Upstream

Exploring for and producing oil and gas offshore Malaysia.

Overview

Our upstream business finds, develops and produces oil and natural gas from three operated hubs offshore Malaysia and partner-operated interests across Southeast Asia. Gas makes up 62 percent of output and supplies our LNG plant at Tanjung Kilau.

Upstream is the foundation of Baskara. In FY2025 we produced an average of 412 thousand barrels of oil equivalent a day, 2.2 percent more than in 2024, at a unit production cost of US$6.40 per barrel of oil equivalent.

Our priority is to keep the gas hubs on plateau while lowering the emissions of every barrel we produce. Beting Emas Phase 2, sanctioned in March 2026, extends the cluster's plateau beyond 2030 using existing platforms and pipelines, which keeps both cost and emissions intensity low.

We manage our resource base conservatively. At 31 December 2025, proved plus probable reserves stood at 1.9 billion barrels of oil equivalent, around 12.6 years of production at current rates.

Strategy

Our priorities

  1. Hold the gas hubs on plateau

    Infill wells and Beting Emas Phase 2 keep supply to Tanjung Kilau steady through the decade.

  2. Lower emissions per barrel

    Electrification, flare gas recovery and leak detection on every operated platform.

  3. Replace what we produce

    Near-field exploration around existing hubs, where discoveries can be tied back quickly.
