Update: Petronas' LNG units repairing output interruptions at Bintulu site
Malaysian state energy firm Petroliam Nasional (Petronas) is in the midst of repairing a production interruption at its Bintulu LNG complex that occurred on April 8, the company said in a statement issued on Friday, from the site's operators Malaysia LNG and Malaysia LNG Dua.
"Rectification and start-up activities to resume operations at the affected modules are currently in progress," the statement said. "MLNG is focusing all efforts to minimize any impact and fulfil its contractual commitments."
Industry sources said on Thursday that the Bintulu complex was experiencing production issues due to problems with a boiler, though off-takers said supply was not expected to be affected.
The Bintulu complex in the state of Sarawak on Borneo island is Petronas' flagship liquefied natural gas (LNG) facility, with an annual production capacity of 29.3 metric MMtpy .
Malaysia was the world's fifth-largest LNG exporter last year, according to data from Kpler, shipping out nearly 28 MMt of the super-chilled fuel mainly to buyers in Japan, China and South Korea.
