What Ping Petroleum does

Ping Petroleum Plc is an independent upstream oil and gas company incorporated in Bermuda in 2012, with operating offices in Kuala Lumpur and Aberdeen. The company is 90% owned by Malaysia-listed conglomerate Dagang NeXchange Berhad (DNeX) since June 2021. Ping Petroleum focuses on shallow water offshore production and development opportunities in the UK North Sea and Malaysia, sitting alongside a newly formed energy commodities trading arm, Ping Energy Marketing Limited (PEML), established in 2024.

The company's core asset base centers on the Anasuria Cluster in the UK Central North Sea (Teal, Teal South, Guillemot A, and Cook fields), which produces approximately 6,200 BOPD gross and averages around 2,092 bopd on Ping's reported basis between March 2023 and March 2024 at 90% efficiency and $25/boe unit cost. The development pipeline is anchored by the Avalon Oil Development in UK Block 21/6b (100% owned after acquiring Sumitomo's residual 50% for USD 17 million in 2021), which is being prepared around the renamed Excalibur FPSO acquired from Teekay in 2022. Ping also operates Polymer flooding at the Pilot field and holds the Cook West exploration/appraisal license (P.2532 from the 32nd UK Offshore Licensing Round) alongside a 42.5% farm-in to the Fyne field (Sept 2023), which is being tied back to the existing Anasuria FPSO.

Revenue is generated primarily from the sale of crude oil and gas through commodity markets and offtake agreements with refineries and energy traders, governed onshore in Malaysia by three Production Sharing Contracts with PETRONAS (Meranti Cluster at 60% PI, A Cluster at 70% PI, and a 2024 SFA Cluster PSC). The company raised USD 50 million via a senior secured bond on Oslo Børs in December 2021 to fund Anasuria capital programs. Beyond production, PEML extends the business into trading of petroleum products (Diesel, Fuel Oil, Gasoline, LPG, Petroleum Coke) and petrochemicals (Urea, Methanol, Ammonia, polyethylene grades, MTBE) to industrial, commercial, and agricultural customers globally.
