Malaysia is an oil and gas industry leader in the region. However, neighbouring countries are snapping at our heels. “It is not a choice but a matter of doing it now,” the panellists said. 43 From left: Syahrul Zuhara, Corporate Communications Manager MPRC; Ahmad Azwan, Oil & Gas Services and Equipment (OGSE) Manager MPRC; Prathab V., Executive Editor Focus Malaysia; Abdul Rashid Md Sidek, President, MOGEC; Syed Feizal Syed Mohammad, Chairman and SVP, Technip Geoproduction (M) Sdn Bhd; Nan Yusri Nan Rahimy, Group Managing Director, Deleum Berhad; Datuk Shahrol Halmi, CEO, MPRC; Mac Ngan Boon, Managing Director, Muhibbah Engineering (M) Sdn Bhd; Azhar Zainal Abidin, Managing Director, ProEight Oshore Engineering Sdn Bhd, Dr Shahreen Madros, Executive Director, MPRC; Jamal A.

That is a difference and if you put it all together, there is none in the AsiaPacific like us. We have perhaps Brunei a little bit but they are extremely limited. So if we don’t do this and become the regional hub, somebody else will do it. But they may do a poor job. I think we can do a better job because we have the willpower. We have the infrastructure, the people and of course we have the [oil and gas] activities. Going forward, I think that is the objective that can be achieved – but of course, more work needs to be done. Syed Feizal: I think this industry has been lucky over the decades to have PETRONAS championing and contributing to the domestic industry. I think with this industry, we now have to take the critical step of change. I think the critical step of change is to come up with a competitive model. We have to be really competitive. That’s why we should not rely too much on domestic support. We can use it to enhance business, of course, but I think we should look where we are going, what we do and what we have to offer. So I think we have to look at upscaling in terms of competence and assets. We should also be brave to look at acquisitions – acquisitions of technology and solutions. MPRC Corporate Report 2013 Mac: PETRONAS being the major provider or the key/core of our oil and gas industry, is starting to give more field work to Malaysians. Technology is something which we Malaysians still do not have. You’ve got to give [jobs] to Malaysian companies which will in turn procure this technology, acquisitions, joint ventures; and only then can they get the knowledge. Without these, we cannot go out as we do not have a track record. So my view is very simple: PETRONAS has to identify and support [industry players]. The government and financial institutions must also give their support. Only then can Malaysian companies grow. 44 Azhar Zainal Abidin: Coming from an oil and gas SME company, the biggest challenge is the technology. If you want to become an oil and gas hub, one must have the technology or the manpower to attract them [industry players] to come here. At ProEight, we did the impossible thing via mechanical sealers. Then, we did not possess the technology in Southeast Asia. And if one wanted to go and acquire the technology, it was virtually impossible. Even if you wanted to buy, they would not want to do so with you. In this situation, we hired fresh, first-class degree engineers – 12 of them. Then we ventured into three main areas: technology, speed and brushing. We managed to produce and our patented invention is now going to compete and beat all these [competitors]. We captured nearly 95% of the market in terms of mechanical seal supply. Apart from acquiring technology, we could learn, emulating the Japanese and Koreans. Nan Yusri: We are at a juncture in moving forward as a regional hub. To put it very bluntly, we have no choice. We have to do it. We have to support, as an industry player, in this goal [of] moving forward. Certainly there will be plenty of challenges. People say that there are 3Ps of moving forward – People, Process and Property. [For the oil and gas industry], human capital is very important. In terms of process, we have to be very focused in what we want to do. We have to be focused in certain areas. But then again, some companies may not want to venture out. They are very happy here. Thus, we are very fortunate to have PETRONAS working on this initiative [driving the local oil and gas industry]. What can we do to realise our goal of becoming a global player in the oil and gas industry? Mac: At Muhibbah, what we were and what we are today is the result of aspiration. It is a thought process within the company. When we were public-listed in 1995, we were a company with a turnover of RM215 million. The directors then got together and asked, “Where are we going?” If we had stayed in Malaysia alone, the competition is very small. We asked ourselves what the future – in 10 years – held for us. We are the best in port construction. “But are we going to stay that way?” we asked ourselves. Then we decided to do two things. Firstly, diversify beyond construction. Secondly, diversify our geographical base. These