Support me by purchasing my recommendations, or buying through my Amazon store.

I recently discovered tha Kinokunya KLCC has a whole rack dedicated to oil & gas topics. ‘Course, I would prefer if you bought the above selection from my site, but I value your continued education more than profit. Actually, I prefer it the other way round, so purchase stuff from me.

This selection focuses on the non-engineers among you. Try out Oil & Gas Production in Nontechnical Language, The Petroleum Industry: A Nontechnical Guide, and Petroleum Refining in Nontechnical Language, Fourth Edition. I haven’t used these books before, but they seem quite good.

From O&G Journal – ExxonMobil to boost Tapis field production in Malaysia

June 15, 2010

I understand that the Tapis EOR CPP ITB was sent out to all parties listed under the appropriate PETRONAS SWAC code, as there wasn’t any pre-screening performed. That meant that some parties were invited to bid for a project whose bank guarantee amount was similar to their yearly income.

Taken from the Oil & Gas Journal, dateline 2010-06-10:

 ExxonMobil to boost Tapis field production in Malaysia

Eric Watkins, OGJ Oil Diplomacy Editor

LOS ANGELES, June 10 — ExxonMobil Corp. said its enhanced oil recovery project at Malaysia’s Tapis field will start in 2013, with an estimated gross investment of more than $1 billion, according to a senior company executive.

“This latest contract includes commitments to implement an enhanced oil recovery project at the Tapis field and will be the first ever large-scale project of its kind in Malaysia,” said ExxonMobil senior vice-president Andrew Swiger.

“The Tapis project represents yet another major step forward to develop Malaysia’s full energy potential,” Swiger told the Asia Oil & Gas Conference.

Tapis field is one of seven mature offshore fields that ExxonMobil (78%) and state-owned Petronas (22%) have agreed to develop as part of a 25-year production-sharing contract that was finalized in June 2009.

Under the agreement, which includes provisions for the deployment of EOR and further drilling to boost output, work will be carried out on all seven fields, including Seligi, Guntong, Tapis, Semangkok, Irong Barat, Tebu, and Palas.

The Tapis oil development, which lies 190 km off Terengganu in 64 m of water, produces an extra-light, low-sulfur crude, and once served as the benchmark for pricing oil cargoes in Australia, Indonesia, and Vietnam.

From The Star: Exxon and Coca-Cola to invest in Malaysia

November 28, 2009

Dateline 2009-11-14:

SINGAPORE: Two American companies are expected to make substantial investments in the local beverage and gas sectors soon.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said petroleum firm ExxonMobil Corporation had expressed its intention to venture into high CO2 content gas extraction while beverage giant Coca-Cola wanted to build a new modern plant in Malaysia.

Hah, here’s a funny one. ExxonMobil will be extracting CO2. Coca-Cola products are carbonated, which means they require a CO2 source in the future. What is that upcoming CO2 extraction source, I wonder?

I predict the next Coca-Cola plant will be in Kertih. What say you? “Beverage and gas sectors’ indeed.

BTW, I’ll be in Miri next week. Any more eating place suggestions?

For those who got the grant, congratulations.

  • 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.

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.
