Petronas LNG, JOGMEC partner to boost Japan's energy security, LNG supply
KUALA LUMPUR: Petroliam Nasional Bhd's (Petronas) subsidiary Petronas LNG Sdn Bhd (PLSB) has partnered with Japan Organisation for Metals and Energy Security (JOGMEC) to explore strategic bilateral arrangements in the liquefied natural gas (LNG) sector.
In a statement today, Petronas said the collaboration aims to broaden their cooperation framework, focusing on long-term LNG supply initiatives.
The partnership will also facilitate discussions on enhancing Japan's energy security, including strategies to ensure stable supply and mitigate potential disruptions.
The memorandum of cooperation (MoC) was signed by Petronas vice president of LNG Marketing & Trading Shamsairi Mohd Ibrahim and JOGMEC executive vice president of energy business Hiroyuki Mori during the Energy Asia 2025 conference held recently in Kuala Lumpur.
Shamsairi said the MoC underscores Petronas' role as a trusted and consistent LNG supplier to the country since 1983 and the group takes pride in its long-standing partnership with Japan.
"This partnership is especially timely, aligning with the momentum of Energy Asia, where regional collaboration and strengthening the region's energy security were at the forefront of the dialogues," he added.
