Saturday Star 2017-07-01 – Job Opportunities

July 3, 2017

Eid Mubarak. IGL has pivoted into training, so book your seats now.

We’re thinking of republishing Young Turks of PETRONAS, but it’s a minimum 500 book printing run. Do I have enough interested persons to purchase?

Donate to your favorite charity (me), buy my recommendations, or through my Amazon store. Or get the Young Turks series (3 books until I can get YTP republished). Where are those corporate sponsors? Or throw donations at me, my camera dive case flooded, and I need a new replacement. Heck, if you want to send me a Canon 5D Mk III plus dive case, I will not say no.

  • I have a feeling that The Star isn’t the preferred O&G job recruitment portal now. I see more adverts via social media. What do you think, is it a step change that the papers need to embrace?
  • I’m looking for jobs for 4Q2017. Send me your POs.

Food choice of the week? Iftar, of course.

Book choice of this week, Chemical Engineering Process Simulation, authors are Nishanth Chemmangattuvalappil Denny Ng Kok Sum Rafil Elyas Cheng-Liang ChenI,Lung Chien Hao-Yeh Lee. I intend to get a signed first edition, and place it in my Charles Dickens first edition cabinet.

NAGA 2 set for Ophir field off Malaysia

July 2, 2017

Dateline 2017-05-25, AOG:

Octanex says the NAGA 2 self-elevating mobile offshore drilling unit is ready for mobilization to the Ophir oil field offshore Malaysia.

The jackup started demobilizing from its previous drilling location and will shortly start its tow to the Ophir field where it is expected to arrive on 27 May 2017 for a three-well drilling campaign.

The three planned horizontal production wells target stacked oil reservoirs in a four-way dip closed structure previously discovered and tested by the discovery well, Ophir-1 and four additional appraisal wells, defined with 3D seismic data acquired in 2011, and supported by productive wells located in adjacent fields.

The Ophir oil field, off Peninsular Malaysia at some 70m water depth, is being developed via three production wells, a well head platform (WHP) and floating production storage and offload (FPSO) vessel.

The field is being developed under a risk service contract (RSC) granted in 2014 to OPSB, a joint venture company in which Octanex has a 50% interest.

Cloudy view for energy giant Petronas

July 1, 2017

Dateline 2017-05-25, Asia Times:

Oil and gas wealth drove Malaysia’s go-go modernization during the 1980s and 1990s, with state oil firm Petronas emerging as one of Asia’s most profitable companies. That success was reflected its shiny iconic twin towers, once the world’s tallest, in downtown Kuala Lumpur.

But after more than two years of stubbornly low global oil prices, with prices falling from a per barrel high of US$145 in 2008 to a low of US$26 in 2016, Petronas is struggling to maintain its prominence as one of the world’s largest exporters of liquefied natural gas (LNG).
