I'm involved in Shell Perlude, no doubt about it.
Couldn't find any news about petronas FLNG, not even the field name.. Only the estimated first production date which is 2015..

we completed fdp for one field that will be the 1st flng field in malaysia last year. So i guess its true.

Just applied for Lean Practitioner at Shell Eastern Petroleum (PTE) Ltd Pulau Bukom. Hopefully can get an interview coz its relevant to my current job. My 1st step into O n G.

Nope. Just that this project pop up during my lunch today and heard some funny stories. by Noruazmi..

ONGC has ordered FPSO.. ONGC is from India... what funny stories, mind to share?

Wow! How to apply bro? Dont wanna share with me

Petronas says its floating LNG plant could be first to market

Really? Is it a norm for O&G? I have applied before to Exxonmobil, I applied and got called for interview the next day. But I didn't get the job.

So, now trying again but for different position. I saw the status received. But until now, na-da. or are they waiting for more applicants?

got this reply from a shell representative regarding the shell job vacancies on previous O&G thread

any ideas on which company to intern in that gives real good experience? =D Currently studying Chemical Engineering fyi.

how bout OPE(Malaysia) Oil and gas?

How is the career path for cementing engineer?Anyone experienced Oil and Gas senior mind to share about this job? How well is the pay of cementing guys? Offshore day rate?

Congrats on V3. Just got back from the empty quarter visiting the Dunes is Shaybah. Was there for a photography trip. Too tired to do anything else at the moment.

FLNG for the stranded gas in Sabah ... was involved in some of the reserves assessments for this stranded gas fields before .... seems like there are a lot of activities in Malaysia nowadays which is always good.

Petronas sees growth slowdown until 2014

anyone went/going to Keppel walk in interview at Times Square? it's today and tomorrow.

Today? What time ya?

Bro details for the walk in interview today..thx

I also waiting for some one to answer it la bro.

Keppel Offshore & Marine Jobs Vacancies 2012 in Singapore

That's because of Murphy's screw up in Kikeh and the 4 year delay in getting Gumusut on-line.

Just come back from Keppel interview. Just ask me basic question. about my self, hobby. Feel like useless..

There will be second interview in SG one, just wait another 2 week, if they want you they will contact you soon, Keppel HR super efficient.

Had the same experience as u, dude. Didn't even give me a chance to ask any questions. I travelled quite far some more. I took a sneak peek at the interviewer's form and saw some numbers being circled. Ranges from 1-4 but don't know which one is good, which one is bad..lol

ooo.. i m going tomolo. how long does it takes?

Any tips?

Key word is Result Oriented, Show them how result oriented you are. you could save the self introduction part.

Result oriented. Good one. how to show like i am result oriented ah.. haha..

anyway just give it a shot...

im wondering the same ...maybe they are looking for experianced heads+the cream and crops.

need some advice.

i am final year student in electronic engineering.. coming oktober my graduation day.. just want know.. can i go to oil & gas company. which 1 suitable for me?? dont have any experience and i from sarawak.

First, do your own research.

Second, learn to write English properly.

Of cos you can go Oil & Gas company, the question lies on whether they want to hire you or not ? you can always snail mail to all the oil & gas company in miri, bintulu. Ngap Sayot.

Any guys experience with Halliburton Cementing? How's the working environment and career progression??

Hi guys..I need advice here..

I got a offer job as a Pipeline Engineer(downstream) from a EPCC company doing pipeline industry specialist in HDD for Gas Malaysia (Petronas) and I am a fresh graduate from UM in Chemical Engineering.My questions are

1)Can I go for upstream industry after I gain experiences here?maybe about 2 years,then I plan to go for a bigger company n doing upstream jobs.

2)Or I just reject their offer and wait for upstream jobs offer which Im not sure when I will get the interview/jobs?

any geologist n well tester here? i've got some questions regarding on the problems that i'm currently face in my fdp project

This post has been edited by hj.pet: Mar 10 2012, 09:07 AM

Im a geologist.
By the way my going rate will be rm200 per answer

wow, man, u're earning USD still wanna charge service ah... haha.

Hi anyone here worked in OMS before? Got called for interview for Production Executive at Labuan. Wanna ask about the salary package there 1st so that I have some preparation made.

Never mind..give me that job..

What is the problem ... I'm a geologist too but I charge in GBP heh heh heh heh .... just kidding, go ahead and ask

Why would you want to reject the offer? Go ahead and join the company that is offering you the job but at the same time keep your eyes open for other opportunities. A man with a working experience no matter where the experience is is always better than a fresh grad without one. It's not just the degree the employers are looking at, they will also want to know if you can work in the first place and having a job give you an advantage because obviously you can work.

Thanks for your opinions,I'll go for it!

