Furthermore, gas output from the Terminal will be channelled to the nearby gas-fired power plant to generate electricity for the state.

Once fully completed, the Terminal will have a capacity of 260 kpbd (kilo barrels per day) of oil and 1,250 mmscfd (million standard cubic feet per day) of natural gas.
According to the Head of PETRONAS Carigali’s Sabah Operations, Joseph Podtung, the SOGT project is progressing well and is 90 percent completed. The administration complex is 53 percent completed and is targeted to be ready by the first quarter of 2013.
Podtung explained that the project will not only enable the development of offshore fields, but also provide opportunities for Sabah-based contractors to take part in the project and provide employment in Sabah.
