ABOUT
PETRONAS
Petroliam Nasional Berhad (PETRONAS) is Malaysia’s fully integrated oil and gas
multinational with proven capabilities in a broad spectrum of the petroleum value chain.
Building on the success of managing Malaysia’s oil and gas field resources, PETRONAS
has grown into a major global oil and gas company.
PETRONAS strives to contribute to the wellbeing of the people and nations wherever
it operates by developing and adding value to oil and gas resources in a manner that
carefully balances commercial, environmental and social considerations.
TECHNOLOGY THE DIFFERENTIATOR
In today’s challenging market environment, PETRONAS leverages technology as a key differentiator in order to gain a Drilling Solutions
competitive advantage. The organisation is a foremost provider of industry technologies and engineering innovation, pursuing
new research frontiers relentlessly and redefining solutions which are economically more competitive and exert superior In drilling, the objective is to conduct operations safely and efficiently. Technologies that support this include MG3DF™, a high

The thrust to constantly push the envelope and develop cutting edge technological solutions to challenges faced in the field
Flow Assurance enables PETRONAS to maintain its position as an industry leader.
To maintain productivity, cutting-edge solutions have been created to handle solid deposition, emulsion treatment and sand
management. The common issue of clogged wells is addressed by SolidClenzTM, a custom-designed formulation that
effectively cleans out bores and tubings, increasing production significantly. Another innovation, PETRONAS Sand Solutions, is a
comprehensive methodology utilising proprietary engineering tools for sand management in oil and gas production facilities.
ENHANCED OIL RECOVERY (EOR)
..............................................................................................................................
Following the exploitation of oil/gas fields, production will begin a progressive decline and subsequently reach the
mature stage through pressure depletion. In PETRONAS, extensive efforts are in place to increase the recoverable
resources and/or production via Improved Oil Recovery (Primary and Secondary Recovery Mechanism) and
ultimately Enhanced Oil Recovery (Tertiary Recovery). Implementation of new technologies has made an impact
on increasing recovery rates and with continued technological advancement, there are still massive opportunities
for further improvement. The goal is to increase oil recovery from the historical average of 35% and optimise
production thus increasing value from the matured fields.
EOR technology includes the use of external energy added to the reservoir fluid system. Fundamental changes
occur to physicochemical properties of displacing or displaced fluids. (i.e. density, interfacial tension & viscosity).

SUSTAINABILITY
Sustainability
..............................................................................................................................
PETRONAS proactively pursues environmentally friendly and sustainable initiatives. R&D in this area is aimed at
achieving sustainability through business diversification and monetisation of non-carbon feedstock as replacement
for petroleum-based products. Two programmes that have yielded exciting results are Bio-MEG and Bio-Polyols.
The platform for direct conversion of palm waste feedstock to Bio-MEG, or bio-based mono ethylene glycol, is
robust, carbon-efficient and competitive, with 30% higher conversion efficiency than the bio-ethanol route.
Another robust synthesis approach involves the production of bio-based polyols and polyol esters from palm oil
based fatty acids. The products from this process, which are important intermediates in the production of
polyurethanes (PU) and lubricants, perform on par with petroleum derived equivalents.
TESTIMONIALS
+ Strong business growth potential due to the simplicity and robustness of these technologies
+ ‘Palm-based Polyester Polyols and Polyol Esters’ won the IChemE Malaysia Awards 2015 in the Sustainable
