History

Malaysia LNG was incorporated on 4 June 1978 and the first liquefied natural gas (LNG) was delivered in 1983.

Plant description

The LNG plant is located in Bintulu, in the Malaysian state of Sarawak. It consists of 8 LNG trains of which three belong to MLNG Satu (the first joint venture), three to MLNG DUA and two to MLNG 3. All three projects are located on one site, all use liquefaction technology developed by Air Products & Chemicals Int. (APCI) and share common facilities. In 2005, the total installed capacity was 21.85 million ton per annum (mtpa) of LNG and there was an upgrading project to increase the capacity by 1.4 mtpa.

The LNG plant acquires its natural gas from 125 kilometres (80 mi) to 225 kilometres (140 mi) offshore of Bintulu from its partners Petronas Carigali and Royal Dutch Shell.

Markets

In 2005, Malaysia LNG exported 21.85 million ton of LNG. LNG is exported through Bintulu port ex-ship (for all term Japanese sales) and FOB (for some Korean volumes) on various sized ships. Malaysia Dua has agreed a sale ex-ship to Sendai City Gas and Saibu Gas using small ships. These vessels of 18,928 cu.m. can cause some operational problems as they are relatively slow in loading and occupy one of the berths at Bintulu that is also used for larger ships.

MLNG Japan buys 65% of Malaysian LNG, and this represented 22% of Japan's LNG requirements in 2005. Other importers are Korea (26%) and Taiwan (9%). In addition to the export on a long-term basis, MLNG also sells LNG on the spot market to the Asia region and the Atlantic Basin.

Ownership

Malaysia LNG is a subsidiary of the Malaysian national oil and gas company Petronas. Besides Petronas, Royal Dutch Shell, Mitsubishi and the Sarawak Government hold a minority stake.
