“To update the readers on how the COVID-19 pandemic hits the ASEAN energy sector, ASEAN Centre for Energy (ACE) releases several energy insights every quarter. The articles highlight the affected components and the recovery road from our archived news. In this insight, we feature the impact of COVID-19 in the ASEAN Oil and Gas sector during the year 2020.

They remained resilient to survive and sustain their businesses. Both government and industry played key roles in addressing the challenges by providing adequate policy measures.
