Background
Petronas is planning to build a nearshore FLNG terminal in Sabah, Malaysia, with a minimum capacity of 2 mtpa.[6] The terminal will have two trains and be powered by a nearby gas-fired power station.[7]
In December 2021, Petronas announced it had awarded two FEED contracts to Japan's JGC and South Korea's Samsung Heavy Industries.[6]
In April 2022, Petronas signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Sabah Oil & Gas Development Corporation (SOGDC) to develop the terminal, with SOGDC supporting Petronas through the regulatory process.[8]
In December 2022, Petronas took a final investment decision, with the facility scheduled to achieve commercial operations by the second half of 2027.[9] The same month it was announced that Petronas would employ Japan's JGC and South Korea's Samsung Heavy Industries to build the terminal.[10]
In January 2023, Petronas awarded JGC Corp. and Samsung Heavy Industries Co. Ltd. (SHI) the engineering, procurement, construction (EPC), and commissioning contract for the FLNG.[11]
In April 2024, Petronas held a groundbreaking ceremony to announce the start of construction of the facility.[12]
As of 2025, Petronas was seeking a loan of over US$1 billion for the project.[13][14] In November 2025, SMJ bought a 25% stake in PFLNG 3.[15]
