Uzma Strengthens Ties with Pertamina Through Strategic Marketing Agreement

KUALA LUMPUR (6 MARCH 2024) – Uzma Berhad (“Uzma”), a leading Malaysian energy and technology solutions provider, is pleased to announce the signing of a Marketing Partnership Agreement between its wholly-owned subsidiary, Uzma Engineering Sdn. Bhd., and PT Pertamina Drilling Services Indonesia, a subsidiary of PT Pertamina Hulu Energy as a Subholding Upstream of Pertamina, Indonesia’s state-owned oil and natural gas corporation.

This Marketing Partnership Agreement (“Agreement”) follows the Memorandum of Understanding (“MoU”) signed between both parties on 12 January 2024. The MoU establishes a collaborative framework to provide oil & gas and geothermal drilling services, along with other supporting services. This strategic partnership underscores both companies’ commitment to leveraging their respective strengths to enhance service offerings and expand market presence. The Agreement was signed on 28th February at Uzma’s headquarters.
Under the Agreement, Pertamina Drilling appoints Uzma Engineering to promote its oil and gas drilling services and associated drilling services within the territory of Malaysia. Uzma Engineering will render technical know-how in the tendering process and promote Pertamina Drilling oil and gas-associated drilling products, further strengthening the cooperation between the two entities.

Dato’ Kamarul Redzuan Muhamed, Group CEO of Uzma, stated, “By partnering with PT Pertamina Drilling Services Indonesia, we aim to strengthen our position as a leading provider of energy solutions in Malaysia and contribute to the advancement of the industry.” He further added, “As we embark on this journey with Pertamina Drilling, we are confident that our combined expertise will unlock new opportunities and propel us towards greater success in the oil and gas market.”

Through this opportunity, Avep Disasmita, CEO of Pertamina Drilling, emphasized the importance of safety in field operations later. “Pertamina Drilling’s safety culture has been at a proactive level, which means we are very committed to safety in the field, and it is very important for us that safety is above the profit obtained,” said Avep. Maintaining safety aspects in the field is also a form of trust between each company.

This cooperation is an opportunity for Pertamina Drilling to expand the market to the international arena, especially marketing HDI as a product that integrates all services and technology, including rig services, non-rig services, and other supporting services. “Hopefully, through the signing of the collaboration agreement and the capabilities we have, we will continue to penetrate the onshore business in Malaysia,” hoped Avep.

This partnership aligns with Uzma’s commitment to fostering strategic collaborations and expanding its footprint in the energy sector. Through partnerships like these, Uzma continues to drive innovation and excellence in delivering comprehensive energy solutions to its clients.
