Malaysia's Hibiscus keen on acquisitions as Big Oil divests in Asia
KUALA LUMPUR -- Hibiscus Petroleum, a Malaysian oil and gas exploration company listed on the local exchange, is looking to acquire multinational energy companies' assets in the Asia-Pacific region as they divest amid pressures for decarbonization.
In an interview with Nikkei Asia, Kenneth Pereira, the company's founder and managing director, said that it aims to be a "regional consolidator" of established oil and gas assets so that it becomes "quite prominent" as an independent oil company.
