KUCHING: Sarawak will continue to assert its right to regulate the oil and gas industry in the state while pursuing royalties based on production, says Datuk Patinggi Abang Johari Tun Openg.

The Chief Minister said Petronas was now in discussions with the state-owned oil and gas company Petroleum Sarawak Bhd (Petros), pursuant to the passing of the Oil Mining Ordinance (Amendment) Bill in the Sarawak Legislative Assembly earlier this month.
