Petronas also aims to expand its overseas portfolio to 700,000 boepd by 2030 as it ramps up output from its Canada LNG joint venture, said Adif and Mohamed Firouz Asnan, senior vice president, Malaysia petroleum management, upstream business.
Mohamed Firouz said the 2 million boepd of domestic production is expected to be maintained until 2030.
