can venture to corporate oso...hehe

are you getting offer from one of them? or intend to jump to one of them?

(^___^)

Depend on what type of inspection you want to do...for bottom plate, on-stream people nowadays use AET (Acoustic Emission Test) to determine thickness of it. If you down the tank, use MFL (Magnetic Flux Leakage). For roof deck, shell plate, u can use UTTM crawler etc. Usually people take API max requirement, 20 years. 5 years interval is good for data collection, but again if you calculate remaining life base on first reading, you can determine period of time to re-check the value and also RBI must be included inside the report. If you got budget, then can do even annually, hahaha. All these testing are expensive, you can get quotation from Rosen, SGS, Testex etc. You also can hire API 653 certified inspector to inspect your tank.

Note : All above mentioned testing usually to check thickness. For crack, leaks etc. you need to see what type of crack you want to inspect, if product tank, easily you can detect with you naked eye even minor crack as it will sip through easily. You can use vacuum box test, helium gas test + sniffer, or Snoop Leak Detector (u can use normal soap + water). Or hydrotest. Check suitability of them to your case.

API 650 & API 653 good for reading and also whatever quote by ch_teo

(^__^)

see the vacancy advertise at their website...plus you can subscribe to jobalert ( as I find this often post vacancies especially for OnG industry)

(^__^)

Don't worry, rezeki is not totally depend from which uni you came from. Just try harder, btw, I'm from UiTM. Some of my working colleague also from UiTM. I got my friend working with McDermott (he waited almost a year for OnG till he got offer from them), MMHE, etc. One of ex my current place just got Ir and jump into Petronas early last year. He also from UiTM. Another just got offer from Carigali HESS.

Note : Sometimes is not necessary for you to work in OnG field but you can excel in other place, better than those working with OnG. Think positively.

This discussion about baby boomers vs Gen-X vs Gen-Y also happened at my place. But then, I quite agree with klein, some of Gen-Y "thinking too highly of themselves". Nowadays, "jump ship" is normal but most Gen-X cannot accept this as their prone to work at same workplace till retired (if the workplace provide you with good benefits).

(^__^)

Haha, that's what we called Gen-Y...not sure if another gen will come out after this, hehe

(^__^)

You are right...for moment, just leave it to investigation team..

Light sweet, sweet (less H2S), sour crude (high H2S), but nowadays a lot of wells come with sour crude, Tapis is one of the best. Cakerawala, Condy, Kikeh, Kidurong, bla bla bla....

Note : I heard TCOT now down for maintenance, is it?

Usually sweet crude, or light sweet is expensive compare to sour due to lower H2S and CO2. It's easy to process compare to sour where your need additional equipment to process it. Crude price usually use this sweet or light sweet as benchmark like Brent, WTI, Tapis etc. Yet, not many this type of crude in the world. Sum more, the fuel is cleaner as the content of H2S inside it very low at the beginning stage. Yet different crude has different ability to produce certain content. This one process guy or crude expert will evaluate it base on profit margin before they purchase it.
