Taken from the pages of the Star, dateline 2009-10-11:
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia has taken over the presidency of the International Gas Union (IGU) with Datuk Dr Abdul Rahim Hashim of PETRONAS filling the top post until 2012.
Dr Abdul Rahim, who is PETRONAS’ research technology vice-president, is also Malaysian Gas Association (MGA) president.
For those of you not in the know, Datuk Dr. Abdul Rahim was VP, Gas Business Unit, PETRONAS.
What does the IGU do, you wonder? From the IGU’s web pages, it’s objective is to “promote the technical and economic progress of the gas industry.”

As I go on my marketing rounds, I went and visited Dato’ R. We went quaffing and dungeon crawling … nope wrong blog. I gotta stop playing Nethack.
Anyhow, he shared with me that he and his team has installed electrical submersible pumps (ESPs) in a Malaysian operations environment. The units are installed using CTUs as opposed to drilling rigs (to the workover engineers among you, can you explain why this is important?). The ESPs are Western Submersible Pumps.
Gaslift now has competion. Some of the ESP advantages I can think of are:
- less compression capacity is required, as the volume of recirculated gas is reduced.
- Improved controllability: flowrate only depends on pump perfomance curves, rather than say, compressor availability.
- Mature Tech: someone count how many ESPs are in Acheh.
Though I think that use of ESPs indicate that Malaysian fields are acknowledged to be on the decline.

First of all, let me say Selamat Hari Raya Eidul Adha Fitri, maaf zahir dan batin, and happy holidays (you can tell I’m a 1Malaysia Malaysian, right?).
- Synergy is looking for safety engineers. Visit the Synergy websites (Jakarta and KL) for contact details.
- Murphy is looking for people with the right fit. I hope they don’t mean they are looking for ‘V’ type body shapes, that’s blatant discrimination against us unfit types (I’m more of an ‘A’ shape). Let’s see, they are looking for snr reservoir eng, metering tech, petroleum engineer. Apply here.
- And if nothing grabs your fancy, KFC is conducting a set of walk-in interviews for Assistant Restaurant Manager Trainee. Hey, they have a clear promotion structure, hourly rates and great food.
