The planned listing of the country’s sole supplier of natural gas to the non-power sector was originally scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2011, but was delayed due to non-compliance with the commission’s rules.

Support me by purchasing my recommendations, or buying through my Amazon store. I need the money to pay for running this site. C’mone, where are those corporate sponsors?
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.
Support your local bookshop! Bookalicious at The Summit Subang turned two last Saturday, good selection of imported books. I think they focus on trilogies, quadrilogies, and other ologies. Tell them I sent you, and enjoy the look of perplexity on their faces. Those of you who have dropped my name, thanks!

In case you don’t know, this is at GPP3. Anyone have the inside scoop? Well, maybe I do, and prefer not to be sued.

This is a shout out for the IEM. My Technical Division will be hosting a talk on the 9th June, 2012. It’ll start at 10.00am and is worth 2 CPD hours.
PAS 55 is the British Standards Institution’s (BSI) Publicly Available Specification for the optimized management of physical assets – it provides clear definitions and a 28-point requirements specification for establishing and verifying a joined-up, optimized and whole-life management system for all types of physical assets. Now internationally recognized, PAS 55 is proving to be an essential, objective definition of what is required to demonstrate competence, establish improvement priorities and make better, clearer connections between strategic organizational plans and the actual day-to-day work and asset realities. PAS 55 provides clear evidence of sustainable good governance to customers, investors, regulators and other stakeholders. In contrast to many other standards, which can sometimes be met simply by having extensive paperwork, PAS 55 specifically requires evidence of alignment between good intentions and real, on-the-ground delivery. So it is a valuable mechanism to ensure that the principles of whole life cycle planning, risk management, cost/benefit, customer focus and sustainability etc. are actually delivered within the day-to-day activities of capital project implementation, operations, maintenance etc. PAS 55 is used as the basis to develop ISO55000 as an Asset Management Standard. The relevancy of its used is gaining recognition in Malaysia for organization that values improvement in their asset management standard. Organisations that have adopted such a systematic and optimized approach have consistently delivered significant bottom-line cost and performance/service improvements. The speaker shall share his experience in using PAS55 as standard development and asset performance auditing in Malaysia.

My technical division will be hosting a 1/2 day seminar on the 23rd June, 2012. It is worth 3.5 CPD points, and held at Wisma IEM. Since I’m giving it, I expect hoards will have to be turned away at the gates.
A Hazard and Operability study is a formal and systematic and detailed examination of the process and engineering intentions of new or existing facilities which assesses the hazard potential and effects on the facility as a whole when operation is outside of the design envelope, or individual items of equipment malfunction.
This half-day course is designed to educate participants in the HAZOP process from the perspective of a HAZOP team member. It is meant to provide both instruction and workshop sessions so that the participants:
- Are familiar with the concept of ‘risk’
- Are familiar with the theory behind HAZOP
- Are familiar with the actual HAZOP workshop process
- Have expectations as to what the HAZOP will (and won’t provide)
- Understand what deliverables can be expected from a HAZOP
- Have the opportunity to participate in HAZOP exercise in a safe environment
- Opportunity to share HAZOP experiences
At the end of the session, the participants should:
- Understand the responsibilities of all parties in the HAZOP
- Have experience in a HAZOP session.
- Understand the outcomes from a HAZOP session
Wata has 16 years of experience in the oil and gas industry, in both design and operations.
