MUSCAT, Feb 13 (Bernama) -- PETRONAS is pleased to announce that its whollyowned subsidiary, PC Oman Ventures Ltd (PCOVL) has signed a Concession Agreement with the Government of the Sultanate of Oman and OQ Exploration and Production Batinah Offshore LLC (OQEP) as its partner for the exploration of oil and gas in Block 18.

Block 18 is a large offshore exploration area located in Northeast Oman, spanning more than 21,000 km² and offering significant frontier exploration potential across diverse geological settings, from shallow to ultra-deep water.

PCOVL has been active in the Sultanate of Oman since 2018 and currently holds a participating interest in Block 61. Upon signing this Concession Agreement, PCOVL assumes operatorship of Block 18 in partnership with OQEP. This collaboration builds on the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed between PETRONAS and OQEP in October 2025, marking an important milestone in strengthening the strategic partnership between both companies and reinforcing PETRONAS’ long‑term presence in the Sultanate of Oman.

The partnership supports PETRONAS’ aspiration to enhance its competitive upstream portfolio by aligning its offshore exploration capability with OQEP’s regional expertise, laying the foundation for a mutually beneficial venture.

“Building on our technical strengths and successes, PETRONAS continues to expand its exploration activities into new frontiers. Through our innovative exploration approaches and OQEP’s basin expertise, we aim to jointly unlock the potential of Block 18, contributing to Oman’s long-term energy security. The addition of Block 18 aligns with our commitment to disciplined portfolio expansion, providing strategic optionality across our international portfolio,” said Mohd Redhani Abdul Rahman, Vice President of International Assets, PETRONAS, during the signing ceremony.

In 2025, PETRONAS achieved a series of notable discoveries across key basins, reaffirming its position as one of the leading global explorers. From unlocking new hydrocarbon potential in Malaysia’s Lebah Emas producing well to delivering highimpact discoveries in Suriname Block 52, these successes underscore the strength of PETRONAS’ clustered exploration strategy.

As a global energy and solutions partner, PETRONAS remains committed to pursuing global opportunities while deepening collaboration with strategic partners.

PETRONAS AND SABAH STATE GOVERNMENT HONOUR LOCAL VENDORS, STRENGTHENING OGSE GROWTH

KOTA KINABALU, Feb 13 (Bernama) -- PETRONAS and the Sabah State Government yesterday accorded recognition to Sabah-based oil and gas services and equipment (OGSE) vendors for their achievements in fostering a sustainable and competitive local ecosystem.

To date, a total of 98 Sabah-based OGSE vendors have been recognised for their capabilities and track record in securing contracts. This reflects a steady increase since the signing of the Sabah Commercial Collaboration Agreement (CCA) in 2021, with 47 vendors receiving recognition for the first time in 2025, signalling the growing depth and maturity of local industry capabilities. This progress is further reflected in the growth of contracts secured by Sabah vendors, which rose from 133 in 2021 to 499 in 2025.

Held at the Sabah International Convention Centre, the recognition ceremony was witnessed by Assistant Sabah Finance Minister II Datuk Sr Mohd Ishak Datuk Ayub, representing Deputy Chief Minister II and Sabah Finance Minister Datuk Seri Panglima Masidi Manjun, and presented by PETRONAS Vice President of Group Procurement, Rashidah Alias. Also present was PETRONAS Senior Vice President of Malaysia Petroleum Management, Datuk Ir Bacho Pilong.

In his address, Datuk Ir Bacho highlighted the evolving dynamics of the global energy landscape and the continued importance of the OGSE sector to Malaysia’s economy. He said, “As we navigate rapid change in the global energy landscape, the OGSE sector remains a vital pillar of Malaysia’s economy. With the support and ongoing collaboration, with the Sabah State, we can build a resilient OGSE supply chain, and position Sabah as the preferred investment destination.”

Among the recognised vendors are those awarded medium-to-complex scope contracts, including Gas Turbine Maintenance, Production Support Vessel (PSV) services for deepwater drilling, Wellhead Maintenance, Terminal Turnaround, Maintenance and Modification (TTAMM) and Marine Operations. The vendors have also strengthened industry collaboration through Joint Venture (JV) contracts for Offshore Maintenance, Construction, and Modification (MCM) and Hook-Up (HUC) scopes, reflecting continued progress in technical capability and service expansion within Sabah’s oil and gas sector.

