Standing firm over oil and gas

December 7, 2018

Dateline 2018-10-14, Borneo Post:

Chief Minister Datuk Patinggi Abang Johari Tun Openg has reiterated that Sarawak will not compromise on regulatory rights over its oil and gas activities.
He said the state had amended its Oil Mining Ordinance (OMO) 1958 to further strengthen the regulatory rights over oil and gas activities in Sarawak.
“I would like to assure you once again that we will not compromise on the issue of Sarawak oil and gas. The oil and gas are ours and the OMO 1958 gave us full control over oil and gas in our state.
“Other parties (industry players) can develop our resources and our gas but they cannot do so if they do not have licences issued by the State of Sarawak through PETROS (Petroleum Sarawak Bhd),” he said during the parade and rally in conjunction with Sarawak Yang di-Pertua Negeri Tun Abdul Taib Mahmud’s 82nd birthday celebration at Dataran Tun Tuanku Haji Bujang here yesterday.

December 6, 2018

Dateline 2018-10-11, Malaysian Reserve:

Malaysia’s oil and gas (O&G) sector is looking to recruit and invest in new talent and technology due to improved market confidence as a result of stronger energy prices.

Monster.com Asia-Pacific and Middle East CEO Abhijeet Mukherjee said these factors have unlocked new investments and operations in large-scale O&G projects.

“This increase in activity is enabling companies to refocus on recruiting quality talent to lead and deliver value,” he told The Malaysian Reserve.

The industry, he added, is gradually shifting from dependency on manual labour to becoming data-and analytics-driven.

“We see recruitment happening in new areas such as robotics, big data and artificial intelligence as companies use technology to make working conditions more attractive, better forecast and production more economically viable.”

According to the Monster Employment Index (MEI), Malaysia’s O&G sector has witnessed positive annual growth in online recruitment since April last year.

Time for Petros to lay out its plans

December 4, 2018

Yeah, since Sabah wants to emulate them.

Dateline 2018-10-11, FMT:

It has been over one and a half years since the announcement to set up Petroleum Sarawak Bhd (Petros) was made. Until today, no specifics have been released by the Sarawak government or its Chief Minister Abang Johari Openg.

As days go by, more questions emerge such as the amount of initial paid-up and working capital the state government will inject to get Petros operational, and who will make up the senior management aside from Saau Kakok who has been announced as its CEO.

Saau is a former special projects vice-president of US-based independent oil company, Hess Corporation.

Abang Johari, when announcing the setting up of Petros in 2017, said: “Petros is expected to be in operation within six months because we must get our side ready for us to get involved in upstream oil and gas (O&G) activities.”

Dateline 2018-10-09, Malaysian Reserve:

MALAYSIAN companies have recorded a total RM397.9 million of export potential via the International Sourcing Programme (INSP) at the 4th Malaysian Oil and Gas Services Exhibition and Conference (MOGSEC) 2018 that was held between Sept 25 and Sept 26, 2018.

The exhibition saw the participation of 34 Malaysian oil and gas (O&G) companies that were eyeing export markets including the United Arab Emirates, Pakistan, Turkey, Myanmar and Vietnam.

Malaysia External Trade Development Corp (Matrade) CEO Dr Mohd Shahreen Zainooreen Madros (picture) said in a statement the export potential was configured through 86 meetings organised under the INSP.

“The INSP helps a great deal for local companies as they get to meet with the foreign buyers in their home country, giving them a competitive advantage in terms of cost,” he said.

He added that foreign buyers at the INSP this year were sourcing various Malaysian O&G services including equipment and parts, rig cooling services, well-testing support equipment services, vessel monitoring systems, remote monitoring, manpower supply and services, transportation and logistics, services gas, as well as saturation logging and simulation studies.
