I’m promoting the above event, which is being spearheaded by Dato’ Sri Syafiq, from Jurunature Sdn Bhd. The current plan for the event is:
- Date: April 24, 2009
- Venue : Bukit Jalil Golf and Country Club
- Golf: 2.30 pm for GOLF
- Dinner and Get Together: 7.30 for dinner and Get Together with non-golfers
What he requires is a response for:
- Participation in golf to enable coordination of the number of flights and golf course booking
- Participation in the dinner at 7.30 pm
So, those of us who have proudly participated in the above organisation, and proceed to spread its gospel to the rest of the Malaysian (and further) oil & gas industry, please respond by sending a comment to this article with your correct email address, and I’ll forward the details to Dato’.
Here’s hoping for your contribution in making this the beginning of renewing contacts, start of a community and the first of a series of events.

Did you know that if you were Petronas or EMEPMI staff, you can take advantage of a chartered flight between Subang and Kerteh? It shaves off hours from the usual KLIA-Kuantan-Kerteh route. It leaves Kerteh at 7:00, leaves Subang at 8:30. The afternoon flight leaves Kerteh at 4:30, and leaves Subang at 6:00. As a former colleague of mine says, it’s travelling during gentleman hours.
No inflight movie, and no refreshments. The reading material is a bit thin, something about exits. Did I mention that 2 people sit abreast? You do get a personel safety briefing by the flight captain.
A commercial flight used to travel between Kerteh and Subang, Pelangi Air. Rumour has it that it went down due to mismanagement.
So, a business opportunity. Maybe work with Awana Genting for packages, and promote Pulau Tenggol. Actually, don’t promote Tenggol, I want to keep the diving crowd to the ‘need to know’ basis.

I’ve found the Schlumberger Oilfield Glossary to be a useful source of info, helping me figure out where Enhanced Oil Recovery is used in Malaysia.
- Water Alternating Gas (WAG) is a EOR method which has been looked at. I believe PRSS was looking at it when they still existed.
- Chemical EOR is being tested as a pilot project at PCSB’s Angsi asset. Akaline surfactant is injected into the reservoir to reduce water flood residual oil saturation.
- I believe EMEPMI is looking at WAG, though I don’t know whether it’s a table top exercise, or they have moved to field trials.
At USD 129 / barrel, EOR is definitely more profitable.
If you know more, please write in, esp. as to what is happening in East Malaysia.

I earlier reported that TCOT / OSC were being handed over to PCSB. Now I can note that ExxonMobil Exploration and Production Malaysia Inc’s (EMEPMI) Production Sharing Contracts (PSC) were extended.
At 3:00 p.m. on Wednesday, March 26, EMEPMI signed with PETRONAS and PETRONAS Carigali the Main Principles Agreement that will lead to the execution of a new Production Sharing Contract (PSC).
In summary, the new PSC will enable EMEPMI to continue production of the existing reserves in the seven fields currently under the 1995 PSC until 2033. It will also be pursuing additional oil development and will have the opportunity to pursue Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) activities.
As part of the arrangement, EMEPMI will retain operatorship of all the existing offshore fields, and will extend this to 2033. Operatorship of the onshore assets, and in particular the Terengganu Crude Oil Terminal (TCOT), will be transferred earlier than initially planned, and will be accelerated from 2012 to no later than June 2009 along with the gas and condensate facilities (i.e. OSC). This transfer is strategic to PETRONAS due to national interest considerations.
Other aspects of EMEPM’s current onshore operations at Kemaman Supply Base will
remain as is.

On Tues, 25th March, 2008, the staff at Terengganu Crude Oil Terminal (TCOT) were informed that TCOT and the Onshore Slug Catcher (OSC) will be changing operatorship. By 1st quarter 2009, PETRONAS Carigali Sdn Bhd (PCSB) will be operating TCOT and OSC. ExxonMobil Exploration and Production Malaysia Inc. (EMEPMI) staff currently working at the two locations will be offered a voluntary separation scheme (VSS).
TCOT and OSC are located in the picturesque town of Kertih, Terengganu, Malaysia. TCOT is the terminal for all the offshore oil pipelines, whereas OSC, together with the PCSB operated Onshore Gas Terminal (OGT) are the collection points for offshore gas.
Carigali will send a handover team over on 1st April 2008, with the intention to be ready for full transfer of operatorship by 31st August, 2008.
