Politics and speculation aside, PFLNG 1 is the realization of a corporate vision that should make Malaysians proud! It comprises several square kilometers of production (extraction), processing and offloading facilities built onto a 365 metre long (equivalent to 75 floors of the PETRONAS Twin Towers) floating structure.

PFLNG1, PETRONAS’ first floating LNG facility with a capacity of 1.2 million tons per annum (mtpa) is expected to commission in early 2016 in the Kanowit gas field, 180 kilometers offshore Bintulu, Sarawak. Fabrication is underway in Okpo, South Korea.

The nine tribes of the Lax Kwalaams Band have claims to this land that stretch back 10,000 years.
