November 5, 2016

 

Unit Tindakan Khas (UTK) telah mengakhiri era kewujudan mereka apabila termaktub semua perjanjian PSC yang selebihnya.

Petikan dari “Tuah Jebat di PETRONAS”

May 7, 2016

 

Lepas seketika, semua isteri-isteri menerima waktu-waktu kerja kami yang sangat panjang kerana kesukaran yang kami hadapi dipaparkan dalam media tempatan. Anda tahu, apabila kami berunding, akhbar-akhbar tempatan kita turut memberikan gambaran tentang pandangan syarikat-syarikat minyak multinasional bahawa kami ini terlalu nasionalistik, terlalu bersemangat dan sangat keras kepala. Syarikat-syarikat minyak utama mempunyai semua jentera perhubungan awam Kami, tidak ada.

Petikan dari “Tuah Jebat Di PETRONAS” – Renungan Mohd Idris Mansor

September 8, 2015

Tentang ‘Seven Sisters’:

Dunai hari ini (2005) adalah amat berlainan. 30 tahun dulu, minyak dan gas merupakan domain beberapa syarikat minyak, iaitu “The Seven Sisters.” Apabila PETRONAS ditubuhkan, kami sebagai pekerja-pekerja yang diambil berkhidmat, secara tidak langsung, mejadi orang-orang yang paling aktif tentang industri minyak dan gas. Jadi, kami dipertanggungjawabkan dengan perundingan-perundingan yang perlu dibuat. Selain itu, apabila bos telah memanggil anda dan berkata, “kamu pergi laksanakannya,”anda akan berkata, “baik, tuan!” Anda tidak boleh berkata, “maaf tuan, saya tidak tahu bagaimana.”

Wish my staff were as enthusiastic for the bleeding edge.

Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) for household use was initially marketed by PETRONAS in 12kg cylinders whilst the 50kg cylinders were for industrial use. Dagangan’s survey indicated that on average a household would use 12kg of LPG per month for cooking purposes thus giving the 12kg cylinders a slight advantage in cash outlay as opposed to Shell’s 14kg cylinders….

Extract from “Young Turks” – Know How

November 3, 2014

The reason is that they have technical know-how. That was something we did not have. We thought, if we just give them the oil field, we will always need them because we cannot do it ourselves. We decided that along the way, we must design a policy that allows the transfer of technology to Malaysian companies while they are still producing the oil.
