Saturday Star 2017-07-08 – Job Opportunities

July 10, 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. Either that, or the electronic version of The Star doesn’t have all the content of the dead tree version. 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.

Oil & gas companies to promote use of natural gas

July 4, 2017

Dateline 2017-05-09, Borneo Post:

Oil & gas companies can help promote the use of natural gas, together with renewable energy as the cleaner fuel option to sustain economic growth, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said.

He said now is the right time to encourage the adoption of natural gas in new markets as prices have become attractive, aided by the right investment in infrastructure.

“I am hopeful that companies and governments can form ‘smart’ partnerships to unlock the full potential of natural gas as a viable option, which makes both commercial and environmental sense.

“It is important that we see these two motives as supporting one another, not being in opposition,”  he said in his keynote address at the 19th Asia Oil and Gas Conference yesterday.

Prioritising safety of fisherman around offshore platforms

June 25, 2017

Dateline 2017-05-27, The Star:

The Sahabat Maritim programme is an efficient platform for oil-and-gas companies and enforcement agencies to engage with fishermen on safety around offshore platforms.

Repsol Oil and Gas Malaysia Ltd stakeholder relations manager Farid Jaafar said the programme was a collaborative effort between Petronas, the Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency (MMEA) and oil-and-gas companies.

“I think Sahabat Maritim is an excellent initiative. In the past we used to do things separately. It makes more sense to collaborate as we all work in the same area, namely offshore in the South China Sea.

“The Sahabat Maritim programme allows us all to collaborate and jointly engage the fishing community. It makes it more efficient,” he said at a media briefing on Repsol’s projects here yesterday.
