No more marginal oil field awards for now


PETRONAS will not proceed with the awarding of new marginal oil fields unless the price of Brent crude settles above US$80 per barrel.

According to Petronas president and chief executive, although the breakeven for marginal oil fields is US$65 per barrel, they will not look into any such proposals until the global price situation stabilises.