days, many Malaysian companies tend to be a bit averse to broadening [geographically]. “I am good in this,” they say. It is the same [story] as Kodak and other companies. Their mindset is this: “We are the best. We will not go, we will stay in this sector. We are comfortable. Why take a risk?” But we have to look beyond that and look globally. Thus the mentality of Malaysian companies has to change. Dr Shahreen: I would like to divide this into three groups of Malaysians or existing companies on oil and gas. We have the very small, specialised SMEs; you have the mid-sized; and then the large size. When we look at the details of 4,400 companies registered in the oil and gas sector, you find that 80-90% are SMIs and SMEs. On one hand we do not want to say that small companies cannot go abroad, especially [without] technology. But I agree with Mac, that it is a mindset issue. Historically, we have been a protected economy. People are comfortable doing business in Malaysia. You need to have that extra incentive, profitability wise, to venture out, which will require hard work. As a result, naturally for the last 40 years, we have the majority of the companies looking inwards because it is a protected area. It’s easier to do business [locally]. But the scenario is changing and changing very fast. When you increase local jobs, people tend not to go out. People ask, “Why should I go out? There are ample jobs here!” But the market is becoming more global and, because of that, mindsets must change. And that is the challenge. Nan Yusri: Let me just add here to the discussion. For me, it is mindset and capability. These are the two areas that we really need to look at in moving forward. There is a risk that you have to look at, as Dr Shahreen mentioned. There are a lot of jobs in Malaysia but there is also a risk because you are concentrating everything in Malaysia. All in one basket. Just to give you an example, we have been established since 1982. Only in the past two years have we been aggressively trying to move into the region. It takes a lot of effort, mindset change especially and also capability development. There is also a risk as PETRONAS is no longer there to support [us]. Once you are out there, you are on your own. You can get completely burned. Then you must be ready to compete. In order to compete, you must start to be innovative. That is where we have to look at other ways, like forming a partnership first. Jamal Ainul: I think Mac and I have the same view. The key thing is the mindset [issue], but I think it is also the desire. It is interesting that both of you (Muhibbah and Deleum) are public-listed companies. You have [to meet the] demands of your shareholders and your board of directors. Here, you [both] always take a long-term view. I am sure one day ProEight may be a listed company (laughter) and [they will] take a longterm view too. If you take a long-term view then you know nothing [will] last forever. So Nan Yusri is absolutely right. Doing business in Malaysia is wonderful because a lot of things have happened since Independence, to help local players in the small companies succeed. But that won’t last forever either. Thus, when you take a long-term view, beyond your current companies, you have to start to compete regionally. The trick here, apart from mindset, is capability. I think we have to innovate. There are also a lot of initiatives in terms of innovation, encouragement and things like that. If we don’t do that then you go to any regional areas to compete, you have nothing unique to offer. You have PETRONAS still holding your hands, but they may not [companies] when abroad. Like Yusri said, you are on your own. So partnership, joint-ventures, acquisitions seem to be working. Some companies have taken risks, such as geographical, financial, technical risks and all kinds of risks. But with risks come the (financial) returns. So, take a long-term view and have good returns. One more thing other than the mindset is perhaps capability. We have a well-educated workforce. However, we may be a little weak on the soft skills. LACK OF COLLABORATION STYMIES MALAYSIA’S GROWTH IN O&G Malaysia’s O&G sector must take the critical step of change, producing a competitive model involving upscaling competence and assets, technology and solutions by Hafidz Baharom photos by Saiful Hizam Mansor Focus Malaysia 14 December 2013 W HILE going global is now a necessity for local oil and gas companies, the lack of corporate size a nd exp erience in bidding for global projects can throw a damper to lofty ambitions. These challenges, say panellists at the recent FocusM Roundtable Discussion on Oil & Gas, can be overcome only by closer cooperation. The lack of experience, talent and financial strength further aggravates the situation when going global. The panellists also pointed out that many local financial institutions tend to be rigid and decline to take risks in lending money to SMEs when they need it most to