While plowing the depths of Wisma Central to visit an associate company, I was reminded of this little gem. You must be paying serious GST to afford an indoor court.
No court bunnies or queens (which is the politically incorrect term)?

Tough year ahead for Malaysia’s oil and gas sector
May 12, 2015Can I adopt a godfather, please?
Dateline 2015-04-07, Malay Mail:
Malaysia’s oil and gas (O&G) sector’s mergers and acquisitions (M&As) this year are expected to fall slightly to US$5 billion (RM18 billion) from US$5.7 billion last year.
Deloitte Malaysia Energy and Resources Leader, Nizar Najib, said some firms may have cashed out to launch acquisitions but the others may not have the means to undertake M&As due to depletion in their order books.
“The acquisitions would likely be more domestic-focused as Malaysian firms were interested to consolidate locally,” he told Bernama at the Deloitte South-East Asia Oil and Gas Summit 2015 here today.

May 11, 2015Happy Whistleblower Week. As a reminder, if you have evidence that a foreign worker is executing engineering responsibilities without registering as a Professional Engineer, you can submit a complaint to the BEM here. Or to me, where I will forward to the BEM. Your whistle blowing anonymity is assured.
Also, Buy my recommendations, or through my Amazon store. Or get the Young Turks series (all 4 books). Where are those corporate sponsors? Or throw donations at me.
- An associate of mine is looking for a well completion engineer, 10 years in the position (no, not position 23b, second variant). Send your CV to me. As per my Facebook posting, idiotic applications, straight to /dev/null.
- An associate of mine is looking for a technical safety part-time adviser. Needs to be needle sharp with respect to QRAs, and HSE safety cases. A calm demeanor to handle nonsensical questions from young engineers helps as well. Either that, or a drinking problem.
- An associate of mine is looking for an offshore structural engineer, senior engineer, 5+ years experience, permanent post. Relevant applications + bribery fee can be sent to me, not relevant applications get posted to facepalm.com.
- An associate of mine is looking for a Senior process engineer, more than 5 yr experience in oil and gas industry, for assignment at PPMSB for approximately 7 months. Tentative duration is to start mid May, ends on 31 Dec. Again, I am running a bribery bid.
- Hess is still looking for a measurement and allocation engineer (2 I believe). I saw that the ITB is still floating around. If you want me, you know where to find me. Not Celebrity Fitness, if you need a hint.
- Qatar Petroleum is looking for electrical engineers, instrument engineer, field production supervisor. Apply here or visit the website.
Support your local bookshop! Bookalicious at The Summit Subang is a good choice. 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!
Food choice of the week? Go visit the mee bandung / asam pedas stall in front of the Petaling Jaya Police Station (don’t ask).
Seen the Episode VII new trailer? Ff you say “What is episode Vii?”, I disown you.

May 9, 2015Dateline 2015-04-07, Offshore Engineer:
Japanese exploration firm JX Nippon Oil & Gas Exploration’s Malaysia subsidiary is planning two further exploration wells offshore Malaysia after confirming a deepwater oil discovery.

Santos strikes oil in Malaysian drilling
May 3, 2015Dateline 2015-03-26, The Sidney Morning Herald:
Santos has reported a “significant” oil discovery in its deep-water exploration campaign in Malaysia, providing a welcome piece of good news for investors.
The Bestari-1 well, drilled with Malaysian national operator Petronas, comes just two months after Santos completed a deal to buy a 20 per cent stake in the Block R Production Sharing Contract containing the exploration prospect.
Santos’s vice-president for Asia, John Anderson, said Santos was “very encouraged” by the find, which he said had similarities to “some of the other world-class fields in the area”.
Block R, located offshore East Malaysia, lies in an area where large fields have been discovered, including Murphy Oil’s Kikeh and Shell’s Gumusut-Kakap oilfields.
