It gave no other details of the projects. A Petronas spokesman declined to comment. Petronas had signed in May a production-sharing contract covering the Urga, Kuanish and Akhchalak fields in the northern region of Ustyurt which Uzbekistan had earlier offered to Russia's Gazprom.
It also sealed a heads of agreement pact for a gas-to-liquid project in northern Uzbekistan.
