Petronas keen to work with Norwegian firms
PETRONAS is keen to work with Norwegian oil and gas firms to leverage on their expertise in deepwater exploration, said newly appointed president and chief executive officer of Petronas Datuk Shamsul Azhar Abbas.
Malaysia's state-backed Petronas -- which received the regulatory nod from the Canadian government to buy Progress Energy Resources Corp on Dec. 7 -- is aiming to create ``thousands'' of jobs in the Canadian natural gas industry, as it pours billions of investment dollars into developing its newly-acquired assets.
