Kerteh, Terengganu

Petroleum Industry Complex, Kerteh (31 December 2006)


Kerteh (GPS: 4.50729, 103.44039) is a small town in Kemaman District, Terengganu. It is the base for oil production in the state. From Kerteh, the oil platforms off the coast are managed, along with the petrochemical industries and crude oil refining facilities in Paka. Kerteh Airport is built to support this industry, handling mostly helicopters and charter planes for the staff of Petronas, the national petroleum company.

There is nothing much for visitors to Kerteh, except perhaps the sight of the petroleum facilies. There is however a turtle sanctuary along the coast at Ma Daerah.
