From UPI – Malaysia poised as next oil and gas hub?


I guess I should start hitting the books. Does anyone recommend a good text on deep water engineering? Or know a deep water engineer we can hire at cut-throat rates?

Malaysia could become the world’s fourth deep-water oil and gas hub after Houston, Rio de Janeiro and Europe, an industry executive said.

“In terms of subsea industry, Malaysia is already a hub by itself,” Bernard Di Tullio, president and chief executive officer of Technip Group, an offshore and engineer contractor with a presence in 48 countries, told reporters Tuesday on the sidelines of the 15th Asia Oil and Gas Conference in Kuala Lumpur.

Demand for deep-water access in Asia Pacific has been strong in the past two or three years, Di Tullio said, and Malaysia has been responding quickly in developing the sector.
