The company benefited from a rally in crude oil prices that’s lifted incomes of global energy giants including Exxon Mobil Corp. and Chevron Corp. Brent prices were on average 66% higher in the first half of 2022 from a year earlier period, Petronas said, amid supply disruptions caused by the Russia-Ukraine war and rising demand.
Petronas will pay another 25 billion ringgit in dividend to the government, bringing the total payout for 2022 to 50 billion ringgit, President and Group Chief Executive Officer Muhammad Taufik said at a briefing.