Meanwhile, two Sabah-based companies were introduced under the Vendor Development Programme (VDP): Seascape Synergy Services Sdn Bhd for Life Raft and Lifeboat Maintenance, and GMB Dynamic Sdn Bhd for Fire Truck Maintenance Services. These new entrants reflect the strengthening capabilities of Sabah’s OGSE sector, as more local companies meet higher standards of safety, quality, and operational excellence.

PETRONAS and the Sabah State Government extend their appreciation to all partners, associations and vendors whose continued commitment contributes to the strengthening of Sabah’s OGSE ecosystem. Both parties remain committed to fostering a sustainable, inclusive and competitive industry for the future.

Bitget Introduces Gracy AI, a New Way to Talk Markets, Leadership, and Long-Term Thinking

VICTORIA, Seychelles, Feb 13 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bitget, the world’s largest Universal Exchange (UEX), has launched Gracy AI, the first animated digital human in crypto designed to bring real leadership thinking into one-on-one conversations with users.
Built around the experience and decision-making approach of Bitget CEO Gracy Chen, Gracy AI moves beyond charts and short-term signals. Instead, it gives users a space to talk through market cycles, strategy, career questions, and mindset with an AI that reflects how a real industry leader thinks about growth, risk, and long-term direction.

The launch marks a shift in how exchanges use AI. Rather than acting as another data layer, Gracy AI focuses on interpretation and context. Users can ask about where the industry is heading, how to think through uncertainty, or how to approach decision-making when markets are noisy. The goal is not to predict prices, but to help users think more clearly about them.

“Honestly, I still find it a little funny to see an AI avatar of me on screen,” said Gracy Chen, CEO at Bitget. “But a big part of my job is listening to user concerns, getting close to the details, and helping people understand what’s really happening in the market. The team built Gracy AI around that same approach so more users can connect, learn and grow feeling supported by me and the team,” she added.

Gracy AI is part of Bitget’s broader AI roadmap as part of its UEX transformation. After GetAgent established Bitget’s AI capability in analytics and decision support, Gracy AI represents the more human-facing side of that strategy, where technology supports understanding rather than just execution.

To mark the launch, Bitget is rolling out themed Gracy AI conversations tied to moments of reflection and renewal. Valentine’s Day introduces self-care-focused chats, while Chinese New Year features guided conversations around goals, perspective, and new beginnings. These campaigns are designed to make AI interaction feel personal, timely, and useful, rather than transactional.

The Gracy AI launch builds on Bitget’s broader push to make AI genuinely useful for everyday traders. From AI-powered market insights and smart trading tools to products like GetAgent, which helps users navigate volatility with clearer signals and context, Bitget has steadily integrated AI to reduce friction and improve decision-making. Gracy AI extends that approach by putting experience, perspective, and real-time intelligence into a more accessible, conversational layer for users. As Bitget continues to evolve into a Universal Exchange, Gracy AI reflects a simple idea: better tools matter, but better thinking matters more.

Experience Gracy AI here.

PETRONAS Launches Malaysia Bid Round 2026, Strengthening Malaysia as Energy Investment Hub

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 11 (Bernama) -- PETRONAS, through Malaysia Petroleum Management (MPM), yesterday launched the Malaysia Bid Round 2026 (MBR 2026), with the theme “Advantaged Energy: Accelerating and Shaping Tomorrow”, aiming at strengthening Malaysia’s position as a premium investment destination.

This year’s MBR introduces nine (9) exploration blocks across Malaysia. The portfolio presents a balanced mix of opportunities, featuring high-impact exploration block in the frontier Sandakan Basin, high-potential exploration blocks in the emerging West Sarawak Basin and near-field exploration blocks with new play ideas in the mature Malay Basin.

The bid round also includes six (6) Discovered Resource Opportunities (DRO) offering “ready-to-develop” pathways for monetisation. Investors and solutions providers are presented with opportunities to leverage on the extensive technical information, enabling resource development platform and phased-development options which provide ability for early monetisation and near-term value creation.

