据路透社11月23日吉隆坡报道，马来西亚国家石油公司公司周五表示，在沙巴州东部的Kebabangan气田发生天然气泄漏中断后，预计到2019年8月，产量将恢复到满负荷。
国家能源公司在一份通过电子邮件发给路透社的声明中表示，这个问题是由1月沙巴沙捞越天然气管道泄漏造成的。
该管道的维修工作已经完成，对500公里管道进行的完整性保证测试预计将于2019年7月完成。
“然而，供应中断并未影响我们的LNG（液化天然气）货物交付给客户，” 马来西亚国家石油公司说。
上周，马来西亚财政部长表示，该国的经济增长受到Kebabangan气田供应中断的影响。他说，自第二季度以来，天然气出口受到严重影响。
马来西亚是世界第三大液化天然气出口国，马来西亚国家石油公司是国库的重要贡献者。
7月至9月季度，该国经济增长速度为两年来最慢，部分原因是液化天然气行业出现“供应冲击”。供应中断也打击了上一季度的增长。
路透社8月份报道称，由于1月份国内天然气管道问题造成损失，马来西亚7月液化天然气出口量降至四年来的最低水平。
近期贸易数据显示，马来西亚第三季度液化天然气出口总值为87亿林吉特（21亿美元），比去年同期下降约21％。

Petronas's Kebabangan gas field to return to full capacity by August
Malaysia’s Petronas said The problem was caused by a leak from the Sabah Sarawak Gas Pipeline in January, the state energy firm said in an emailed statement to Reuters.
Repair works “The supply disruption, however, did not impact our LNG (liquefied natural gas) cargo deliveries to customers,” Petronas said.
Last week, Malaysia’s finance minister said the country’s economic growth was impacted by supply disruption at the Kebabangan gas field. Gas exports have been severely impacted since the second quarter, he said.
Malaysia is the world’s third-biggest exporter of LNG, and Petronas is a significant contributor to state coffers.
The country’s economy grew at its slowest in two years in the July-September quarter, in part because of “supply shocks” in the LNG sector. Growth in the prior quarter had also been hit by supply disruptions.
Reuters reported in August that Malaysia’s exports of LNG fell to a four-year low in July as domestic gas pipeline issues since January took their toll.
Recent trade data showed Malaysia’s third-quarter LNG exports totalled 8.7 billion ringgit ($2.1 billion) in value, down about 21 percent from the same period last year.
