Well wishes on Malaysia Day.

Buy my recommendations, or through my Amazon store. Where are those corporate sponsors? Or throw donations at me. I need RM360 to get The Star ePaper.

  • I’m looking for a senior process engineer, 7+ years experience. Send your cv here. Also looking for process safety persons, metering / measurement engineers and other seniors you think will catch my eye.
  • ExxonMobil is looking for an Electrical SME. Since they accept diploma holders, does this mean that you don’t have to be registered as an engineer in this country? BEM police, please help. Apply here if interested.

Help me (and you) increase my cloud presence. Pleease use some form of cloud storage, so if you lose your laptop with those oh-so-important reports, be assured that (with Internet access) the files are still accessible.

Break the Low Yat stranglehold! Support Newegg Malaysia, or check Amazon’s International Shipping. Yeah, baby!

I’ve had days of interpreting bad data. Apparently is catching.

Saturday Star 2013-09-07 – Job Opportunities

September 9, 2013

  • Kebabangan Petroleum Operating Company (KPOC to friends) has a three-page spread.

Farewell, Esso

August 16, 2012

Yes, we have all seen the change of corporate branding along the North South Highway (and others) from Esso to Petron. But, for the less glamorous petrol stations, they still maintain the old corporate identity. Esso, we salute you. Now, if Shell would like to sell its downstream activities to … Carling?

Petron not giving up on Esso Malaysia takeover bid

May 31, 2012

Dateline 2012-10-15:

Petron Corp. wants to fully take over a Malaysian oil refiner by offering to buy out its remaining public shareholders for the second time.

Petron, through its international arm Petron Oil and Gas International Sdn, Bhd, has beefed up its stake in Esso Malaysia Bhd to 73.32% from 65% after a recent tender offer to minority shareholders.

Petron chairman and CEO Ramon Ang told reporters they hoped to own 100% of Esso, but not all shareholders accepted their offer.

Esso minority shareholders told to reject Petron offer

May 4, 2012

Don’t know about you, but didn’t Esso sell EMB because it wasn’t making that much money?

Dateline 2012-04-20:

Kenanga Investment Bank Bhd, which is the adviser for Esso Malaysia Bhd (EMB) minority shareholders, has advised them to reject the takeover offer by Petron Corp, an affiliate of Philippines-based San Miguel Corp (SMC) so that they may benefit from the positive prospects of the oil and gas industry in which EMB operates in.

Esso petrol station operators face supply shortage

April 28, 2012

Dateline 2012-04-09:

Esso station operators in the Klang Valley claim that their businesses have been affected when they did not receive petrol and diesel supplies from the oil company lately.

The disruption in the supply of the commodity raised questions among operators of the petrol stations whether the problem was linked to the change in management following the take-over of Esso Malaysia Bhd by Petron Oil and Gas International Sdn Bhd.

Petron Oil and Gas International, a unit under San Miguel Corporation, acquired 65 percent interests in ExxonMobil International Holdings Inc including Esso petrol stations and the Esso oil refinery in Port Dickson in the transaction that was reported to have been concluded on March 30.

Saturday Star 2012-02-18 – Job Opportunities

February 20, 2012

Support me by purchasing my recommendations, or buying through my Amazon store. I need the money to pay for running this site. Corporate level sponsors are encouraged.

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.
  • ExxonMobil has a two page spread. They are looking for fresh meat chemical engineers, refining process eng, automation engineer, control application engineers, lead safety facilities eng, instrument eng, mechanical eng, RTO eng (hat’s an RTO eng?)  . Submit your applications here.
  • Technip is looking for their next biggest ass et: You. Visit here soon. Apply to Synergy first.

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! Visit Bookalicious at The Summit Subang, good selection of imported books. I think they focus on trilogies, quadrilogies, and otherologies. Tell them I sent you, and enjoy the look of perplexity on their faces

Let’s talk a bit about deepwater books:

  

Deepwater Petroleum Exploration & Production, A Sea in Flames, Disaster on The Horizon

This week’s food promotion is the Shangri La, Jakarta.

Saturday Star 2009-03-28 – Job Opportunities

March 30, 2009

Another week, another scan of the Saturday Star newspaper. Here’s a list of job ads in the paper:

  • ExxonMobil is looking for Instrumentation, Electrical, Mechanical, Prodution Trainee Technician. By applying and graduating from the course, you will add to Malaysia’s bank of trained O&G personnel, as rumour has it most people leave after getting all knowledge they can, and as soon as they realise more money can be got elsewhere, though I suspect the current eco situation might put a damper in that plan. Apply  here, or snail mail to Recruitment, Human Resources, Level 17, Menara ExxonMobil, 50088 KLCC, KL.
  • Optimal (tagline Optimise your Career Potential) is looking for a Test & Inspection Engineer. Visit their website, or apply here.
  • RasGas is looking for field operators. CVs to be submitted here. You can phone the local recruiters at +603 2078 1918. I believe RasGas is a JV, one of the partners being ExxonMobil.

Sigh, since I have moved with Synergy out of KL, will you patronise Chee Meng in my memory? I’ll probably be there next Wednesday.

Saturday Star 2009-01-24 – Job Opportunities

January 27, 2009

Another week, another scan of the Saturday Star newspaper. Here’s a list of job ads in the paper:

  • Synergy Oil and Gas Engineering is recruiting fresh chemical engineering graduates, or those with around 1 year experience. CVs may be sent to enquiry@synergykl.com.my. It’s also looking for admin execs who can run the invoicing / payroll / accounting as well as be office managers. Come visit us at W-07-01, Subang Square Business Park, Jalan 15/4G, Subang.
  • SGS is looking for a Sampling / PVT engineer, flow assurance engineer (hey, I’m breaking into that market!) and new chem engineers. Send emails to sgs.malaysia@sgs.com, or snail mail to The Human Resources and Admin Division SGS (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd, Unit 10-1, 10th Floor, Bangunan Malaysian Re, No. 17, Lorong Dungun, Damansara Heigths, 50490 KL. Most people confuse SGS with Shell Global Solutions. Not me, I go the other way round. I’ve met SGS before under the guise of their meter certification program. As for being a PVT engineer, my sources tell me that if you have to characterise a hydrocarbon, be prepared to spend a week+ matching the compositional breakdown with the PVT data.
  • Petrofac is looking for a deputy production manager. Sounds like an EMEPMI facilities engineer to me, though I hope the pay is better. Email to vacancy.kl@petrofac.com, or snail mail to Human Resource Department Petrofac (Malaysia-PM304) Limited, Leavel 50, Tower 2, PETRONAS Twin Towers, 50088 KL.
  • Esso is looking for Service Station Dealers. Contact them at Retail Area Manager (Dealership Application) Level 13, Menara ExxonMobil, KLCC, 50088 KL. I’ve never been on Level 13 myself, me being an upstream man and all.

And it’s a short week. If you are interested in finding out what Synergy can do for you, send me a note on this blog entry.

Why don’t companies put a link to their web pages in the papers? Hey, I’m doing you guys a service here, throw some money my way, or I’ll sic Jabba on you.

Sigh, since I have moved with Synergy out of KL, will you patronise Chee Meng in my memory? Or invite me to meetings around Bukit Bintang at lunchtime?