expand in the region or globally. The roundtable session was moderated by FocusM executive editor Prathab V. Panellists include Technip Geoproduction (M) Sdn Bhd chairman and senior vicepresident for Malaysia and Brunei, Syed Feizal Syed Mohammad; Schlumberger Group Asia-Pacific chairman Jamal A Ainul; Malaysia Petroleum Resources Corporation (MPRC) executive director Dr Shahreen Zainooreen Madros; Muhibbah Engineering (M) Bhd managing director Mac Ngan Boon, Deleum Bhd group managing director Nan Yusry Nan Rahimy, Malaysian Oil & Gas Engineering Council president Ir Abdul Rashid Md Sidek; and ProEight Offshore Engineering Sdn Bhd managing director Ir Azhar Zainal Abidin. In this second and final part from our roundtable session held earlier, the panellists proposed that Malaysian oil and gas companies collaborate more in order to make waves globally. They also shared their frustration on how government red tape is slowing down the pace of activities in the sector. Participants at the O&G roundtable discussion. Photo courtesy of Focus Malaysia Does size really matter in the oil and gas industry? Syed Feizal: I think the main purpose is to help companies to go global. So [if] that’s one of the key objectives, I think this is where synergy of local entities need have strong fundamentals. Sometimes [it needs] synergy with multinational companies [MNCs] and I think that when you put the two together [Malaysian companies and MNCs], then it gives a lot more synergy in terms of breaking into the market. A combination of the two can compete for almost all of [the] opportunities in the Asia-Pacific region as well as outside. I think local companies should also find synergy with analysis and ride on the network, ride on the competency and skill sets that MNCs can provide. MNCs themselves also have to think largely of being multi-local, not just multinational; to be local-minded, and with opportunities given within the country should re-invest in the country to grow the business. Today we start, maybe as a one-person (show), so to speak. Today, we are three thousand people. Mac: In my opinion, for a lot of Malaysian companies, we have the real capital but we don’t have the expertise. The only way companies can move forward is to work [together] with MNCs. I think there are no two ways about it. In terms of our engineering, the depth of the oil and gas in the Malaysian companies are still not there yet. Take for example the work processes. I think only one or two [local] companies have some form of process experience, while the rest do not have the process experience. It is true from the one or two jobs, you will learn something and maybe you can try something with fewer processes. But at this moment, other than one or two which have taken the initial steps, the rest are not capable. We need to collaborate. As far as SMEs are concerned, I think if they are specialised in some form or another, they may have to look at keeping up [with] some of the bigger corporations, listed companies which then give them the muscles to go, to work with them to grow. But in the meantime, collaborate. On another point, Malaysian companies somehow are rather averse to working with each other. I don’t know why it seems to be that way. Consider the Japanese companies. They are always working closely together. They team up when there is a job. Even the Koreans do this, though they ‘hate’ each other. Malaysian companies find it very difficult to work together. They are suspicious [of each other] I think for us to grow to the next step, we must all be open-minded. MPRC in the News Size does matter when going global. Industry players also agree that unlike South Korea, China and Japan, where companies form consortiums and joint ventures when expanding overseas, Malaysian SMEs and their larger counterparts seemed to shy away from teaming up to achieve greater heights. Perhaps the lack of trust and teamwork are among the key reasons. 45 Abdul Rashid: The cultural work ethic can work for you or it can work against you. What Mac said is correct. It appears to be a Malaysian culture of not trying to form partnerships. the first place. I don’t know how we can resolve that. It is number one. We need to look at it, we have to talk to the clients and see how we can do (it), how best we can approach this. But slowly, when companies are exposed to the international market, they do see the need to team up. For Malaysian companies, you need to have the size, you need the mass. Which is why, in my opinion, yes, size does matter in some ways. For example, how can you create technology with, say, just three units (workforce)? Nan Yusri: The move by the government and other parties has drawn interest from global companies that want to work in Malaysia. They are looking for partners. They want to collaborate with partners in Malaysia. MPRC Corporate Report 2013 Dr Shahreen: It is a challenge. Our finding is that the Koreans and the Japanese work very closely together. Somehow