Shell and Murphy are among the other oil and gas multinationals that operate in the Kidurong Industrial Estate.
The oil and gas industry in the Kidurong Industrial Area since the 1980s has brought along an expatriate community, who also live in Kidurong, notably around Tamam Matahari and MLNG Housing.
This has also led to a higher price of homes in Kidurong, compared to the other suburbs in Bintulu town.
[citation needed] There is also a fairly large squatter community around the Sg.
Most of the squatters came from rural areas in search of a better life in Bintulu.
