ConocoPhilips invests US$1.5bil in oil production in Malaysia

June 13, 2012

Dateline 2012-05-18:

ConocoPhilips, among the world’s biggest oil producer from the United States, has invested US$1.5bil (RM4.6bil) in Malaysia so far for oil production in offshore Sabah.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said the company’s investment was to realise the 300,000 barrels per day production target in 2016.

“Conoco has invested in three areas off Sabah, but that takes end of 2013 for the first production, but the peak will be in 2016, where they expect the production to touch 300,000 barrels a day, about half of our current production,” said Najib to Malaysian journalists after his meeting representatives of America’s leading corporate companies at Havard Club of New York here.

Saturday Star 2012-05-26 – Job Opportunities

May 28, 2012

Support me by purchasing my recommendations, or buying through my Amazon store. I need the money to pay for running this site. C’mone, where are those corporate sponsors?

If you need my help to submit your CVs, donate to the blog, and I’ll review your CV to see if it is worthy of my (and my associates’) expectations. If you can’t figure out how to donate, no need to ask.

  • I’m looking for a senior process engineer, 7+ years experience. Send your cv here . Also looking for process safety persons, lead piping designer, lead instrument engineer, and other seniors you think will catch my eye.
  • Carigali Hess is looking for a senior engineer, mech piping, senior engineer, project, senior engineer, process safety, QA/QC Engineer, FEED Engineer, Construction Engineer, E&I Engineer, Senior Planner. Send your cv here,  with a detailed resume stating references, expected remuneration, contact telephone and email address, before 10th June, 2012
  • Kebabangan Petroleum Operating Company (KPOC to friends) has a two-page spread. Anyhow, the posts that they hope to fill are too numerous to names. Apply here, or snail mail to: Kebabangan Petroleum Operating Comp Sdn Bhd, Level 52, Tower 2, PETRONAS Twin Towers, KLCC, 50088 KL, Malaysia.

May I suggest that readers install the Waze app on their phones? And use it as much as possible? It says its a “a social mobile application providing free turn-by-turn navigation based on the live conditions of the road. 100% powered by users, the more you drive, the better it gets. Join the community of drivers in your area today!” It’s definitely getting better for the Klang Valley area, though we need more users from East Malaysia.

Support your local bookshop!  Bookalicious at The Summit Subang turned two last Saturday, good selection of imported books. 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!

I find that photography is more and more important when going to site, using it a record of finding, interesting things to share or lampoon, depending on your taste.

From Reuters – ConocoPhillips seeks to expand in Malaysia upstream

June 22, 2010

Does ConocoPhillips want to operate oil blocks in Malaysia? They do have an office in the Twin Towers, but I believe its represents CoP’s interests in JV’s rather than operating as a PSC.

Dateline 2010-06-08, reported by Reuters:

ConocoPhillips (COP.N), the third-largest U.S. oil company by market value, is talking to national energy giant Petronas to expand its position in the upstream sector in Malaysia, a senior executive said on Tuesday.

“We are certainly looking for opportunities in Malaysia. We are talking to Petronas,” said Ryan M Lance, ConocoPhillips’ Senior Vice President, Exploration & Production, International.

“We would love to expand our position in Malaysia,” he told Reuters on the sidelines of an oil and gas conference in the Malaysian capital.

Asked what areas ConocoPhillips is targeting, he said: “Exploration oil and gas. We are always looking for good opportunities.”
