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.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
