KUALA LUMPUR (May 12): Petra Energy Bhd announced that its subsidiary, Petra Resources Sdn Bhd, has been awarded a subcontract from Malaysia Marine and Heavy Engineering Sdn Bhd (MMHE) for the Kasawari CCS project.

In a press release on Friday (May 12), Petra Energy stated that the contract is for the hook up and commissioning works for the project, located off Sarawak, and that the subcontract is for a duration between March 2023 and December 2025.

"The subcontract is expected to contribute positively to the earnings and net assets per share of PEB Group for the duration of the subcontract works.

"Being given the opportunity to undertake work for one of the largest offshore CCS projects in the world is a meaningful achievement for PEB," said the company in the statement.
