Spotlight on the UK and EIC Pavilion
September hails the start of a busy season for the International Trade team. We start the month with two shows in one week: Oil & Gas Asia in Kuala Lumpur and Offshore Europe in Aberdeen.
The EIC is delighted to once again be hosting the UK and EIC pavilion at OGA 2025, taking place on 2-4 September in Kuala Lumpur
Organised by the Energy Industries Council (EIC), Oil & Gas Asia (OGA) presents an ideal ground for oil and gas stakeholders to meet key decision makers from national and international oil companies and at the same time attain current and relevant information on the trends, technology and solutions of the industry.
Over the years, Malaysia has strategically strengthened its role in supporting the oil and gas value chain, both domestically and regionally. This aligns with the country’s goal of becoming a regional oil and gas hub. As the secondlargest oil producer in south east Asia and the fifth-largest global LNG exporter, Malaysia plays a key role in the industry. In the APAC region, the oil and gas sector is projected to see US$852bn in investments by 2030.
Alongside this thriving oil and gas industry, the APAC region’s offshore wind market has gained momentum, supported by substantial investments that are expected to reach a CAPEX of US$222bn by 2030. In addition, the APAC region is accelerating its energy transition with investments in carbon capture and hydrogen, with 280 projects planned by 2030 – 71 in carbon capture and 209 in hydrogen.
The EIC and UK pavilion is a launchpad for companies looking to build global relationships, showcase their expertise and tap into new markets. We are pleased to welcome 11 companies into the pavilion this year. To find out more about companies exhibiting within the pavilion see page 6 of this edition of Inside Energy.

EICDataStream tracks over 3,400 projects in the region as of June 2025. Mature renewables and energy transition account for 67%, reflecting a regional pivot towards clean energy such as solar, wind, hydrogen, carbon capture, energy storage and biofuels. Project announcements for the energy transition doubled, rising from 146 in 2023 to 313 in 2024. This growth surpasses the number of projects in the oil and gas sector, signalling growing momentum towards decarbonisation strategies. However, despite the focus on clean energy, conventional power project announcements in the first half of 2025 have nearly matched the total announced in 2024. This trend is largely driven by new projects in China and India, where governments are responding to rising electricity demand from the rapid expansion of data centres and ensuring stable electricity supply. In addition, the oil and gas sector has remained relatively stable. This is due to continued LNG demand and energy security efforts across major producing countries.
The region presents a total of US$2.87tn in potential investment across all energy sectors by 2031. Renewables represent the largest share of CAPEX at 21.6%, driven mainly by solar and wind. This growth is key to support the region’s hydrogen ambitions, as scaling renewables will be essential to achieving green hydrogen production goals. Downstream oil and gas follows closely at 17.3%, driven by investments in refining and petrochemical projects in key markets such as India, China and Indonesia. Nuclear new-builds represent 8.4% of CAPEX, highlighting growing interest in nuclear, particularly in China and India where project pipelines are expanding.
Source: EICDataStream
Figure 3 highlights India and China are leading the capital investments with an estimated CAPEX of over US$600bn each by 2031, followed by Australia (US$533bn) and Indonesia (US$324bn). India, China and Indonesia have some of the highest planned investments in oil and gas and despite the growing interest in clean energy the sector will remain a crucial part of the countries’ energy mix for many years to come. Beyond oil and gas, India is also seeing strong growth in renewables and energy transition, with total CAPEX of nearly US$306bn. China continues to invest in large-scale nuclear with an anticipated CAPEX of US$179bn. In Australia, investment of US$362bn is expected for renewables and energy transition, aligning with its strategy to become a major clean energy exporter. Indonesia has announced plans to reach 87% renewables in its energy mix by 2060. However, progress is being held back by challenges related to finance, policy and infrastructure. This is reflected in the relatively low expected investment in renewables, which stands at US$73bn, 22% of the country’s total CAPEX.

Figure 4 shows the opportunities in the oil and gas sector for projects that are expected to come online from 2025 until 2031. Overall CAPEX of the sector is US$917.2bn and this includes US$232.7bn in upstream, US$189bn in midstream and US$495bn in downstream. In the upstream sector, field development activities have been gaining momentum with an estimated US$189bn in investment expected by 2031. Major projects such as Indonesia’s Abadi and Malaysia’s Siakap NorthPetai Phase II are progressing, with both projects expected to reach FID. The region is also seeing a number of bid rounds being announced in countries such as Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei, Thailand, Pakistan, India, Vietnam and Bangladesh. This signals a likely increase in exploration as operators prepare for new drilling campaigns. In addition, governments in the region are stepping up plans to support future gas demand. In Malaysia, Petronas is leading the development of a third regasification terminal in Peninsular Malaysia, while private proposals are being planned in Kedah and Terengganu. Indonesia is rolling out midstream infrastructure to back PT PLN’s shift from diesel to gas-fired power. Vietnam has fast-tracked LNG-to-power timelines, although many projects are still looking for investors.
Value and number of projects that could reach FID in 2025 & 2026
The future looks relatively buoyant for the sector. Based on figure 5, around 50 projects across the sector could reach FID between now and the end of 2026. These projects would see an estimated US$118bn of investment into the sectors, highlighting that the oil and gas sector remains attractive.

Tuban Refinery and Petrochemical Complex (Pertamina): PT Kilang Pertamina Internasional (KPI) has confirmed that Rosneft is currently working to finalise the FID process, which is targeted for completion by Q4 2025. The EPC tender will commence once the FID has been reached. The tendering process will be conducted by KPI.
Abadi LNG Project: INPEX has opened a tender to look for independent project management consultancy (PMC) services to support the FEED phase. The PMC scope may include supervising the FEED activities, reviewing the FEED results and providing recommendations on technical matters such as technology selection, total cost of ownership and scheduling.
Block SK410B – Lang Lebah Gas Discovery:
The FEED tender is expected to be launched by Q4 2025 with the award of FEED tender anticipated by Q2 2026. The FEED work will cover both the onshore and offshore sections and is expected to take approximately four months to complete. A new round of EPC is also expected to be launched in 2026.
Planned energy transition projects (2025-2031)

As of June 2025, a total of 362 projects in Australia could potentially enter operations by 2031, with 73% coming from energy storage. While India is more focused on hydrogen (56 projects) despite its aggressive strategy on ramping up solar PV installations, energy storage installations are still low. Adoption of newer technology in the region is marginally slower due to slow policy movements from each country and financial constraints were seen in early Q1 2025 with an increasing number of cancellations of flagship clean hydrogen projects in Australia. The FID rate for hydrogen and carbon capture sectors in Asia Pacific remains low, at 1.3% and 14% respectively. Most of the projects that are advancing are mainly small-scale, pilot, or demonstration projects. These sectors are still in the early stages, with efforts focused on proving the technology before scaling up commercially.
