good one from u ICDeadPeople!

i mentioned some time ago, lot of people wanna join o&g (with the mindset don mind the low $ with burdened of jobs. or maybe the mindset already with lot $ in the mind), but never self-evaluated physically & mentally capable or not.
talk is one thing, action is another thing.

get Celcom.

sometimes, near south china sea when using maxis speaking with someone, one can listen "voice..no voice...voice...no voice..." from your speaker for the conversation. so most of the times, i will switch to my another phone using celcom when at labuan. so far stationed at there long time ago 3 months using celcom data plan very good transfer rate especially midnight. just hope no raining. if raining, the signage may not good.
celcom the best choice for among the 3 telcos at labuan in term of coverage at present.

keep trying and harder.

ang moh who is ex-soldier in middle east can become third party inspector without knowing the specifications . come to m'sia to eat certain portion of our citizen's rice bowl.

for product example OCTG, most of the time using Solidworks/Pro E. as long as one has the basics of cad/cam, any softs can be mastered with self initiative. autocad also got for product design but lesser.
for structures/skid modules/piping, i have no idea.

i only learnt catia & unigraphic during in uni. autocad self-learning.

welcome.
in OCTG.

from mechanical engineer/site inspector turn operations project engineer then turn into qhse project engineer.

once in a while for short period days or weeks is ok. but months, one will start to feel the
was there last month for 1 week. more and more new hotels are there. more new company warehouses/offices at ranca-ranca. the bridge is completely constructed.
can see some people wearing their lanyard with those new companies when eating lunch/dinner outside. koh loh mee still nice taste. seafood good. but am a bit disappointed as those new companies hiring such people... same like my Brunei's colleague sharing with me about situation in brunei the slow pace...

things are more rapid developed compared to last year when was there.

good thing was i pick-up 2 liter alcohol as usual
able to by chance coincident met with a OCTG premium connection technical advisor who just back from rig on sharing his recent encountered. his next trip is to Egypt after labuan...

MWD/LWD or works related to SCADA for data streaming.

years ago, a few seniors with tele ended in MWD/LWD but not long as can't withstand the offshore environment.

everyone wanna work in o&g but not evaluated himself/herself suitable or not.

u should try the tele companies honestly.

"Lundin spudded the third well in its 2012 Malaysian drilling campaign—the Merawan Batu-1 exploration well in the PM308B block, offshore east coast Peninsular Malaysia. The vertical well, to be drilled to a depth of 11,759 ft in about 195 ft of water, is targeting hydrocarbons in Oligocene-aged sands in a faulted anticline in an undrilled area 31 miles to the west of Lundin’s 2011 Janglau oil discovery. Lundin, through its subsidiary Lundin Malaysia, holds a 75% interest in the block, with Petronas (25%)."

perhaps one needs to understand the most basic org structure then self-explore various functional responsibilities.

OSEA 2012 Day 1, 27 Nov 2012 in pdf

there is this thing called AFE (authorization for expenditure). one may find Engineering teams are needed as part of the intangible drilling costs.

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.
