Ranhill Berhad (MYX: 5030) is one of Malaysia's largest companies. Having started out in 1973 as engineering consultants, it expanded first into engineering, procurement and project management, then into turnkey construction, facility management, development and ownership of projects. Now, Ranhill is a premier engineering corporation, focusing on the industrial sectors essential to nation-building such as oil and gas, power, water and infrastructure. When Ranhill's financial year ended on 30 June 2006, more than 60% of it's RM9.3 billion order book came from overseas, including a housing contract worth RM7.4 billion in Libya and hydropower plant in Pakistan.

A more significant project for Ranhill is its plans to drill for oil in West Java, Indonesia. Ranhill, via its 60% investment in a joint-venture company with PT Bumi Parahyangan Ranhill Energia Citarum, secured the oil block in October 2006. Ranhill's current oil and gas investments include a gas production field about 15km north of Citarum (Jatirarangon TAC), an exploration block in South Sumatra (Jambi Batu Gajah PSC) and two exploration blocks in the Philippines (SC49 and SC64).
