The ConocoPhillips withdrawal from Sarawak in question

ConocoPhillips withdrew from the RM13.7 billion Salam-Patawali deepwater oil project in Sarawak, citing a “country strategy review,” though industry sources point to regulatory uncertainty from the Petronas-Sarawak dispute. Batu Kitang assemblyperson Lo Khere Chiang sees this as an opportunity for Sarawak to assert greater control via Petroleum Sarawak Berhad (Petros). He suggests a 50:50 profit-sharing model with Petros, allocating 5% to the federal government. Lo remains optimistic, stating Sarawak’s open investment climate will attract new investors if ConocoPhillips does not return.

“The door to future investment in Sarawak is not closed. It could very well remain open for ConocoPhillips to re-engage, this time with Sarawak represented by Petros and on terms that are fairer for Sarawak.” – Lo Khere Chian.
