About Shell Sarawak Berhad
Shell Sarawak Berhad: Fueling Malaysia's Energy Sector
Shell Sarawak Berhad is a subsidiary of Royal Dutch Shell, one of the world's largest oil and gas companies. With a history dating back over 125 years, Shell has been at the forefront of the energy industry, providing innovative solutions to meet the world's growing demand for energy.
In Malaysia, Shell has been operating for more than 125 years and is one of the country's leading oil and gas companies. The company has a strong presence in both upstream and downstream activities, with operations spanning across exploration, production, refining, marketing and distribution.
Shell Upstream: Efficient Development and Extraction
Shell Upstream is responsible for exploring for crude oil and natural gas offshore. The company uses advanced technology to identify potential reserves in deep waters that were previously inaccessible. Once identified, Shell Upstream focuses on efficient development and extraction techniques to maximize production while minimizing environmental impact.
One example of this is Shell's Malikai project off the coast of Sabah. This deep-water project utilizes innovative technologies such as subsea pumping systems to extract crude oil from depths exceeding 500 meters.
In addition to its offshore operations, Shell also operates onshore fields in Sarawak through its joint venture with Petronas Carigali Sdn Bhd (PCSB). These fields produce natural gas which is used domestically as well as exported via pipelines to neighboring countries such as Singapore.
Shell Downstream: Manufacturing Quality Oil Products
The main activity of Shell Downstream in Malaysia is in the manufacturing, marketing and distribution of high-quality oil products including various grades of fuels (petrol/diesel), lubricants (engine oils/greases) and bitumen (asphalt).
One notable facility operated by Shell Downstream in Malaysia is its Port Dickson Refinery located on Peninsular Malaysia’s west coast. This refinery produces a range of products including gasoline/diesel fuel components that are blended into finished fuels sold at retail stations throughout Malaysia.
Another key area where Shell excels within downstream activities is lubricants manufacturing. In fact, according to Kline & Company’s Global Lubricants Industry report published in 2020; “Shell remains one among few global leaders who have managed not only maintain but also grow their market share despite challenging market conditions.”
