According to the company’s press release on October 8, 2022, PETRONAS has declared Force Majeure (FM) on gas supply to MLNG Dua due to a pipeline leak caused by soil movement at the vicinity of KP201, Sabah-Sarawak Gas Pipeline (SSGP) that occurred on 21 September 2022.
This has impacted the supply of gas to MLNG Dua’s production facility at PETRONAS LNG Complex (PLC) in Bintulu, Sarawak.
PETRONAS wishes to clarify that the FM affects the supply of gas to MLNG Dua’s production facility only, while the other LNG production facilities within the PLC continue to operate as planned.
PETRONAS is mindful that this incident has impacted its delivery commitments to some of its contracted Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) buyers and it is in discussions to identify suitable mitigation efforts.
PETRONAS is currently conducting a comprehensive evaluation of the SSGP to ensure the integrity and safety of the pipeline.
