"As demand recovery is still fragile, based on supply challenges, this means volatility," he said during a news conference.
Petronas also said the company will continue to exercise prudent financial management and firm discipline in reinvesting.
Capital expenditure for 2023-2027 will be increased to about 300 billion ringgit from 208.5 billion ringgit in 2018-2022, it said.
They foresee raising capital expenditures through partnerships, mainly energy investors, rather than through capital markets, Tengku Taufik said.
Meanwhile, up to 20 percent of its annual capital expenditure, or up to 12-15 billion ringgit per year, will be committed to de-carbonization and energy transition.
