Sabah lacks oil-gas sector skills: Don
June 28, 2016And after all the effort to make Sabah a spin-off of Malaysia’s Oil & Gas Hub.
Dateline 2016-06-02, Daily Express:
Despite Sabah having abundant oil and gas (O&G) resources, there is a lack of skilled technical Sabahan manpower in the O&G industry.
This situation was highlighted by Professor Ir. Dr Rosalam Sarbatly (pic), the Dean of the Faculty of Engineering, Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) in his presentation “Challenges and opportunities in developing the skill and talented human capital in oil and gas sector in Sabah” at the 5th Oil and Gas Conference and Exhibition recently.
Dr Rosalam is also the executive director for UMS Oil & Gas Sdn Bhd (UOil).
“This is compounded by a lack of interest among many local students in science, technology engineering and mathematics, particularly from rural areas,” Dr Rosalam explained, pinning his hopes on rural area students, as more urban students tend to opt for prestigious professions like architecture, medicine, law, accountancy and others.

June 27, 2016Ramadhan Kareem and Happy New Staff week.
Donate to your favorite charity (for this month, choose other than 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.
- A mate of mine is looking for a MD/EngMan type person to help run his engineering company (the main business is skid manufacturing). He can’t handle the work volume, so you know that his oil & gas company is bucking the trend, and has a bright future ahead. If I know you, send your CV’s to me. If I don’t know you, send your CV along anyway, but note I will contact your references. I am not getting a commission for this ad, you know.
- I’m looking for fresh meat-ish, to help with a peak work period.
- Nothing in the papers today.
- I’m looking for jobs for 4Q2016. Send me your POs.
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? Any weight loss diet.
Let’s get a bit nostalgic with the book selection.

Malaysia’s THHE Not Given More Time from JX Nippon to Complete Layang FPSO
June 26, 2016Man, can you feel the hate to THHE? Though, in this case the hate seems to be in the article title, not the actual article itself.
Dateline 2016-06-01, Rigzone:
TH Heavy Engineering Berhad, an offshore oil and gas facilities fabricator, clarified Tuesday that the firm is not aware of the one year extension given by Japan’s JX Nippon Oil & Gas Exploration (Malaysia) Ltd. to complete the floating, production storage and offloading (FPSO) unit for the Layang field in Block SK10 offshore Sarawak, Malaysia as reported May 28 by a local media, it said in a filing on Bursa Malaysia.

Malaysia gas find for Sapura
June 25, 2016There’s a big difference between ‘gas find’ and ‘finds gas’, which I read upon first glance, and triggered an aggressive response.
Dateline 2016-05-31, OE:
SapuraKencana Energy discovered gas in two of the three wells drilled in 2015 within the SK408 block contract area, offshore Malaysia in Sarawak.
The first well Jerun-1 is approximately 5km north of the 2014 Bakong gas discovery. Based on analysis of electric log, pressure and sample data, Jerun-1 has an interpreted gross gas column of about 800m in the primary target reservoir and is a multi-Tcf gas discovery.
Jeremin-1, about 15km west of the F9 gas field encountered a 104m gross gas column, but Putat-1, 20km north of the Cili Padi gas field was confirmed as a dry hole. All wells have been safely plugged and abandoned.
SapuraKencana said Jerun-1 and Jeremin-1 together with the earlier five discoveries within Block SK408 are close to existing infrastructure supplying gas to one of the world’s largest liquefied natural gas (LNG) facilities in Bintulu, Sarawak.
SapuraKencana as operator holds 40% working interest in the project, and partners PETRONAS and Sarawak Shell hold the remaining interest of 30% each.

M’sia ‘not committed’ to nuclear power, but studies go on
June 24, 2016Commit, already. I need some to power my DeLorean time machine.
Dateline 2016-05-30, Malaysiakini:
Malaysia is still conducting extensive research on nuclear technology, at the same time educating the people about the energy form.
Malaysian Nuclear Agency (MNA) deputy director-general, Mohd Ashhar Kalid said, Malaysia was still not committed in using nuclear as a source to generate electricity anytime soon but conducting research and educating the public were crucial for the country.
“We are still not ready to venture into nuclear energy yet as the understanding of the people regarding nuclear energy is still very low.
“Many are still not prepared for nuclear energy,” he told reporters after launching the World Nuclear University (WNU) Short Course in George Town, today.
