Industry sources in Malaysia confirmed that Petronas halted discussions early February regarding unitisation and joint collaboration on several upstream projects straddling the maritime boundary, or that are located in Blocks CA-1 and CA-2 in the demarcated Malaysia Brunei Commercial Arrangement Area (CAA).

Malaysia’s Petronas and Total of France have signed a heads of agreement to jointly study the development and production of a high carbon dioxide gas field offshore Sarawak in eastern Malaysia, the state-owned oil and gas company said Wednesday.
The K5 gas field, discovered in 1970, is a sour gas field with an up to 70% carbon dioxide content.

Saturday Star 2011-12-10 – Job Opportunities

December 12, 2011

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.
  • Oh, PETRONAS is looking for RAPID candidates. Visit http://www.discoverpetronas.com.
  • Total is looking for an HSE engineer, night drilling supervisor. Send your CV  here, or visit here.

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!” The more you use it, the better info I get in planning my journey round KL, and hopefully the rest of Malaysia

If you are fans of classic gaming, support those old time PC classics at Good Oil Games. I wish they had a local setup here. And they just started their Xmas 50% off drive!

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 recommendation is anything strawberrish from Cameron Highlands. And that’s why this weeks posting is late.

Saturday Star 2009-06-27 – Job Opportunities

June 29, 2009

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

  • First off, Synergy is looking for 5 lead safety engineers and 3 lead process engineers. Visit the Synergy website for contact details. And safety specialists. Ah, heck. If you have more than 5 years experience in O&G, apply. If you have less than 5, send a donation to the offshore account, and still get abuse.
  • Nippon Oil Exploration (lovingly known as NOEX) is looking for a contract engineer and project engineer. If you want to apply, snail mail to Human Resource Section NIPPON OIL EXPLORATION (MALAYSIA) LTD., Lot 116B, 3rd Floor, Wisma Interhill, Miri Waterfront Commercial Centre, 98000 Miri, Sarawak.
  • Total is looking for a Sales Engineer (Industrial). Send details to hr@totaloil.com.my

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? Is he doing packet specials?

Maybe I should change loyalty to Pakeeza, which is a bit closer to the office.