Senior Vice President of MPM, Datuk Ir. Bacho Pilong, said, “Malaysia’s energy demand will continue to grow and upstream industry will need to fulfil this demand to power our fast-growing digital economy and manufacturing backbone. The economic spin-off benefits also extend to downstream industries while providing feedstock to many others. To fuel Malaysia’s upstream engine with a steady flow of opportunities, we require upstream investment in the tune of RM 50-60 billion each year.”

The MBR 2026 launch also demonstrated strong industry momentum and ecosystem activation, with strategic partnerships and development milestones announced in parallel with the bid round offering. Strengthening the investment landscape, PETRONAS signed a series of Memorandum of Understanding (MoUs), underscoring industry confidence and reinforcing Malaysia as high-growth energy hub. Notably, MoUs with Global FCNG, Inc, ZDA Corporation Sdn. Bhd. and MTC Engineering Sdn. Bhd. broaden the scope of partnership opportunities and enhance Malaysia’s technology‑driven solutions ecosystem.

Advancing its energy transition and CCUS ambitions, PETRONAS is also expanding collaboration beyond traditional PSC boundaries through the Borderless initiative through Memorandum of Agreement with PETRONAS Carigali Sdn. Bhd. and Hibiscus Oil & Gas Malaysia Limited. Leveraging the CBijak Malaysia Landscape framework, the initiative integrates workplans across the PSCs, offshore Malaysia, further optimising resource development and enhancing commercially viable CO2 management solutions.

Together, these developments reinforce Malaysia’s position as a premium upstream destination where regulatory clarity, resource potential, and ecosystem collaboration converge to create sustained value in delivering both energy security and transition readiness.

The MBR 2026 virtual data room is now officially open. For more details, visit http://www.malaysiabidround.com to explore the full suite of offerings.

CLOUDERA POSTS STRONG FY26 RESULTS, ENTERS FY27 WITH AI PLATFORM MOMENTUM

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 11 (Bernama) -- Cloudera, the data and artificial intelligence (AI) platform company, has reported strong results for fiscal year 2026 (FY26) driven by solid growth, customer wins, expanded partnerships, and continued innovation.

The company closed FY26 with a strong fourth quarter, recording more than 50 per cent year-over-year growth in new and expansion business, robust annual recurring revenue growth, and over 100 per cent new logo growth in the fourth quarter across all regions.

Beginning fiscal year 2027 (FY27) with its annual Sales Kick-Off event, ELEVATE27, Cloudera said the results reflect rising enterprise demand for flexible and secure data and AI platforms that operate seamlessly across clouds, data centres and edge environments.

“This was a defining year for Cloudera. We delivered strong performance, expanded our ecosystem, and continued to innovate across our platform, all while staying true to our mission of bringing AI to data anywhere.

“As enterprises increasingly demand secure, flexible AI across all their environments, Cloudera is uniquely positioned to help them turn their data into trusted insights at scale. We are entering FY27 with strong momentum and an even stronger roadmap,” said Cloudera Chief Executive Officer, Charles Sansbury in a statement.

Cloudera said its momentum is underpinned by its ability to enable organisations to bring AI to data wherever it resides, helping enterprises unlock insights, strengthen security, improve efficiency and support mission-critical outcomes.

As its third acquisition in two years, the company’s acquisition of Taikun has strengthened its capabilities in managing Kubernetes and cloud infrastructure across hybrid and multi-cloud environments. The company also highlighted continued product innovation, including platform updates, enhancements to its open data lakehouse offering and new product releases.

In addition, Cloudera achieved several certifications for highly regulated industries and expanded its global partner ecosystem to help customers accelerate enterprise AI adoption, including collaborations with ServiceNow, Intel Corporation, Chainguard, Amazon Web Services and Dell Technologies.

The company’s performance and innovation were recognised with 45 global awards, alongside analyst recognition from The Forrester Wave. It also expanded its global footprint by opening new offices in San Jose and Saudi Arabia and hiring more than 570 employees across 30 countries.

Looking ahead, Cloudera will continue to invest in innovation across its data and AI portfolio. The company has already announced updates to its AI inferencing capabilities this year, extending them to on-premises data centres to support higher security requirements.
