Petronas Confirms Fire
at Main PGB Pipeline

In a statement posted on its website on Tuesday, Petronas confirmed that a fire had occurred at the main Petronas Gas Berhad (PGB) pipeline near Putra Heights, Subang Jaya, Selangor, on April 1.

“The affected pipeline has been isolated, and all relevant stakeholders have been informed,” Petronas said in its statement.

“Petronas is working closely with all relevant parties to ensure the safety of the surrounding community, environment, and security of gas supply to the nation, which remain our utmost priority,” it added.

In the statement, Petronas noted that its surrounding three retail stations - PS Putra Heights, PS KM2 LDP, and PS Putra Bestari - were not affected but added that they had been temporarily closed as a precautionary measure.

In another statement posted on its site later that same day, Petronas said its public listed subsidiary Petronas Gas Berhad will be working closely with government authorities and agencies to assess the full impact of the incident.

Back in January, Petronas announced in a statement posted on its site that its operations in Miri and Bintulu remained uninterrupted “following the severe flooding in both areas on 29 January 2025”.
