Private 5G Network Deployed at PETRONAS LNG Complex Bintulu Will Accelerate Digital Innovation in the Energy Industry

BINTULU, August 8, 2024 – The oil and gas (O&G) sector plays a vital part in  Malaysia’s economy, contributing approximately 20 per cent to the nation’s gross  domestic product (GDP), according to the Malaysia Investment Development  Authority.  

The sector’s ecosystem comprises more than 3,500 O&G businesses in Malaysia, including international oil companies, support and service providers, as well as  manufacturers.  

As such, it is imperative that local O&G players accelerate their digital transformation through technologies, such as 5G, to maintain their competitiveness in an  increasingly challenging energy market. 

Minister of Digital, YB Gobind Singh Deo emphasised the role of 5G technology in  various sectors, including O&G. 

“5G is among the key technologies that is gaining importance. The technology, which offers ultra-high speed coupled with low latency communication between control  hubs, production sites and vessels, helps to streamline the growing complexity in  operational activities,” Gobind said.  

“Increased use of 5G-enabled intelligent systems such as industrial IoT, drones, robotics, extended reality (XR), and artificial intelligence (AI) enhances operational  efficiency and safety”. 

Gobind said this at a ceremony inaugurating the deployment of a private 5G network at the PETRONAS LNG Complex in Bintulu, Sarawak. This deployment is a  collaboration between PETRONAS and Telekom Malaysia (TM), and is supported by  Digital Nasional Berhad (DNB). 

The event was attended by the Sarawak Deputy Minister of Utilities and Telecommunications, Datuk Liwan Lagang; Encik Abang Yusuf Abang Puteh,  Senior  Vice President, LNG Assets, Gas and Maritime Business, PETRONAS; Mohamed  Syazwan Abdullah @ Laga Jenggi, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer,  PETRONAS Malaysia LNG Group of Companies; Amar Huzaimi Md Deris, TM  Group Chief Executive Officer; and DNB Chief Strategy Officer, Datuk Ahmad Zaki  Zahid. 

Following the historic launch of Malaysia's first private 5G network for enterprise at  PETRONAS’ Regasification Terminal Sungai Udang (RGTSU) Melaka in 2022, the  new Bintulu site is one of four locations equipped with the technology. 

The PETRONAS LNG Complex is the world’s third largest liquefied natural gas  (LNG) plant in a single location, with a production capacity of 29.8 million tonnes per  annum. Deployment of the 5G network is expected to improve productivity and  increase operational efficiency, and safety across critical production processes.  

Gobind added that the adoption of 5G technology in the O&G sector globally is growing steadily.  

“According to a ResearchAndMarkets.com report, while specific adoption rates can vary, the global market for 5G in oil and gas is expected to grow at a compound  annual growth rate (CAGR) of nearly 26 percent from 2023 to 2030. Energy  companies around the world are racing to modernise their operations, and I applaud  PETRONAS, TM and DNB for taking the lead in digitalising Malaysia’s energy  sector.” 

Gobind also said the ongoing effort to accelerate 5G adoption among various enterprises is crucial for Malaysia’s digital transformation. 

“I am happy to note that more and more Malaysian enterprises, from large multinational corporations to SMEs, are discovering how 5G can enable a multitude  of digital solutions to improve productivity and increase operational efficiency and  safety across critical production processes,” he said. 

“We are seeing the development of private 5G networks and use cases undergoing proof-of-concept trials within the manufacturing, transportation and logistics  industries, among others. 5G is also powering smart city solutions in municipalities  and townships such as Putrajaya. 

“DNB, an agency under the Ministry of Digital, continues to actively advocate the adoption of 5G technology among enterprises, through collaborations with industry  associations such as the Federation of Malaysian Manufacturers, as well as  international technology and telecommunications companies. 

“Such efforts truly align with the Ministry of Digital and the MADANI government’s vision to transform Malaysia into a digital nation,” he added.
