STRENGTH

Petroliam Nasional Berhad (Petronas) is Malaysias national petroleum company. Over the years, it has become a fully-integrated oil and gas corporation with operations in more than 30 countries worldwide. It is ranked among Fortune Global 500's largest corporations in the world. The company delivered another record performance for the fiscal year ended March, 2008. Its strong and diversified base of upstream assets gives the company a significant competitive advantage. Weaknesses Declined Upstream Assets Petronas has strong upstream assets. The company's reserves position is strong in terms of capacity, replacement ratio and geographic diversity. At the end of the fiscal year 2008, the company's proved reserves totaled 26.37 billion boe as compared to 26.49 billion boe. The reserves replacement ratio (RRR) in 2008 was 0.9 times in Malaysia and 0.6 times internationally as compared to 1.4 and 3.2 times during 2007. Lack of proper reserve replacement as compared to the previous year could impact the company's plans of increasing its sales and maintaining a stable supply source. Refinery Disruption The company's overseas refinery in Durban, South Africa suffered disruption of operations during the fiscal 2008. The company's production from the plant declined by 9.1% owing to unplanned shutdowns as a result of fire. As a result the company's supply and distribution operations got affected. Disruption of operations resulted in financial losses and operational adjustments. The company also suffered similar loss by fire in its home country storage facility in 2006. Continuing disruption in operations by mishaps could lead to huge cumulative losses in the near future. It would not only affect the operations but also lengthen the sales cycles thereby reducing the profitability.