Malaysian companies tend to work separately. Unfortunately, our non-interventionist attitude of letting the market work on its own doesn’t help. Hence, in MPRC, we brought 15 companies together. Here was a platform for them to find out what each other is doing and they really started to talk to one another. Existing platform is not enough to instigate (this type of collaboration). We hope more companies will participate in venturing out together, meeting and understanding one another better. There needs to be a lot more communication to understand one another. This is among the things we found out among the big players in Malaysia that have gone international. Local companies which have ventured internationally, came to us and said: “Hey, can you guys help to identify who else has been in this market from Malaysia” because for them their business is to do the work, but they do not know who else from Malaysia has the experience. 46 So we are trying to find, for example, how many companies from Malaysia have gone to Indonesia. So instead of many companies running around, we have a list of companies that one can talk to. This information sharing has to happen as well (in order to enable the collaborative network). Prior to this, there is no entity doing this. We are trying to break the ice and see and celebrate all these small successes. We can do one or two to make it happen and then people start seeing there is a value in doing this, and hopefully grow. But I think this persistence to keep on pushing is the way to make this happen. Abdul Rashid: We have to talk together. Also, we need to talk to understand the way they (global organisations) set up the bidding process. Sometimes, in the bidding process, they invite small local Malaysian companies, and of course, by doing that these companies would have to compete with each other. What they say to local companies is as if “You go and find the multinational or global company to work and bring them here”. This, perhaps, is why the competitive atmosphere surfaced in Again, it comes once again to the processes. We do have this dream in which we want to be a regional hub and all that, but somehow or rather somebody needs to look at the process from the dream to the formation of the entities. Like any other company, we have a vision and a mission statement. We also have plans on how you can achieve that. Let me give you an example, not from one but a few of our partners who were looking to set up some facilities in Malaysia. Compared with our neighbouring countries, these companies articulated their experience when dealing with the equivalent of our Malaysian Investment D eve l o p m e n t Au t h o r i t y ( M i d a ) . Interestingly, within two hours they know everything from A to Z on whatever you have and whatever you need when venturing to other countries. The person sitting at the counter is able to provide step-by-step guidance on the types of grant, incentives available and so on. But when they meet up with the Malaysian government agencies over here (they had a different experience). Let’s say you are setting up a chemical company. What do you need to do? What are the incentives that you will be getting? In one situation, a company was asked (by the government officer) if the chemical plant was for agriculture or for oil and gas. If it’s for oil and gas, the officer mentioned that they only handle agriculture (-related queries)! In the end we said enough is enough. We (just) don’t have the time. We got our (own) financing and moved forward. Luckily for us, since we’ve reached a certain stage, when the banks (began) supporting us. That’s the main reason why we were able to move far. While the government wants to do everything, when it comes to the implementation, it is a different thing. For SMEs, the main problem is always finance. We can’t move [without financial support]. We cannot go to private companies [for funds]. Sourcing funding from the government is also very difficult. Mac: I still come back to the same point. I think, to become a Malaysian player in a global scenario, we need to have human resources, backing from financial institutions and [have] the government’s participation. These are the three things [we need]. Unfortunately, most of the time, as Azhar said, it is hard to get access to funds. So, as a startup you will really have trouble getting access to funds and you cannot even think about going to the next step. How then do you nurture companies like ours? While as a listed entity, we have some experts, but it is still not enough expertise to go abroad. All this already takes up (at least) one working day. You then meet another government agency, go there for oil and gas. There you are asked if this is your own intellectual property (IP) or shared IP. You are then waved onwards to move to another counter. This process needs to be improved. When people want to invest, they want it (solution) fast. They want to know exactly what they are