Japan's JX, Petronas start Malaysia LNG train

JX Nippon Oil & Energy Corp said its venture with Malaysian state oil firm
Petronas has started commercial operations at the ninth liquefaction train
at the Petronas LNG complex in Bintulu, Sarawak.

The train, with a production capacity of 3.6 million tonnes of LNG per year,
started on Jan 1.

JX Nippon Oil, a unit of Japan's biggest oil refiner JX Holdings, last June
bought a 10 per cent equity stake in a Petronas subsidiary that was
developing the ninth train in Malaysia's Sarawak state.

With the launch of the ninth train, the Petronas LNG complex now has the
capacity to produce about 30 million tonnes per year, JX said in a
statement.
