First off, 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, you are definitely Cylon fodder.

Dropping by at the Kompleks Operasi Petronas (KOP) on Sunday, 11th Oct, 2009 (yes, I do work on Sundays), I noticed that PCSB has quite the community spirit.

ExxonMobil Malaysia is usually top notch when it comes to posters, presentations and all other pictorial forms of communication. That why this poster amuses me so much:
Let’s see now, on average I travel 60km a day, yet using the recommended grade of motor oil, I can gain up to 250 miles (400 km) per day. Why isn’t my tank overflowing with the 340km worth of petrol I can gain per day? Or is this based on someone who travels 20,000 km per day?

As I go on my marketing rounds, I went and visited Dato’ R. We went quaffing and dungeon crawling … nope wrong blog. I gotta stop playing Nethack.
Anyhow, he shared with me that he and his team has installed electrical submersible pumps (ESPs) in a Malaysian operations environment. The units are installed using CTUs as opposed to drilling rigs (to the workover engineers among you, can you explain why this is important?). The ESPs are Western Submersible Pumps.
Gaslift now has competion. Some of the ESP advantages I can think of are:
- less compression capacity is required, as the volume of recirculated gas is reduced.
- Improved controllability: flowrate only depends on pump perfomance curves, rather than say, compressor availability.
- Mature Tech: someone count how many ESPs are in Acheh.
Though I think that use of ESPs indicate that Malaysian fields are acknowledged to be on the decline.
