Malaysian oil project

CHINA Petrochemical Corp and two partners yesterday said they plan to develop a "marginal" oilfield off the coast of Terengganu state in Malaysia.

China Petrochemical, or Sinopec Group, will hold 40 percent of the project and invest between US$400 million and US$700 million, according to a joint statement from the firms released in Kuala Lumpur. The partners are International Oil Design & Construction Sdn and Sabio Technology Sdn.

Malaysia is offering financial incentives such as investment tax allowances and lower taxes to encourage the development of less-profitable fields. The government is counting on these fields to help boost output in the nation, the second-largest oil and gas producer in southeast Asia, as energy demand rises.
