PETROLIAM Nasional Bhd (Petronas) expects greater contribution from its manufacturing activities, which will generate about RM51bil to the group over the next few years, its president and chief executive officer Tan Sri Hassan Marican said.
Over the past five to seven years, we had invested quite a large sum of money in such facilities as gas, hydro-chemicals and so on. Now the plants have reached their stable state of production and are beginning to give us those revenues. They are also adding value to the various oil and gas chains,'' he said.
