Petronas’ business involvement in Sudan began
in 1995 following an invitation by the Government
of Sudan to pursue exploration and development
works in its Melut and Muglad Basins. Since then,
Petronas’ presence in the country has expanded in
both the upstream and downstream sectors of the
country’s oil and gas industry.
Along with this expansion, Petronas has contributed to
the nation’s community development through various
community projects implemented by the operating
consortium, the Greater Nile Petroleum Company.
Focusing on people and capability building, their
projects include providing clean water supply, mobile
health clinics as well as programmes and facilities to
meet the community’s health-care, educational and
training needs. For example, under the Education
Sponsorship Programme, they have awarded merit-
based full scholarships to Sudanese students to study
at the Universiti Teknologi Petronas (UTP). Presently,
Sudanese students make up the largest intake of
foreign students at the university.
