Sabah's Energy Future: From Strategic Vision to Economic Value​​
By: PETRONAS (TBC)
​
Narrative:
​
Sabah’s energy journey has been shaped by decades of collaboration with PETRONAS, from the early development of the State’s oil and gas industry to today’s evolving energy landscape. This keynote will provide a strategic stocktake of PETRONAS’ longstanding contribution and investments in Sabah, highlighting key developments and achievements to date, while looking ahead to how this collaboration can be strengthened and expanded into new areas, including clean and lower-carbon energy.
​
Looking towards the medium and long term, the keynote will share PETRONAS’ vision and strategic outlook for Sabah, including the opportunities emerging across the energy value chain as the State advances its energy and economic transformation. It will also explore how closer alignment between PETRONAS’ strategic direction and Sabah’s development planning and policy priorities can create greater clarity, confidence and transparency for industry and investors, helping to unlock new investments, partnerships, technologies and value-creation opportunities in Sabah’s energy sector.​

​
Session Narrative
Sabah’s oil and gas resources remain an important foundation of the State’s economy. Supported by strategic economic planning and an enabling investment environment, new exploration opportunities, deepwater developments, mature-field optimisation and technology deployment can contribute to the next phase of upstream growth.
Realising this potential requires more than resource development alone. It calls for effective collaboration among government, operators, technology providers and the wider oil, gas and energy services and equipment (OGSE) sector to translate investment and project opportunities into lasting economic value for Sabah.
​
For Sabah-based OGSE companies, this presents both an opportunity and a responsibility to continually strengthen technical and technological capabilities, workforce competency, operational performance and competitiveness to meet evolving industry requirements and participate more effectively across the upstream value chain.
​
With sustained leadership support, continued investment and a capable, competitive local industry, Sabah can strengthen local participation, deepen industry capabilities and position its upstream sector for its next phase of growth.

Digitalisation has already transformed how the energy industry collects data, manages assets
and makes decisions. The next frontier is moving intelligence beyond the screen and into the
physical world.
​
Physical AI, robotics, autonomous systems and intelligent automation are creating new
possibilities for energy and industrial operations, particularly in hazardous, remote, repetitive
and complex environments. For Sabah, the opportunity is not simply to adopt emerging
technologies, but to identify where they can deliver measurable gains in safety, efficiency,
productivity and operational resilience.
​
How can technology improve the way we operate? What can machines and AI do differently?

​Session Narrative
Technology will continue to play a crucial role as both enabler and driver that will push the Sabah energy industry to the next phase of growth.
​
To secure and sustain current and future value creation from the various energy related projects and initiatives in Sabah, the expected end-state should reflect the transformative elements that combine technology and human talents.
​
Sabah will need to develop the right expertise with technical, digital and leadership capabilities to complement the increasingly complex nature of the operations as driven by AI, big data analytics, and other intelligent software and hardware.
​
This dialogue looks beyond conventional/traditional skills development to explore human-machine collaboration, reskilling, TVET, certification, AI and emerging industrial roles.
​
The focus is also on how government, industry players, educational institutions and technology providers can collaborate to develop a ready 'workforce of the future' that will sustain the growth of Sabah’s energy and industrial future.
