February 3, 2009Those who took for granted that the fuel rebates started last year would continue indefinitely have to think again. Any I never got the opportunity to enjoy the rebate, seeing that my road tax expires in April.

Naming of Oil & Gas Fields
January 30, 2009Fields tend to be named after a certain theme:
- Mountains (Lawit, Larut, Bintang (not hill!), Jerneh, Seligi) – ExxonMobil convention.
- Flowers – Bunga Orkid, Bunga Raya, Bunga Kertah (I think Bunga Kertas is the name of a Floating Production, Storage and Offloading facility, FPSO).
- Fish – Kikeh.
- Birds – Helang, Layang
- Precious Stones – Ruby, Pearl, these are Vietnamese fields.
- Storms (I’m guessing here) – Patricia, South Furious (or could it be ladies?)
Let me know if you see other regional trends.
