YCP in Numbers
Key Challenges We Address
Keeping Mature Offshore Assets Productive and Profitable
- Malaysia produced around half a million barrels per day of crude oil and condensates in 2023. Mature offshore assets need more intervention to protect recovery and margins.
- Against this backdrop, YCP combines asset diagnostics, operating-model redesign and value-leakage analysis to prioritize recovery, reliability and late-life investment.
Navigating Shifting Gas Demand, Prices and LNG Dynamics
- Natural gas represented about 43% of Malaysia’s primary energy supply in 2023. Changes in domestic pricing, demand and LNG dynamics complicate volume and margin planning.
- With gas exposure under review, YCP aligns market scenarios, customer segmentation and commercial strategy, helping teams balance affordability, supply security and returns.
Making Carbon Performance a Source of Market Strength
- Malaysia aims for net-zero emissions as early as 2050, while a carbon tax is planned from 2026 for selected energy-intensive industries, increasing emissions scrutiny.
- To turn this pressure into action, YCP builds emissions baselines, abatement roadmaps and CCUS business cases, linking compliance needs with investable growth.
Building Reliable Capabilities Across the OGSE Ecosystem
- Malaysia’s OGSE ecosystem includes more than 1,000 companies, but cyclical project demand and competition for specialist offshore talent can weaken delivery readiness.
- By connecting workforce strategy with capability building and partner models, YCP helps companies secure critical skills and improve execution across project cycles.
