- Panel Session
The panel session will explore how, across Asia Pacific and beyond, significant volumes of gas remain undeveloped, not due to resource scarcity, but because the commercial case remains challenging. High upfront CAPEX for processing facilities, pipelines, CO₂ removal, LNG solutions, and supporting infrastructure continues to hinder project sanction, particularly for high-CO₂ fields that require specialised treatment and carbon management solutions. At the same time, ongoing OPEX, including compression, treatment, logistics, CCUS implementation, and emissions management, places sustained pressure on margins, especially in a volatile gas price environment.
As market dynamics evolve and capital allocation remains selective, the discussion will examine whether stranded gas resources can finally reach the sanction stage, or continue awaiting alignment between pricing, infrastructure readiness, carbon management solutions, and cost discipline.
Topics to be discussed include:
- Regional demand outlook and long-term gas fundamentals
- CAPEX intensity of greenfield versus tie-back developments
- OPEX drivers and cost optimisation strategies
- LNG and pipeline infrastructure readiness
- Monetisation pathways and fiscal incentives
- Gas price projections and breakeven sensitivities
- The role of small-scale LNG, FLNG, and modular development concepts, and CCUS integration for high-CO₂ resources

Marginal and stranded gas developments face subsurface uncertainty and infrastructure constraints, which ultimately lead to high unit costs. This session will explore practical digitalisation strategies that improve project economics by reducing uncertainty, lowering OPEX, and accelerating decisions.
Topics to be discussed include:
- Digital screening and project ranking, integrated asset modelling/digital twins, and AI/ML-enabled interpretation for sparse datasets.
- Production optimisation through real-time surveillance, anomaly detection, and predictive maintenance.
- Case studies, lessons learnt, and challenges such as data governance, quality, integration, and advanced analytics.

Developing a competitive gas project requires a careful balance between production performance, economic feasibility, and strategic development pathways. This session will explore how subsurface potential, surface facility design, and commercial frameworks can be integrated to deliver optimised, cost‑effective gas development concepts. The discussion will highlight approaches to selecting economic facility configurations, including modular, phased, and shared‑infrastructure options that maximise value under uncertain market conditions.
Topics to be discussed include:
- Key drivers that balance production performance and project economics in gas field development.
- Integrated development concepts such as multi-field integration, cluster developments, and shared infrastructure.
- Assess modular, scalable, and low-footprint facilities designs that support reliable and cost-resilient production.
- Frameworks for optimising development concepts under market, reservoir, and cost uncertainties.
- Innovative contracting strategies to reduce execution risks and strengthen project value.
- Lessons learnt and best practices from past and ongoing gas developments to improve concept selection.

This session will explore how policy and fiscal frameworks influence long-term investment confidence and strategic development in the gas sector. Drawing on regional and global lessons, it will highlight approaches that align gas policies with energy transition and decarbonisation goals. The discussion will demonstrate how flexible frameworks can unlock stranded resources, attract investment, and strengthen Malaysia’s upstream competitiveness, providing practical insights for policymakers, regulators, and industry leaders.
Topics to be discussed include:
- Approaches used by countries to manage risks related to long‑term policy stability, gas pricing mechanisms, and regulatory predictability, which are key factors underpinning upstream project viability.
- Strategies for balancing lower-carbon development and commercial viability, showing how governments and industry can maintain attractive project economics
- Insights into Malaysia Petroleum Management (MPM) initiatives, including the introduction of Small Field Production Sharing Contracts (Small Field PSCs) and other adaptive fiscal measures.
- The role of adaptive, transparent, and investment‑friendly policy designs in safeguarding national interests while responding to global market shifts and climate-related imperatives.

This session will focus on practical and emerging strategies for managing gas with high contaminants, emphasising fit-for-purpose treatment technologies, operational best practices, and decision-making frameworks. Participants will gain insights into risks mitigation, processing performance optimisation, regulatory compliance, and improving overall asset reliability when handling contaminated gas streams.
Topics to be discussed include:
- Identifying common impurities in gas streams and evaluate their effects on process efficiency, equipment integrity, safety, and environmental compliance.
- Comparing conventional and advanced gas treatment technologies such as amine systems, membranes, adsorption, dehydration, sulphur recovery, and hybrid solutions for high-contaminant applications.
- Operational and design strategies to handle variable and extreme contaminant levels while maintaining process stability and product quality.
- Analysing cost, energy consumption, reliability, and lifecycle impact of different gas treatment approaches.
- Lessons learnt from field applications involving sour gas, high CO₂ gas, contaminated associated gas, and unconventional gas sources.
