CEO Mr. Datuk Abdullah Karim from PCSB, Chairman Mr. Abdul Hamed from NAIM and Samsung Engineering's CEO Park Ki-Seok along with 17 other relevant officials were in attendance.
The plant will be built in the Sabah region in Malaysia, with a capacity of 300,000 BPSD of oil and 1,250 MMSCFD of gas, which will account for 40% of Malaysia's crude oil production.
Samsung Engineering will lead Engineering, Procurement, Construction and Commissioning work with local partner NCSB Engineering and will form an EPCC Alliance Integrated Team with the client. The plant plans to be mechanically completed in December 2013.
