Abstract

Malaysia has two (2) main areas separated by the South China Sea, namely Peninsular Malaysia (bordered with Thailand in the north and Singapore in the south) and West Malaysia (the northern part of Borneo Island, which is bordered with Indonesia in the South and Brunei in the North). Malaysia is located close to the equatorial line, with the Latitude of 1o and 7o North and Longitudes of 100o and 119o East Malaysia. The land area of Malaysia covers 330,534 square kilometres. As of 1 January 2019, Malaysia’s crude oil reserve stood at 4.675 billion barrels. Sarawak constituted about 36% and the rest lies in Sabah and Peninsular Malaysia at 32% each. The ratio of current reserves over production in 2019 showed that Malaysia can sustain its crude oil production, including condensates, for the next 21 years. As of 1 January 2019, total natural gas reserves were 79.168 trillion standard cubic feet (Tscf), of which 58% are found in Sarawak, 27% in Peninsular Malaysia, and the other 15% in Sabah. Total associated gas reserves stood at 9.901 Tscf, while non-associated gas reserves stood at 69.267 Tscf in 2019. Natural gas could be sustained for another 32 years. The latest reserve of coal in Malaysia as of 2019 was 1.918 million tonnes. Of the total amount, about 80% is found in Sarawak, 19% in Sabah, and only 1% in Peninsular Malaysia. In Sarawak, coal is produced from the areas of Merit-Pila, Silantek, and Mukah Balingian.