going to get and we need to look deeply (at) how we can improve that. Azhar: I think MPRC is doing a great job in promoting Malaysia. But I just want to add that we (ProEight) have yet to actually receive a single sen from government grants. We need things fast because of innovation (costs). From our perspective, I would think we were given the runaround. We eventually did it on our own. Photo courtesy of Focus Malaysia Next is listed companies. Without sufficient expertise, how do we make the government understand the oil and gas industry? It is going to be difficult. I once had a one-to-one dialogue with Bank Negara, telling it about several issues (facing the local oil and gas sector). I suggested that the financial institutions should look at supporting Malaysian products, as Malaysian [oil and gas] companies contribute 5-6% to the national GDP. However, Bank Negara declined to intervene as it is not allowed to influence financial institutions. We are not heading anywhere (in resolving) these issues. This is exactly what we faced. I requested that Bank Negara have a dialogue and include the financial institutions, so that we in the industry can talk to them [the banks].This will help the financial institutions to ‘dialogue’ with us too and discuss policy. How do we make government agencies understand all this? We need this to be in place so we can grow [steadily]. I see that in Japan and China today, the banks are very involved with their oil and gas companies. Even the other Asean banks, as long as you do a job they will throw a lot of money at you. Sadly, we do not do it here. We need to address this issue. Syed Feizal: Yes. Rather than addressing things in a fragmented manner and dealing with different agencies, there should be a champion of the good brain, dissemination of information and trying to get all the relevant bodies coming on the same page. I think where perhaps MPRC is doing a good job, is actively involved and take a step further in helping us. I think you are in a good position to understand all the issues and try to get everybody on the same page. always be the facilitator, crystallising initiatives but of course, ultimately, it is not about this alone. Arriving and becoming a hub ... but for sustaining it in the long run, it must be a more sustaining initiative. I am so happy to hear that there are actually many people looking at it and saying we can realise this. Government agencies are always meeting up to address those issues and we do see that leadership needs to be there. These points are noted. Again, I always believe that it is not a single party, single agency or single entity which must attend to this. It has to involve everyone ... to move this plan ahead. There are things in which Malaysia is ahead, we are number one in deep water hubs. It’s all about marketing, so marketing is about positioning. I think the more you are known, in terms of oil and gas on the global map, then you will especially find opportunities for the SMEs or for the bigger players to penetrate into those markets. Dr Shahreen: I think there is a clear need to become a hub and this is an opportunity and we should not waste it. But it clearly requires cooperation from all sides to make it happen. MPRC will MPRC in the News For me, there are two segments to consider. First is the SME question. How do we help them? 47 INFO SECTION Global Incentives For Trading GIFT The Global Incentives For Trading (GIFT) programme was launched by Malaysia Petroleum Resources Corporation (MPRC) and Labuan Financial Services Authority (LFSA) in 2011 to attract international and domestic companies trading in petroleum and petroleum-related products to locate their regional operations in Malaysia. Under the Economic Transformation Programme (ETP), petroleum storage and trading was identified as one of the Entry Point Projects (EPPs) which can contribute significantly to the oil and gas industry value chain. In line with the goals of the ETP, MPRC created GIFT together with Labuan Financial Services Authority (LFSA) as its first product aimed specifically at developing and strengthening Malaysia’s oil and gas value chain. The programme began in 2011 with five inaugural members, comprising Vitol, PETRONAS Trading Corporation, DIALOG, YTL Power Trading and BB Energy. Since then, GIFT has successfully expanded to 20 members as of 2013. Malaysia offers a wide range of competitive advantages spanning its strategic location, vast land banks, world-class infrastructure and facilities, excellent banking and financial services, a business-friendly investment climate and a highly skilled workforce. With all these and grow the oil and gas industry with the ultimate goal of transforming Malaysia into a regional O&G hub by 2017. Info Section: Global Incentives For Trading (GIFT) competitive advantages in place, GIFT was created to further develop 49 GIFT offers petroleum trading companies a unique value proposition to enhance their competitive edge.
