EMA, PetroChina to boost Singapore’s LNG expertise

They will also look into opportunities in developing SG as an Asian LNG hub.

The Energy Market Authority (EMA) has signed a memorandum of understanding with PetroChina International Company Limited (PetroChina) to develop Singapore’s expertise and knowledge on liquefied natural gas (LNG) supply and management.

In a statement, EMA said this is part of efforts to strengthen the city-state’s energy security whilst exploring alternative energy sources.

Part of the agreement is studying opportunities to strengthen each other’s LNG supply chains, promote knowledge exchange regarding market dynamics, LNG supply and demand fundamentals, as well as evaluate joint procurement opportunities.

The parties will also study cooperation opportunities to support growing Singapore as an Asian LNG Hub, gas-to-power, and other sustainable development solutions.

“Our partnership with PetroChina will enhance our knowledge and expertise in the management and procurement of LNG supply, and also bring benefits to both parties through joint LNG procurement to secure better contract terms and pricing,” said Soh Sai Bor, assistant chief executive at EMA.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
