Two offshore gas fields could feed Malaysia's liquefied natural gas plant. TotalEnergies signed a deal.
TotalEnergies signed a deal to develop the Lang Lebah and B14 offshore gas fields in Malaysia, unlocking over 6.5 trillion cubic feet of gas resources. The project aims to supply the Malaysia LNG liquefaction plant with around 10 billion cubic meters per annum. TotalEnergies will hold a stake upon regulatory approval.
