DUBAI (Reuters) - President Hassan Rouhani ordered his defence minister on Thursday to expand Iran's missile programme, in response to a U.S. threat to impose sanctions over a ballistic missile test Iran carried out in October.

UALA LUMPUR (Mar 25): State-owned Petroliam Nadional Bhd (Petronas) is going to continue pursuing its enhanced oil recovery (EOR) projects, as it becomes more indispensable in this low oil price environment.
The group's head of technology Dr Nasir Darman said at a media conference today that Petronas's investment in upstream technology is constantly updated in order to better the execution in the EOR sector.
"To put things into perspective, the need for technology now is even greater when we face a downturn. When crude oil was at US$100 a barrel, the need might not be as stringent as at the time when oil is traded at US$40," he said at one of the media discussions at the Offshore Technology Conference Asia (OTCA 2016).
"Our technology is still focused on what we have pursued since 2002, when we set EOR as an agenda."
EOR is essentially the implementation of various techniques to maximise the extraction of oil from an oil field.
This should bring a sigh of relief to many oil-related service providers, who have been vying for contracts in the area. Recently, Barakah Offshore Petroleum Bhd won a contract to install two gas pipelines under the Petronas Carigali-operated Baram Delta Gas Gathering Project 2 (Bardegg 2) and Baronia enhanced oil recovery project offshore Miri, Sarawak.
Barakah Offshore Petroleum Berhad ("Barakah" or the “Company") is pleased to announce that its wholly-owned subsidiary company, PBJV Group Sdn Bhd (“PBJV”) has received the Letter of Award from Murphy Sarawak Oil Co Ltd, Murphy Sabah Oil Co Ltd and Murphy Peninsular Malaysia Oil Co Ltd (collectively referred to as “Murphy”), for an umbrella contract for the provision of welding services for drilling and subsea program (“Contract”).
SINGAPORE (July 7): Ernst & Young’s recent survey “Capitalizing on opportunities: Private equity investment in oil and gas” found that 43% of the 100 private equity (PE) firms surveyed were planning acquisitions in the oil & gas sector for the first half year period of 2017.
That is up from the 25% figure before the end of 2016.
EY noted that favourable asset valuations and oil price consensus were among the main reasons for the planned acquisitions.
Furthermore, all of the respondents expected the Asia-Pacific region to see higher buyout activity in 2017, given lower costs, ease of doing business, and general macroeconomic growth which was drawing investors to the region.
44% of respondents were also in favour of the upstream or the midstream sectors for the best return on investment.
DBS analyst Ho Pei Hwa observed that the increased PE activity would make the upstream O&G segment more attractive to investors “if one believes that oil prices will recover further”.
“However, we would like to see more non-PE driven M&A activity, especially in the services segment, as that would more likely help spark a rationalisation of assets and capacity,” she writes in a note on Monday.
