KOTA KINABALU (June 12): Petronas is expected to make several major announcements during the 12th Sabah Oil, Gas & Energy Conference & Exhibition (SOGCE), said Sabah Oil & Gas Development Corporation (SOGDC) chief executive officer Datuk Harun Ismail.

“I believe this year’s SOGCE will be a very important event because I’ve heard that Petronas is planning to make significant announcements there,” Harun said at a press conference held at the SOGDC office in Wisma Innoprise today.

He added that there may be two or three announcements by Malaysia Petroleum Management (MPM) senior vice president Datuk Ir Bacho Pilong.

“I’m not sure what the announcements will be, but I understand they will be good news for Sabah,” he said.SOGCE 2025 is scheduled to take place from July 3 to 4 at the Sabah International Convention Centre, with the theme “Fostering Collaboration, Paving Sustainable Opportunities.”

The annual event is the only oil, gas, and energy-focused conference and exhibition held in Sabah, bringing together industry leaders, policymakers, and stakeholders.

Organising chairperson Dolly Jimayol said the conference will span one and a half days and feature high-level discussions, including on sustainability pathways and the emerging blue economy.

She added that the exhibition will run concurrently, showcasing innovations and technologies from 90 local and international companies in the energy sector.

“This year’s SOGCE remains a platform for business matching, learning and industry collaboration,” Dolly said. “We will also host youth engagement programmes and B2B meeting platforms.”

“SOGCE isn’t just a business event — it’s a catalyst for Sabah’s economic development. We urge local oil and gas services and equipment (OGSE) companies, SMEs, youth, university and secondary school students, and the public to attend,” she added.
