Saturday Star 2017-01-07 – Job Opportunities
January 9, 2017Happy Sherlock Week. 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. 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 2Q2017. Send me your POs.
Food choice of the week? I would suggest visiting Sudu & Garpu, SS15.

Oil Becoming Code for Sovereignty in Contested South China Sea
December 30, 2016Dateline 2016-11-23, Voice of America Khmer edition (what hey?):
The search for oil and natural gas is seen as a driving factor in rival claims to the South China Sea, with many of the countries in the region currently reliant largely on fuel imports.
Yet no one has struck a head-turning deposit of oil or gas in the 3.5-million-square-km (1.4-square-mile) sea, which stretches from Taiwan to Singapore, despite prospecting since 1970.
Analysts who follow the South China Sea disputes point to national sovereignty as a top reason that countries are exploring for oil and gas. Brunei, China, Malaysia and Vietnam do their own prospecting. The Philippine government accepted exploration bids in 2014 from private companies.

Bintulu boy Pau on cloud nine atop MLNG
December 29, 2016Dateline 2016-11-21, Borneo Post:
A Bintulu boy has been leading Malaysia LNG Group of Companies (MLNG) since last April.
For Pau Kiew Huai, pushing an ageing plant to produce a world-class performance is a massive challenge for Petronas subsidiary MLNG, which manages and operates the Petronas LNG Complex (PLC).
But sustaining the company’s financial performance under the duress of a prolonged oil and LNG price slump is something Pau Kiew Huai and his 1,500-strong team must deliver.
When Pau was appointed to the post, the global oil price was below USD30 per barrel. Hence, it was an appointment very few people would envy.
But Pau viewed the challenges as opportunities to prove that the impossible is possible.
His experience as an engineer at MLNG will come in handy. It taught him to be self reliant, disciplined and committed.
