T
he discovery of petroleum in Miri in the 19th
century is generally takenas the startingpoint of the
Malaysian oil and gas industry. It was with the
establishment of national oil and gas company
PETRONAS that the industry has truly grown by
quantum leaps.
PETRONAS’ stewardship of domestic oil and gas
players created a strong ecosystem of services and
manufacturing companies that are able to support
theneeds of theoil andgas valuechainbothdomesticallyand regionally. As a
result of this exponential growth, Malaysia has developed skills andcapabilities
and gained a reputation as a global centre for the oil and gas industry. The
directoryprovides informationof companies coveringall aspects of theoil and
gas services, including fabrication and construction, engineering, logistics,
installationand services.
As the national trade promotion agency, we strive to provide world-class
business friendly support anddevelop initiatives thatwill benefit industryplayers
as well as giveMalaysia-based industries the competitive edge. To unveil the
exciting opportunities that abound within the industry, we are pleased to
release the Malaysia Exporters of Oil and Gas Services and Related Products

I believe international companies in the sector will find this directory a useful
reference to establish business contacts with Malaysian companies offering
services andproducts for theoil andgas industry.
