iinm ...bhp purchased fuel from singapore company ..which is euro 3 ..meanwhile other are used euro 2M

once awhile..local oil companies will get products from oversea if their refineries unable to meet the local demand but not always.. if a local O&G company get their product direct for singapore...for sure it will subject for import tax , not to mention paying more (exchange rate), extra cost such as off coast oil tankers to send the shipment, storage area and etc yet they sell it at Euro2M price? u think bhp is doing national service or charity ? tongue.gif O&G companies can sell higher grade products but our gomen not going to pay extra subsidy for it and the retail prices still the same..

From what I learn by my previous working experience in O&G, all of our petrols are purchased from other countries.. We do not not use our own petroleum as car petrols...

Reason? It's because our petroleum is of higher grade and quality, so it is suitable for those usage such as jet fuel and etc... Car petrol do not need such high grade, so it will be a waste to use it as car petrols...

u got it half right....last time our crude oil can fetch higher price because due to low sulfur content and we import cheapo crude oils from somewhere else... but now not the case anymore...

how many of u out there know that the world's most cleanest fossil fuel with almost zero sulfur was born in malaysia.... smile.gif

There is 1 refinery train in Malacca right that produces almost zero sulfur content. I know they export those diesel to California.

no one able to do so in commercial scale except for shell... the only prototype plant is in bintulu... the first and only full scale commercial production plant is in Qatar... google Pearl GTL

Bro where did you get your source from?

Pearl GTL based on your advice via Google, it all links to Gas liquification. I know in Bintulu there is also where Petronas Gas Berhad has their plants there as well.

What has that got to do with petrol or diesel with almost zero sulfur or ULSD?
*
GTL = Gas to Liquids....meaning converting Gas back to liquid.in conventional way, petroleum products are produce thru fractional distillation of crude oil and u will get gas, jet fuel, gasoline, kerosene,diesel, lub and bitumen... the plant in sarawak is known as Shell MSD Sdn Bhd...a plant with multi capabilities..
