Puncak Niaga plans US$59m investment in O&G

KUALA LUMPUR: PUNCAK NIAGA HOLDINGS BHD [] plans to invest US$59 million (RM180 million) to acquire two companies as it moves into the oil and gas (O&G) sector.

It said on Monday, June 27, the acquisition of the two companies was part of its strategy to focus on the O&G sector.

The acquisition would also fit in with its plan to transform itself from being a water concessionaire into an emerging, and increasingly significant, O&G player.

The Edge FinancialDaily had reported on June 8 that Puncak was in talks with Paris-based Bourbon SA, a large company which provides offshore O&G marine services, for the former to be Bourbon's agent for Southeast Asia.