UGPM Sir

+1. They dont seems to be interested in the candidates. Maybe they are looking for someone really good. well at least resume deopstied

This post has been edited by moonhowler: Mar 10 2012, 06:33 PM

oh yeah. i totally forgot about ICDeadPeople & azraeil, geologist otai in lyn. heheh. btw i would like to ask, is it possible to determine the oil gas contact and water oil contact just by looking at the seismic data? correct me if i'm wrong but i dont think it's possible rite.

the problem rite now is that my group was given a numbers of seismic map, depth structure map and mdt-gr log data from well test. without any log data, is it possible for us to proceed with our fdp? after some discussion, we are having big trouble even to come out with the cross sectional view of the map without any of the log data since we don't know the formation type of our field. with the number of faults available, (24 to be exact) it seems very difficult to develop the cross sectional view.

one more thing, is it possible to drill on the fault?

can i pay using debit card? hahaha anyway thanks in advance!

This post has been edited by hj.pet: Mar 10 2012, 07:23 PM

1. Is it possible to determine the OWC from Seismic data

Answer: yes, usually if the contact can be clearly seen (if you are lucky), it will be a flat spot on the seismic line which is indicative of presence of hydrocarbon. Bear in mind that the seismic vertical resolution is nowhere near as good as log data, you will have an uncertainty range of +- 30 metres.

How often can you see the contact from seismic? - Not very often. In fact, I would surmise, very rarely. Only if you are in the right place at the right time maybe (proper geometry during seismic acquisition etc)

2. It will be almost impossible to come up with an FDP without Log Data. Why was the data not given to you? I would understand if you guys are doing a data review with other companies, but if you are supposed to come up with an FDP, then you need all the data you can get.

3. Is it possible to drill into the fault?

Answer: Of course you can .... BUT people try to avoid the fault for a lot of reason. In Malaysia especially with the silt content, most faults will probably be a sealing fault (not always, maybe a 50-50 chance) but if the fault is sealing, the pressure on the hanging wall (if it's a normal fault) may be different from the footwall of the fault. In a lot of cases, you try to avoid it because different pressure regime in different fault blocks will cause all sort of drilling headaches as the well is drilled with specific mud weight at specific reservoir and pressure regime, so if you cross the fault into a different pressure regime, you can get worse case scenario, the BP Deepwater Fiasco. Now you don't want to do that right

Im going to add points to what mr azreail said. But to answer your most important qs, no, i dont accept debit card
You can theoritically can see contacts in seismic, which what they call dhi (direct hydrocarbon indicator). Probelm with dhi is you cant tell what kind of fluid you encounter, is it owc, gwc, goc. Infact even a soluble gas in the water can give you a booming amplitude which can be mistaken as hydrocarbon. And as what azraeil said, it quite rare to find this dhi, especially the one you are confident with. You need significant thick clean sand, with multi darcy permeability. Infact i only remember seing one good dhi in my experience doin fdp.
From what you said you got mdt-gr data from well test. I assume there you know the fluid (mdt), possible contact (also mdt), and possible type of reservoir and its quality (gr).
So thereotically you can generate fluid distribution map on your depth map (using estimated contact from mdt). I think you should be able to build x-section map from this, even with 24 faults.

I'm the last person they interview beside a lady from SBM (my junior at college)..

The interview gone well..

Three main questions have been asked as follow:
1) Why you want to join Keppel Shipyard? I'm quite surprised when the interviewer elaborate more with 'why you want to join us, because your company's benefit is better than us'.
However, Interviewer noted Career Advancement as per my expectation...

2) What is your strength? Interviewer noted 'Well organize' as per expectation..

3) What is your weakness? Interviewer wrote down 'No weakness'..

She gave me an opportunity to ask question:
1) Will they conduct 2nd interview, when? Yes, for shortlisted candidate. Within 2-3 weeks.
2) Which Keppel Group of companies are hiring? Keppel Fels and Keppel Shipyard...

She asked justification of my salary.. She accepted my explanation...

Conclusion: standard screening type of interview..

Min volumetric for fdp would be using lowest proven hc...

wow and hope you are successful and moving to keppel mind giving me your old company hr email i nak apply plak(of course on a grad postion la haha )

would a oil and gas company accept a fresh graduate with low cgpa? please share

Yes, keep on trying, but start with a small company

thanks for the hope. small company is it? now how can i find a small company if most of them doesnt seem to have a website

Pm me your email

Wah Bro..want to enjoy their 10months bonus ka?
I guess it wont be hard you to secure the position as you already in project with them right?
Good Luck Bro..I wonder who is the lady from SBM? huhuhu...

This post has been edited by meonkutu11: Mar 11 2012, 09:17 AM

so u r saying dat the best way to determine the OGC n WOC is by log data rite?

actually, the field was given to us for our final sem project. other groups have been given with tonnes of log data but not us. i guess, it's impossible for us to come out with the FDP with zero log data. to make things worst, the MDT-GR data were given to us was only from 1 wildcat well while we have about 12 wildcat wells in the map. i guess there's no way for us to determine the type of formation, the type of reservoir, the formation pressure, etc since we can't correlate those 12 wildcat wells right?

owh, that's a new info for me knowing dat the footwall n the roofwall of the fault are different in pressure. i wish i can show u the complication that we are facing right now with the numbers of the fault available in our field it seems impossible for us to drill if we are going to avoid all the fault at all. let say if we want to drill on the fault, the only thing that we can do is to change the mud weight everytime we drill along it, right?

hahahaha can i use wang pos then?

the biggest problem for us is that the MDT-GR data that we have is only from 1 well. please correct me if i'm wrong but i don't think it's possible to generate a fluid distribution map only by referring to 1 wildcat well data.

seriously, we really don't know what to do next. i think we'll ask to change the field coz it seems impossible to come out with a FDP with these type of datas

If all else fails use these methods.

