As I travel up and down the region, I chanced upon the Garuda Indonesia Executive Lounge. It’s pretty exclusive, as only Garuda Executive Class guests and above can use it. As you can see, there weren’t that many travellers the day I passed through.

Malaysia Oil And Gas Report Q4 2010 – New Market Report Published
August 29, 2010Dateline 2010-08-26, taken from Officialwire:
The latest Malaysia Oil & Gas Report from BMI forecasts that the country will account for 1.78% of Asia Pacific regional oil demand by 2014, providing 8.50% of supply.
Regional oil use of 21.42mn b/d in 2001 is set to reach a forecast 27.15mn b/d in 2010, then to rise to around 30.21mn b/d by 2014.
Regional oil production was around 8.35mn b/d in 2001 and is forecast to average an estimated 8.82mn b/d in 2010. It is set to increase only slightly to 8.89mn b/d by 2014.
Oil imports are growing rapidly, because demand growth is outstripping the pace of supply expansion. In 2001 the region was importing an average 13.07mn b/d. This total will rise to a projected 18.32mn b/d in 2010 and is forecast to reach 21.32mn b/d by 2014. The principal importers will be China, Japan, India and South Korea. By 2014 the only net exporter will be Malaysia.

Kuala Belait
August 27, 2010I had some business in Kuala Belait, Brunei (I trust the clients were satisfied). It was the fasting month, and I was inside an office the whole of daylight hours, so I didn’t have many photo opportunities. The following photos were taken at the the sungkai prepared by Riviera Cafe.

Send your qualifications here or snail mail to M3nergy Berhad, Central Services Division (Recruitment Section) 25th and 32nd Floor, Wisma UOA II, 21 Jalan Pinang, 50450 KL.
No food recommendations this week. I was in Brunei last week, and came to the conclusion that the buka puasa buffet is not well practiced in Kuala Belait. Can’t beat the price, though. Around B$9/pax was the most expensive one I found.

Newfield Exploration Resumes Oil Production Following Pipeline Repair Offshore Malaysia
August 19, 2010Ah, have the found the alleged vessel that dragged the pipeline? More importantly, have they found the captain’s body? Or was it the kraken?
If you need flow assurance done on the pipeline after the repairs, you know who to call. If you want the pipeline re-certified, call the same people as well.
Dateline 2010-08-09, from PR Newswire:
Newfield Exploration Company (NYSE: NFX) today announced that oil production from its East Belumut Field, located on PM 323 offshore Malaysia, had resumed following repairs to a damaged export pipeline. Field production has been returned to more than 20,000 BOPD (gross).
The East Belumut field was offline for four weeks, following damage to an oil pipeline connecting the East Belumut platform on PM 323 to the Tinggi platform (located approximately 17 miles from East Belumut). The damage was caused by the activities of an unidentified marine vessel unrelated to Newfield’s operations. East Belumut is located approximately 160 miles offshore Peninsular Malaysia in 240 feet of water. Newfield operates PM 323 with a 60% interest.

Pertamina starts overseas production
August 18, 2010Taken from the Jakarta Post, dateline 2010-08-04:
State oil and gas firm PT Pertamina expects to double production at a Malaysian oil block, the company’s first overseas operation, to 12,000 barrels per day next year.
Dwi Martono, president director of PT Pertamina Hulu Energi, Pertamina’s subsidiary managing overseas operations, said the SK-305 block, which lies off the shores of Sarawak in Malaysia, began production on June 26, 2010.
“The current oil production rate is 6,000 bpd, but we expect to increase that to 12,000 bpd in 2011,” Dwi told reporters Tuesday.
He said the block also produced gas at a rate of 9 million standard cubic feet per day.
The gas production has the potential to increase to 40 MMSCFD, but Dwi said the current focus was to boost oil production.
Dwi said the SK-305 block was a major accomplishment in Pertamina’s history as it was the first up-and-running overseas block that the company had been involved in from the get go. “This is a milestone for us,” he said. The block, which covers 16,400 square kilometers, is located in waters up to 150 meters deep in Balingian Province off the coast of Sarawak.

From The Star – Oil price up and it is good for Malaysia
August 17, 2010Taken from the Star, dateline 2010-08-04:
Analysts say this is generally good for nation but it can stoke inflation worries
PETALING JAYA: Crude oil hovered at a three-month high as the weaker US dollar made it cheaper to purchase the same quantity of fuel in other currencies.
Analysts believed a higher crude oil price was generally “good” for Petroliam Nasional Bhd (Petronas) and the country. As a net oil exporter, albeit a small one, the rise in prices will translate into higher earnings from sales overseas, which are under pressure from the ringgit’s 8.4% rise year-to-date.
But the Government also subsidised the bulk of the fuel sold in the domestic market.
