Tan Sri Pairin, accompanied by his Ministry’s senior officials, was welcomed by Chairman, Sabah and Labuan, PETRONAS, Encik Joseph Podtung; Head of Petroleum Resource Development, Petroleum Management Unit, PETRONAS, Encik Muhammad Zamri Jusoh; and SOGT Project Director, Encik Noor Ilias Md Idris.
 The Deputy Chief Minister was briefed on the current progress of the project, which covers a land area of about 260 acres at Kimanis Bay, 65km southwest of Kota Kinabalu. This was followed by an observation of the project from the viewing tower located near the entrance to the main site office.

In his remark, Tan Sri Pairin underlined the importance of the SOGT project to Sabah, saying it would bring about a lot of positive changes to the state and the people.
 “The SOGT project is most welcome. That’s why we go all out to assist in the implementation of the project. Our visit today indicates that we are serious in looking into how the SOGT is progressing,” the Deputy Chief Minister said.
The SOGT – an onshore oil and gas receiving, storage, processing and export terminal – will receive oil and gas via subsea pipelines from three offshore upstream projects namely Gumusut-Kakap, Kebabangan Cluster and Kinabalu NAG.
 The gas output from the SOGT will also be channeled to the nearby power plants to generate more electricity for Sabah.
 SOGT’s development, consisting of common utilities and facilities to receive gas, is expected to be ready by the second quarter of 2013.
 Once fully completed, the SOGT will have a capacity of 260 kbpd of oil and 1,250 mmscfd of natural gas.

Meanwhile, Encik Joseph Podtung, who is also Head of PETRONAS Carigali’s Sabah Operations, said the SOGT project was progressing well at 90.2 per cent completion. The administration complex is 53 per cent completed and target to be ready by the first quarter of 2013.

“The SOGT is an important project as it will enable the development of offshore fields,” he said, adding that the project also provided opportunities to Sabah-based contractors as well as employment to Sabahans.

He also expressed gratitude to the state government and its agencies for giving the project a full support.

Other projects currently being developed by PETRONAS in Sabah include the Kimanis Power Plant, the Lahad Datu Re-gasification Terminal and the Sabah Ammonia Urea Plant in Sipitang.
