This has nothing to do with breach of contract, since it was offered to the guy as a one year renewable contract. Its not like he can disregard the contract and keep working in the company after his contract period, i would very much like to see what happens next.

The work permit which they would have to apply to work in singapore is usually valid for 2 years so it would be a waste for the company to hire him for only a period of one year and cut him loose unless they have serious financial issues.

oh... i c..like that act.

Mostly like he will be employed for 2 years unless he seriously under performs or ticked off one of his superiors who would recommend management to terminate his contract after the initial year due to singapore work permit system which is valid for 2 years.

Yes.

Good luck if you choose working for shell over there. It was rather unexpected when bukom went up in flames a a little over a year ago. Be mindful of the safety orientation courses and note down who to contact in case of an emergency and the mustering point and its secondaries just in case.

if u prefer handson job, then go for BH. u have to start from zero which is from the contractor side then the next step is CLIENT. anyway im in baker labuan. see u there.

fuuu very high waves and strong winds.but operation continued while was at angsi.

Read that the waves for this week can go up to 4.5 metres (14 feet). Stay safe!

it was about 6 meter when i was on the 3rd day of my job there.kinda glad we've finished every thing off by 22nd and back on solid ground . i heard it was got worst today.

Yikes, I remembered well sitting on a semi-sub for one exploration well. It was not fun when the anchor snaps due to high waves ... the booming sound when the anchor snaps kept us awake. Not to mentioned that we have explosives on board for the completion job .... now in nice office looking at my static models heh heh heh.

Walawei.. The anchor also can snaps ahh??..

Sorry, how to say this, the anchor tak putus but as the waves were very high, the semi-sub moves about, so as it rides the waves, the anchor on the opposite side becomes taut while the anchor on the wave face becomes slack, and then the semi-sub came back into position and boooomm, the anchor yang slack tadi became super tegang one .... and releases a lot of energy ...

Broken anchor wires for workbarge is quite common. Few months back, there is one barge (cannot mention the name) parted four of his anchor wires during bad weather.

fuhh thats how powerful mother nature is.before joining ong i had a short stint in company whom provides the anchors and its cables and boy those wireropes are strong but mother nature beats emm all

eventhough it doesn't snap, sometime it can drag-off the pipeline from it original position. like the one we have here in Peninsula.

I was wondering which insurance company would take the risk of covering Pet's staff in 'high-risk zones' like Iraq.

No one bro, I was wondering why staff accept to do work at Iraq even the risk is very high.

I would assume that the insurance will be covered by the Group Insurance Policy (meaning, it's covered by Petronas itself). As for the risk, the main office for the subsurface and corporate planning is in Dubai, yes they will have to go and meet with the Iragi authority about once a month but they do hire private security company to handle all the security logistics. The people who are exposed most to the risks are those who have to be at the operation site (drilling etc etc) and they get paid big money. I believe it is also getting safer now in Iraq, haven't heard of any major security incidences in a while.

No secure in Iraq, this area is very high risk. All countries now fighting for this 1 million barrel oil per day. China,Japan,Korea also now enter to this area. Of course the high risk come with good paid.

Need to make own and right choose if eager to working at Iraq field.

4 to 6 meters of waves ehh?
I was in a site survey boat for a week in sarawak, 2m waves, I muntah the whole week. Really have a weak stomach.
