Petronas to scale up CCS job at oil field

“This will potentially be one of the world’s largest CCS projects,” CEO Tengku Muhammad Taufik Tengku Aziz said in an interview broadcast at the Reuters Impact conference.

SINGAPORE: Petroliam Nasional Bhd (Petronas) plans to scale up a carbon capture and storage (CCS) project as part of the second phase of development at the Kasawari gas field off Sarawak, according to its chief executive officer (CEO).

The CCS project at the field, which is estimated to hold three trillion cubic feet of gas reserves, is key to the state energy firm’s plans to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
