(Corrects headline and paragraph 1 to say resumption in operations refers to gas pipeline, not terminal) SINGAPORE, April 12 (Reuters) - Malaysia's national oil company Petroliam Nasional Berhad aims to restart the gas pipeline currently under force majeure by the first quarter of 2024, a senior company executive said on Wednesday. "Our plan is to complete the work by Q1 2024," said Shamsairi Ibrahim, vice president of LNG marketing and trading at the company, known as Petronas. The facility's restart is subject to approval from local authorities, he said. In October, Petronas declared a force majeure on gas supply to Malaysia LNG Dua due to a pipeline leak caused by soil movement at its Sabah-Sarawak Gas Pipeline.


The company aims to complete an investigation into the gas supply disruption by mid-2023.
