Kerteh is the base of operations for Petronas in Terengganu, overseeing the oil platform operations off the state's coast as well as petrochemicals production,[1] natural gas processing[2] and crude oil refining.[3]
The oil refinery began operating in March 1983 and reached full capacity by late 1983. The crude oil export terminal, used by ExxonMobil, began operating in late 1983.[4] The Gas Processing Plant, which receives natural gas from the offshore,[4] began operations in August 1984.[5] The Gas Processing Plant operates along with the LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) plant, with processed natural gas sent to the Peninsula Gas Utilisation.[4]
