Executive summary

This study assessed the progress of methane-reduction initiatives in Malaysia’s oil and gas (O&G) sector and the resulting workforce implications. The key findings indicate that meaningful reductions to O&G methane emissions have been achieved by focusing on upskilling, reskilling and job-scope expansion. However, opportunities exist to diversify methane-abatement approaches and achieve Malaysia’s net-zero ambitions as well as Global Methane Pledge commitments while evolving the workforce to meet the needs of the energy transition.
