Petronas Reports RM152.4 Billion First-Half Revenue as LNG Volumes Support Malaysia’s Energy Base

Petronas’ first-half revenue reflects stronger production and LNG sales, but cost control, public transfers and energy-transition spending remain key.

Kuala Lumpur, 30 October 2026 – Petroliam Nasional Berhad, better known as Petronas, recorded RM152.4 billion in revenue for the first half of 2026, supported by higher domestic production and increased liquefied natural gas sales volumes. The company also benefited from processed-gas sales and higher average realised prices for key products after a geopolitical crisis in West Asia, while higher crude-oil import and processing costs continued to weigh on the operating environment.

The confirmed figure is the RM152.4 billion revenue total; the wider fiscal and investment implications depend on profit, cash flow, dividends and government transfers, which are not established by revenue alone. Companies across the energy chain will be watching how volumes, prices and costs balance as security and sustainability requirements rise.
