KUCHING, Nov 11: Petroleum Sarawak Bhd (PETROS) has agreed to supply natural gas to OCI TerraSus, a South Korean solar materials manufacturer, making it the first industrial customer at Samalaju Industrial Park (SIP), Bintulu, to receive natural gas from PETROS.
In a press statement, OCI TerraSus said it signed a gas sales agreement with PETROS. The gas will support boiler operations and steam generation at its plant in SIP.
The agreement also marks an important milestone in expanding access to natural gas for industrial users in SIP.
Supported by the Samalaju Pipeline Project (SPL) and the upcoming Samalaju Industrial Park Ring Main (SIPR) Pipeline, the strengthened gas connectivity will provide OCI TerraSus with access to natural gas to meet its operational energy requirements and support the continuity of its production activities.
For OCI TerraSus, access to natural gas will diversify its energy sources, strengthen operational resilience amid evolving energy supply conditions and improve efficiency and cost competitiveness in steam production. This will support the company’s long-term operational sustainability.
The agreement was formalised today at a signing ceremony by OCI TerraSus president, Chung Seung Yong and PETROS senior vice president for Asset, Victor Maiyor.
OCI TerraSus is a wholly owned subsidiary of South Korea’s OCI Holdings, which produces high-purity solar-grade polysilicon, an essential raw material used in the manufacture of silicon wafers and photovoltaic cells for solar panels. – DayakDaily
