KUALA LUMPUR: Sabah state-owned SMJ Sdn Bhd has acquired a 25% equity interest in PETRONAS Chemicals Fertiliser Sabah Sdn Bhd to give the former greater revenue sharing in the oil and gas industry in the state.
This comes following the recent acquisition of selected downstream gas pipeline assets and supply of natural gas contracts by Sabah Energy Corporation Sdn Bhd (SEC), which makes SEC the largest domestic supplier and transporter of natural gas in Sabah.
