was a chain of petrol stations in Malaysia that was touted as the country's
first "Superstation", offering refueling services that accepted both credit
card and cash payments, along with additional facilities. The chain, formed
in 1999, was eventually absorbed into the country's chain of Shell stations in
2007.[1]
** History
In 1999, Dialog Group Bhd signed a Memorandum of Understanding with ProJET
Malaysia Sdn Bhd as an Authorised Branded Marketer to build, own and operate
up to 150 ProJET "superstations", petrol retails and convenience stores.[2] In
2005, ProJET rented out its convenience stores to Convenience Shopping Sdn Bhd
to operate the 24-hour 7-Eleven stores, to improve its offerings to customers.
At the time of the stations' grand opening, ProJET had only acquired more than
five years of experience in the petroleum business since its introduction by
ConocoPhillips, in conjunction with Sime Darby Bhd. ProJET was the first
foreign company in 30 years to be awarded a license to operate petrol stations
in Malaysia.[3]
Despite a relatively smooth launch, ProJET was unable to penetrate the
petroleum retail market in the country during the following years. In 2003,
ProJET was reported to control about 1% of the local petroleum market.
In August 2007, Royal Dutch Shell PLC[4] received Malaysia's approval to
acquire 100% of ConocoPhillips's wholly owned subsidiary Conoco Jet (Malaysia)
Sdn Bhd, which at the time operated the ProJET retail marketing assets in
Malaysia. As a result, all ProJET stations were remodelled into Shell
stations in late-2007. The ProJET name remains in use independently.
** Stations
ProJET was reported to have owned up to 40 stations, primarily in various
portions of the Klang Valley, encompassing Selangor and Kuala Lumpur, and
outlying states. [colwidth=20em]
