This is a shout out for the IEM. My Technical Division will be hosting a talk on the 6th November, 2012. It’ll be at 5:30 pm (makan-makan at 5:00). There’s an elevator at Wisma IEM, so no excuses.
The Oil and Gas Industry has a huge range of activities from exploration, extraction and production, processing and manufacturing of hydrocarbons.
The potential for corrosion to occur exists at all these stages as long as metallic materials are used. Corrosion if left unchecked can lead to disastrous failures that can cause huge impact to loss of production, damage to facilities and environment, and safety of personnel and the public. The key issues relating to HSSE, Cost, Integrity and Quality for an effective and successful prevention of corrosion are discussed in this presentation.
At the end of this presentation, the attendees should be aware of different corrosion processes in the different areas of activities, how design decisions are made to control predicted corrosion, and the keys to corrosion management during operations and production.
Puan Hjh Maimunah Ismail joined Lloyds Register Technical Services on 1st October, 2012. She is now holding the roles of Asset Integrity Manager and Lead Specialist and based at Tan & Tan building at Jalan Tun Razak, Kuala Lumpur.
Prior to this she worked with Shell companies for 30+years. Prior to her retirement on 31st August, 2012, she was the General/Regional Manager of Materials, Mechanical and Inspection Engineering of Shell Project and Technology and also the Senior Principal Consultant.
She has been to various Shell operating companies from US, Europe, Africa and Asia, with early training in Shell Houston, US and an assignment in Shell Gabon, West Africa.

The Oil, Gas and Mining Technical Division of the IEM hosted a one day ‘Drilling Engineering Overview’ seminar on August 5, 2009. It was conducted by Mr. Abdul Razak Yakob and held at the Wisma IEM, attracting 21 participants.
Razak started out with an icebreaking session with the participants, enquiring as to their backgrounds and what the participants wanted to get out of the course.
He then kicked off his seminar with an overall background to the topic. He described the differences between onshore and offshore drilling, and presented photos of various drilling rigs available in the market. He introduced the rig management structure, showing a slide summarizing the various personnel manning the drilling operations.
Razak then discussed the different mechanical parts that make up the drilling equipment, whether on the rig floor or the support peripherals. Among the different equipment that were described was the Christmas tree, drill bit, drilling fluids, casing and cementing. An introduction to interpretation of logging results formed a part of the seminar, giving the participants a taste of analyzing well data. To provide some feel as to the information technology involved in drilling, the software suites used for data management, engineering and facilities integration was shown.
He then moved on to describe the well life cycle stages, which is construction, implementation, analysis and improvement.
Razak introduced the participants to the economical side of the operations, showing some shocking numbers. He then scared the living daylights out of us by providing some insight into the hazards associated with drilling.
Directional drilling was the next topic of the day.
A quick overview of drilling analysis was provided. Participants were reminded of their undergraduate statics courses, where force balances, and torque plays an important part of the analysis.
Casing design was touched upon. This section covered the types of casing integrated into a well, and design considerations. The importance of a correct cement job was discussed, as well as the analytical tests to ensure the cement has the correct properties for the job.
Last but not least was more detail into the drilling fluids, and the required properties for different types of jobs.
The participants were from a mix, covering well grounded engineers who wanted to network and share experiences, to water wellbore engineers looking to see how different types of drilling technologies may be applicable to similar circumstances. And it is always a delight to see Razak in full flow.

My tiny sphere of influence in the IEM, the Oil, Gas and Mining Technical Division (OGMTD), is running a drilling seminar this Saturday morning (26th July, 2008). The seminar will be held at the Crystal Crown hotel, on Jalan Utara in PJ, from 9 to 1 pm. Costs are IEM members: RM200.00, non-members: 300.00
The registration form is available here. This is a draft outline of the course.
For further details, please contact Jamaliah ( 03-7968 4012 ) or Norimah ( 03-7968 4010 ) at the Institute for seats, or contact the Secretriat at sec@iem.org.my.
Come one, come all, so I can get some brownie points!
