How will the Distribution of Gas Ordinance 2016 be resolved?

Question

Accepted Answer

A Joint Statement from the Prime Minister and Sarawak Premier Will Address the Distribution of Gas Ordinance 2016

An official statement detailing the resolution of issues concerning the Distribution of Gas Ordinance (DGO) 2016, arising from discussions between Petroliam Nasional Berhad (Petronas) and Petroleum Sarawak Berhad (Petros), will be jointly issued by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and Sarawak Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Openg. State utility and telecommunications minister Datuk Seri Julaihi Narawi has expressed strong confidence that the two leaders will achieve a mutual agreement on these matters.
Sarawak's Sole Gas Aggregator Status Confirmed

Under the provisions of the DGO 2016, Petroleum Sarawak Berhad (Petros) is unequivocally designated as the sole authorised gas aggregator within Sarawak. This legal framework specifically governs the distribution of gas and does not extend to matters concerning crude oil.
Potential Non-Compliance Allegations

Recent media reports have indicated that the Sarawak government issued a letter of demand to Petronas Carigali Sdn Bhd (PCSB). This action is reportedly due to alleged non-compliance with Section 7(e) of the DGO 2016, specifically in relation to the operation of a facility owned by PCSB located at the Miri Crude Oil Terminal (MCOT).
Leaders to Announce Resolution

Datuk Seri Julaihi Narawi stated that the Prime Minister and the Sarawak Premier have already met to deliberate on the Petros-Petronas issue, which encompasses the DGO 2016. He believes a joint statement will be forthcoming from them once the appropriate time arrives, signalling a resolution to the ongoing discussions.
