Saudi Aramco and Petronas will continue to explore strategic cooperation following the share transfer.

Saudi Aramco, a leading global integrated energy and chemicals company, and Petroliam Nasional Berhad (Petronas) announced today the signing of an agreement to transfer Saudi Aramco’s shares in Pengerang Refining Sdn Bhd and Pengerang Petrochemical Company Sdn Bhd (collectively, “PrefChem”), located in the Pengerang Integrated Complex in Pengerang, Johor, Malaysia, to Petronas.
