UPDATE 2-Malaysia’s Petronas sees stronger 2017 earnings after Q3 profit surges
January 16, 2018Dateline 2017-11-23, Reuters:
Malaysian state energy firm Petroliam Nasional Berhad, or Petronas, on Thursday forecast higher full-year earnings for 2017, after posting a 64 percent jump in third-quarter profit on improved oil prices.
A higher profit would be the second straight year of improved earnings at Petronas, reversing a two-year profit slump with the help of a modest recovery in oil prices and cost-cutting measures.
“Petronas expects the group’s overall year-end performance to be better than last year,” the company said, indicating an improved view of the energy market since August, when it expected its annual performance to be “fair”.

Saturday Star 2018-01-13 – Job Opportunities
January 15, 2018Happy worry about a new year 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, and they have moved adverts to another online presence (I bought a dead tree edition this week). 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 2Q2018. Send me your POs.
Food choice of the week? Please patronise King’s Confectionery at IOI Mall. A member of the family is working there while waiting for exam results. Go on, you know you want to a donut (British edition) every 3 hours.
This week, may I suggest you have a peek at Dakwah Corner? They have branches in Subang Parade, PJ Section 14, Ampang Park (okay, forget about the Ampang Park branch)

January 14, 2018Dateline 2017-11-21, Malay Mail:
Will we see a return of fuel subsidies in the next few weeks? PKR’s Rafizi Ramli thinks so.

Will states’ O&G ambition be in conflict with PDA?
January 13, 2018Dateline 2017-11-21, The Edge:
UP until a few years ago, any state looking to set up its own dedicated oil and gas outfit — and aiming for a larger share of oil revenue from production activities, or any similar plan — would have hit a brick wall in the form of Petroliam Nasional Bhd (Petronas). However, more recently, the situation has changed for various reasons.
In 2014, the Sabah government formed Sabah International Petroleum Sdn Bhd “as a special-purpose entity to support the state’s continuous development in the oil and gas sector and to further strengthen the Sabah government’s position in the oil and gas industry”.
And now, there is Petroleum Sarawak Bhd (Petros), which will seek a larger share of oil revenue from production activities for Sarawak.

Reject Territorial Sea Act restricting right over sea, Sarawak told
January 12, 2018Yeah, tell Sarawak off.
Dateline 2017-11-18, FMT:
Sarawak PKR has called on the state government to reject the implementation of a law passed by Parliament in 2012 which limits the state’s sovereign right and jurisdiction over its surrounding seas, from within 12km from the coastline to just 3km.
Its vice-chairman See Chee How said the Territorial Sea Act 2012 (TSA) was unconstitutional as far as it affected the territorial boundaries of Sarawak and Sabah.
He said Sarawak should claim its full rights as specified under Article 1(3) of the Federal Constitution which stipulates that the territories of Sarawak, Sabah and 11 other states comprise areas they had jurisdiction over prior to Malaysia Day on Sept 16, 1963.
“The Federation cannot enact any law altering or affecting our territorial boundary unless Sarawak first passes a law in our legislative assembly to alter it,” he said.

Get mining licences and leases, Sarawak tells Petronas
January 11, 2018Dateline 2017-11-17, The Malaysian Insight:
IN the latest move by Sarawak to reclaim its constitutional rights, the state government has told Petronas to get the necessary mining permits in a move seen as exerting its mining rights.
Chief Minister Abang Johari Openg said even though the Petroleum Development Act 1974 (PDA) gave the national petroleum company the right to explore and mine for petroleum in Sarawak, the state still retains the right to issuing mining leases.
He said the rights are listed in the federal constitution.
“The power of the state to issue mining leases remains in the state list of the federal constitution.
