If you were wondering where the oil & gas industry stores floaters in the off season, wonder no more.
These were the entries to the UTP OGCE competition, and they were from secondary schools. Us jaded old timers could do well to learn from the young ‘uns. Give some love to your local school, whether monetary, time or engaging the minds of that generation.

I was honoured to be appointed a Judge during the event (Stallone voice now, “I AM DELAW!“).
I was a Judge for the Paper competition. Some interesting ideas cropped up during the presentation.

The IEM was fortunate that we visited the UTP labs. Here are a couple of videos of floating structure models being tested. The videos were taken from the side of the wave tank.

My technical division is organising a trip to the wilds of Tronoh on the 24th April, 2015. It’s worth 4.5 CPD points. Go.
The Centre of Research in EOR was established in Universiti Teknologi Petronas (UTP) in year 2006 to promote excellence in EOR research that mostly addresses the needs of industry and to manage laboratory services. Research in the area has continuously expanded at UTP since 2006. Most EOR research projects are conducted by the petroleum engineering staff and the topics are mostly conventional topics such as subsurface fluid flow, rock fluid interactions etc. In addition, there is an increasing interest from non-petroleum engineering researching EOR chemicals, application of waves, advanced materials among others.

I was honoured with the opportunity to present to UTP undergraduates. I hoped they weren’t too scarred from the experience. And thank you for allowing me to create the ‘cold, lonely transmitter’ scenario on the spot.

This is a shout out for the IEM. My technical division will be hosting a trip to Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS, Bandar Seri Iskandar, 31750 Tronoh, Perak Darul Ridzuan on the 23rd October, 2014. You will be anointed with 4 CPD / PDP hours.
BACKGROUND
The depleting natural resources and increasing challenges in exploring new oil field has saw the importance of Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) in oil production industry. EOR has been recognized by the Malaysian Government as one of the focus area in Oil & Gas NKEA in year 2011.
The Centre of Research in EOR was established in Universiti Teknologi Petronas (UTP) in year 2006 to promote excellence in EOR research that mostly addresses the needs of industry and to manage laboratory services. Research in the area has continuously expanded at UTP since 2006. Most EOR research projects are conducted by the petroleum engineering staff and the topics are mostly conventional topics such as subsurface fluid flow, rock fluid interactions etc. In addition, there is an increasing interest from non-petroleum engineering researching EOR chemicals, application of waves, advanced materials among others.
