Malaysian state oil firm Petroliam National Bhd (Petronas) has inked a more than 80 billion Malaysian ringgit ($26.4 billion) deal extending the supply of gas to Gas Malaysia Bhd for another 10 years.
The new supply agreement, which has the option to extend for another five years, is one of the requirements for Gas Malaysia to list on the local bourse this year, a source close to the deal told Reuters on Thursday.
“The value of the 10-year contract is worth more than 80 billion ringgit,” the source said, declining to be named due to the sensitivity of the contract value.

If you need my help to submit your CVs, donate to the blog, and I’ll review your CV to see if it is worthy of my (and my associates’) expectations. If you can’t figure out how to donate, no need to ask.
May I suggest that readers install the Waze app on their phones? And use it as much as possible? It says its a “a social mobile application providing free turn-by-turn navigation based on the live conditions of the road. 100% powered by users, the more you drive, the better it gets. Join the community of drivers in your area today!” It’s definitely getting better for the Klang Valley area, though we need more users from East Malaysia.

BTW, did I tell you that I am the Secretary of MOGEC?

This is a shout out for the IEM. My Technical Division will be hosting a talk on the 9th March, 2012. It’ll start at 9:00am and is worth 2 CPD hours. There’s an elevator now, so you have no excuse.
Climate change is now ranked as one of humanity’s greatest challenges. With rising public concerns and mounting pressures from NGOs as well as international treaties and governmental legislations, the move towards sustainability is now eminent. These recent developments have a causal effect onto how we conduct our lives. In product design, sustainability affects how the design of a product has to change from conceptualisation to manufacturing, distribution and retirement. In other words, there is now an urgency to re-think the way we do things. In this talk, using systems thinking and systems theory to embed sustainability into product design is considered and its effects upon environmental improvements are discussed. First principles of a system will be re-visited and deconstructed to investigate how sustainability can be incorporated into product design.
Dr. Yap Eng Hwa is an Assistant Professor with the University of Nottingham Malaysia Campus. Currently he is the Course Director for MSc Mechanical Engineering. Dr. Yap’s research work at the University is focused largely on renewable energy and sustainability, carbon capture and storage (CCS) deployment and policy, sustainable transport as well as project management. He joined the Department of Mechanical, Materials and Manufacturing Engineering in 2008 after completing his PhD at University College London. Dr. Yap’s previous work in marine and offshore engineering involved looking into the generation of clean energy using stranded offshore natural gas with a ‘floating power station’.

Someone asked me about definitions, IOR, EOR, secondary oil recovery, tertiary etc. I say, look at Schlumberger Oilfield Glossary.
Dateline 2012-01-19:
Malaysia plans to launch the world’s biggest offshore enhanced oil recovery (EOR) project that will have a positive impact on the country’s oil reserves, Prime Minister Najib Razak said Monday.
The RM38 billion (S$15.5 billion) project is a joint-venture between national oil company Petronas and Shell Malaysia that will last 30 years.
“I am confident that this landmark undertaking will prove another significant milestone, not only for Petronas but for Malaysia’s development as well,” Mr Najib said at the signing of two new production-sharing contracts between Petronas and Shell.
The EOR technology, which will be employed in the Baram Delta and North Sabah fields, will help to boost the recovery efficiency of the oil fields to about 50 per cent and extend the fields’ life to beyond 2040.
If the project is successful, it could lead to the world’s first offshore Alkaline Surfactant Polymer EOR project using horizontal wells. It will also provide additional supplies for the country’s power and industrial needs, and promote organic growth in the oil, gas and energy sector, reported The New Straits Times.