Since you have information from one well, then at minimum you have to assume

1. Any hydrocarbon encountered by the well (from MDT data) will only be limited to the fault blocks that it is drilled. All other blocks cannot be counted in the volume calculation. This will be your proved in place/reserve for FDP purposes.

2. I thought you should be able to come up with the OWC/GOC from the MDT datasets? You should have the oil pressure sample and if you're lucky the gas pressure sample from the MDT and using the hydrostatic pressure, you should be able to come up with the OWC/GOC (if you have the gas pressure sample) right? If you can do that, then your proved fluid limit will be based on the MDT

You can do a Proved + Probable volumes based on your assumption that some of the fault blocks are not sealing and that from the GR datasets, you should be able to tell what kind of environment you're in, channel sands, shoreface, etc and you can then assume how widely distributed the sand is ... if it is a channel system complex, use a modern analog to come up with the distribution of the channel complex. Usually based on the thickness of the channel complex, you should be able to come up with a reasonable width of the complex (i.e if the channel sand is 30 metres then, the channle complex can be 1-2km in width etc.) from there, you can estimate the proved + probable assume that the faults are not sealing for areas where there are channel sands.

If the GR indicates that it's a shoreface system, then you need to determine where you believe the source of deposition is and where the direction of the beach is, based on that you can then estimate the width of the shoreface and how long the beach is going to be, use an analog like Pantai Cinta Berahi or Desaru or whatever you like. From there, you can determine the proved + probable.

For maximum case, treat the field as a homogeneous reservoir. If the sand is 30 meters thick, assume the whole field has the same sand thickness and go from there.

That is why we never develop a field based on one well, that's just insane because the risk and uncertainty is so high ...

That is why Geologist is important as well

Keppel 2011 bonus is about 8 Months..

thanks for the quite complicated but very helpful answers!

so should i eliminate all the fault blocks that doesn't come with any well data in my FDP calculation? is it possible to treat the whole field as homogeneous since there are 2 big faults that separates the block 1 (the one that comes with MDT-GR) data from the other block? another problem that we have is that the GR data only covers from 1500 - 1600 m depth for that specific well. (the total depth of that well is about 2000 m depth)can we determine the whole formation type if we weren't given a complete set of GR data if it was the case?

since u say that it's insane to develop a field only based on one MDT-GR data, i think the best option that i have right now is to change the field right? i'm not going to present our findings and plans with so many uncertainties and risk. we'll be dead during the presentation answering all the questions from the industrial representative examiners

owh totally agree with ur statement on the importance of a geologist. in fact, i'm more interested to be a petrophysicist compared to reservoir eng, drilling, etc the project would be totally f*#ked up if both geologist and petrophysicist couldn't do their job properly!

For volume calculation, you do 3 things

1. Proved reserves/in place, you just calculate the volume in the block with the well data
2. Proved + Probable - Both blocks is calculated
3. Proved + Probable + Possible - Homogenous reservoirs covering all blocks

As for the GR, you need to see how the data coverage of the well (i.e 1500 - 1600) corresponds to the reservoir section based on the maps. I have a suspicion that the GR covers the reservoir section so it should be okay. If it does not cover the reservoir section, then you can go to your professor and say F**k you in his face. He obviously have no frakkin clue about doing an FDP then.

I think, what the prof or industry rep wants to see is how you handle this situation with the limited data that they gave you. There will be time when you do a data review where you will only have really limited data. I have a strong suspicion that they want to hear how you quantify and assess the risks and uncertainty in developing the field.

It is always easy to do a project based on lots of data, the challenge in the industry is coming up with plans (which has taken into account the risks and uncertainty) when you don't have the luxury of those datasets.

Your call.

Bro UGPM!

are you guys in this thread have a high cgpa?

High CGPAers are reading books right now..hahaha. no time for foruming.

Why?

Congratulations! EPCC company is good. You can get your hands dirty during commissioning.

woah...sure ha?
how low is still considerable? ehehhe

because two of my friends got the job easily in oil and gas. they certainly have pointer above 3.0. btw we sent resume together. maybe their filter someone who has better academic and my resume is not attract the HR

Normally thats the case in Malaysia. Good result means higher chance to secure an interview but not the job. To determine whether you will get the job or not depends on your interview.

But companies like SLB do consider people with lower cgpa(as in second class upper/lower) to attend their interview/assessment. They really love people who are street smart and able to handle pressure.

And yes, results do play a big role in landing your first job as you dont have any working experience.
