I leave it to you to decide how KLCC decided to install a light post in front of a traffic light.

- Ah, here’s one for all those graduates out there. Ensco Gerudi is looking for a trainee. Send an email here or snail mail to Ensco Gerudi (M) Snd Bhd, 5th Floor, Bangunan Angkasa Raya, Jalan Ampang, 50450 KL (attn: Ravi Amsadi, Administration Manager).

- Talisman in looking for a Piping / Mech Engineer. Apply here, and visit their site.
Wow, looks like the O&G industry is picking up, though most of these job are for the senior engineer.
Sigh, since I have moved with Synergy out of KL, will you patronise Chee Meng in my memory? Or invite me to meetings around Bukit Bintang at lunchtime? Is he doing packet specials?

IEM Shout Out – Flow Assurance
May 21, 2009Disclaimer: the speaker is from Synergy.
Back to business. This is a shout out for the IEM. My Technical Division will be having a talk on the 22nd May. It’ll be at 5:30 pm (makan-makan at 5:00) at Wisma IEM. That’s right people, as part of the new health drive you are required to walk up 3 flights of stairs to get your 2 CPD points.
Oil and gas operations require assurance that a given product moves from one point to another. This assurance may require knowing for example, the backpressure caused by a transportation pipeline onto well production facilities, the amount of liquid and gases caused by the interplay of two phase flow in a pipe, the buildup of wax deposits that can constrict flow.
Abnormal situations are looked at as well, for example restarting a pipeline that has been stopped, blowing down a pipeline from high alarm limits, and pigging a line at various speeds. Flow assurance is the art of manipulating tools and providing an interpretation as to whether the given process and physical conditions may be cause and concern. An experienced flow specialist is able to analyze the system, and provide solutions to minimize the effects of unwanted flow artifacts. These solutions can be provided on a design as well as operational level.
Ir. Kevin Shanta has 14 years of experience in process design, simulation modeling (both steady state and dynamic) and plant operations. Upon graduating in 1994 he worked in the oleochemical industry managing the production of fatty acids He then moved to the oil and gas industry where he was involved in dynamic simulation of offshore topsides. He proceeded to broaden his skills by working the several design companies in Malaysia before moving to Perth to perform flow assurance for a subsea development.
Currently, he is the Technical Director for Synergy Oil and Gas Engineering, part of a multinational engineering company overseeing the Malaysia engineering operations.

Wind Turbines on Perhentian Island – Update
May 10, 2009Remember those wind turbines I mentioned last year? Unfortunately, they have stopped working. Someone please tell me that this was a commercial venture, and didn’t use my marine park entrance fee.
