As jobs visibility improves, 2012 should generally be a better year for the Malaysian O&G industry compared to 2011. This year and next year’s focus should still be on marginal oilfields. OSK expects the overlap of marginal oilfield and deepwater activities to boost O&G services providers’ utilization rates to their peaks.
The development of onshore O&G projects would also continue to hog the headlines moving forward.
OSK Maintains Overweight on the sector, with Kencana Petroleum and Dialog Group being the top picks.
