20 hours is crazy.

Longest for me was 14-15 hours. Worst part is we were all sleeping on the deck at night, and the afternoon heat, too many of us to have shelter. Got really tanned.


when?

Helicopter crash lands in North Sea,19 people rescued: British coast guard

A helicopter ferrying workers from an offshore oil rig crash landed in the North Sea on Monday, British coast guards said, adding that all 19 people aboard had been rescued.

The Maritime and Coastguard Agency said in a statement that the Super Puma aircraft went down on its way back from a Total SA-operated rig about 50 kilometres southwest of the Shetland Islands, a Scottish archipelago deep in the North Sea. The CHC Helicopter Corp.-operated aircraft was still floating on the surface of the water when all its 19 occupants were picked up from their life raft and brought aboard a nearby tanker, the coast guards, said.
They were later flown to the Orkney Islands, a little further south.
Energy companies regularly use helicopters to move their workers to and from the offshore platforms that dot the North Sea, a vast and often unsettled body of water which lies between Britain and Scandinavia. Safety has long been a concern and Super Puma aircraft have come under particular scrutiny following a series of accidents and near-misses.

Earlier this year, air operator Bond Aviation Group suspended some of its flights after a Super Puma crash landed in the North Sea. In April 2009, 16 people died when a Super Puma en route to the Scottish city of Aberdeen plunged into the sea when its gearbox failed. Only months before, another Super Puma had gone down over the North Sea — although in that case 18 people were rescued with only minor injuries.
Scotland’s First Minister Alex Salmond said in a statement that the latest incident raised “understandable concerns” which he hoped would be cleared up by an investigation.

Union official Jake Molloy echoed the statement.

“We need to provide assurances — not just to the workers but to their families — that the primary means of transporting them to and from work is safe,” he said.

Jack up rig tilts at Jurong Shipyard...Can anyone share what is the exact cause of this incident?

www.upstreamonline.com/live/article1300047.ece

"The accident occurred Monday morning when one of the three legs of a jack-up rig failed, causing the rig to tilt to one side."

One leg has 3 jacking houses on each chord...Is the statement means that all jacking gears on that leg failed?...

For about one to two months, I am on training to replacing PM/IM for Rainbow(that's what my PM said not sure he is playing me or he is really want to test me). I been into DiGi IM and PM meeting, either daily or weekly.

For O&G, I do not really have any ideas for Telco. I am a quick learner and adaptable to environment and situation. I really would like to go to O&G for career change to a bigger and wider platform to grow my self. It's very appreciated if anyone can help.

anyone ever heard of
"Master Data Management Engineer" ??

It seems that you have been doing project management. There are positions such as project engineer, planner and coordinator. You can give them a try should there are vacancies. I am not sure if there is a project engineer for telecom packages.

BTW, for project engineer/planner/coordinator, software knowledge like P6 or MS Project is highly required.

Hi, im going for 3rd round interview for Halliburton data management consultant (drilling and completion department) soon. This position will require me to travel to china..india n other SEA country heavily. If they ask for my expected salary...i really dont know how much is the range.. Need advice pls.. Below some additional info

-currently an intern at petronas carigali (graduating in 3 months)
-diploma in mechanical engineering(utem)
-degree in computer science(network engineering)(utem) cgpa-3.5
- have CCNA

please advise ...thank you in advance!

I wonder how hard is it to enter?

I wish to apply for the accounts department in Petronas and Exxon

Seriously, there is no difference if you are in the accounts department of any other company as opposed to an Oil & Gas company.

that is the challenge for them.. is that better if they join big 4?

people always think want to join o&g. but they forget rewards will only fruitful after correct posting of job scopes match with correct niche skills & experience.
the same apply to some telecommunications background personnels.

last weekend, i went to attend a course conducted by a speaker from Engineer turned lecturer who worked in Ministry of Finance serving Tun M many years back. He was able to involve in Telekom projects and mentioned Telekom is one of the best to work with and things are changing for better.
