BRUNEI LNG
Established in 1969, Brunei LNG Sdn Bhd is the
first in the Western Pacific to begin large-scale
liquefaction of natural gas. Brunei LNG is one
of the leading suppliers of liquefied natural
gas (LNG), primarily supplying to its customers
in the Asian region. To date, Brunei LNG has
delivered more than 7,400 cargoes. The LNG
is transported via five LNG vessels owned by
Brunei Gas Carriers Sdn Bhd.
Brunei LNG’s 130-hectare plant has five
liquefaction trains capable of processing
9,700m
3
of gas per day, with natural gas
supplied by Brunei Shell Petroleum Company
Sdn Bhd (BSP) and Block B Joint Venture (BBJV)
comprising of Total E&P Borneo BV, Shell and
Petroleum Brunei. Brunei LNG is also the current
sole producer of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG)
in Brunei Darussalam, as a by-product of LNG
at its bottling plant for domestic sales by Brunei
Shell Marketing.
Over the past five decades, Brunei LNG has
invested billions in rejuvenation works to ensure
the plant is continuously upgraded, keeping
in line with safety standards and extending its
lifetime while still delivering its LNG commitment
to its customers. In addition, Brunei’s gas
resource volumes remain strong, supported by
continuous focus on maximising recoveries of
discovered fields underpinned by the application
of advanced technology and innovation solutions
and increasing exploration activities.
In 2020, despite an extremely challenging year
due to COVID-19, Brunei LNG continued to
maintain normal operations and delivered 100
per cent of its committed contractual cargoes.
The company also expanded its customer base
through the sales of spot cargoes.
High-performing workforce
People are Brunei LNG’s driving force, the
engines of its operational excellence and the
essence of the company’s strengths. In support
of the Ministry of Energy’s Bruneianisation
Directive, Brunei LNG has achieved 92 per cent
Bruneianisation employing over 600 employees
working directly for the company.
Brunei LNG also continues to provide employment
and development opportunities for the country’s
youth through programmes such as the Operative
Technicians Progression Scheme and Graduate
Development Programme.
The programmes will ensure that every individual
will have the opportunity to develop to their
maximum potential and become a productive
workforce ready to meet the nation’s manpower
needs.
