BP 'set to cut 30% of IT staff'

A spokesman for BP in London confirmed to Upstream that the review was under way, and while he acknowledged some job cuts were expected he said no final decision had been made and would not be drawn on the number of employees concerned.

"This review by upstream IT leadership is ongoing but we do expect it may result in a reduction in the number of roles over the next year or so," the spokesman said.

He added that the British explorer would look to reallocate any affected staff: "Wherever possible we will look to place any impacted employees in new or open roles within the business.”

The spokesman also stressed that the IT services and functions review was part of a wider review of corporate and functional support within BP that had been made public in March.

“Following the major divestment programme of the past few years and also the reorganisation of the upstream into a functional organisation, BP is a smaller, simpler company,” he said.

While the oil major employs 24,700 people in its global upstream division, it is thought IT represents a small proportion of the workforce.

The news comes a day after it emerged the British supermajor is cutting hundreds of jobs in its onshore US operations.

As reported exclusively by Upstream on Thursday, employees have already begun to receive notices under the layoffs, which are believed to extend to as much as a fifth of the company’s North American gas onshore business unit.

You will be dealing mostly on risk management, particularly on cost impact & insurance value evaluation.

I had been dealing on previous T&I package with TLO during our Telok, Damar and Tapis installation campaign.

For new T&I package FY2014-2017 (plus optional to extend for another one year) TLO is fall under package C and D.

Currently TLO is in the midst installing Tapis-R topside, TaR-TaQ bridge, TaA-TaB bridge, risers guard, commissioning pipeline etc. The next sequence for TLO client is Lundin which will be installing Bertam topside (WHP) and bridges.

Sequencing for T&I activity for each PSC's (operator) are led and administer by Petronas-PMU Barge Committee which the meeting will be held quarterly. Cost of each PSC's on T&I is to be shared amongst PSC through certain percentage.

fuuuu abag yakup bab platform neh mmg superb!!. glad too see new ones errected. hope is there then for more drilling/exploration campaign

New incoming construction & fabrication project for EMEPMI would be Guntong EOR & Bindu project I think maybe around 2017/2018 or perhaps 2019? Its all depend on Petronas approval liao

Good days Mr Yakup. I wonder you still remember me or not. I am one of the fresh-engineer leaved an EPCC company "BD" in Kuching last year . I am Mr . K from Piping team last time

Any sifu here works at MMHE pasir gudang? need to ask some questions

Yaaa I still remember you Where are you now? Join competitor of BD ka haha

Bro mohdyakup, maybe you should start v6. Saya sekarang sibuk nau and tak sempat nak masuk dah. Time to pass the torch to you ...

Wokey bro

Okay sudah bukak v6, gua close this tered.

Sudah boleh closed liao this thread

Belum ada rezeki tu la bro. Now working in M&E consultant firm. But still looking for O&G jobs. Ada apa position boleh kasi recommend ke ?? hehe

Speaking about consultant.. Leighton Offshore, OPE & Ranhill Worley are laying off their staff due to corporate acquisition/restructuring & no new projects awarded.

Feel bad for those affected.

Thanks a bunch Yakup! Now dats s/thing u wont find a/where unless u speak 2 an o&g guy

I'd guess some on-site work 4 validation purposes wud need 2 be done as well since u cant just do remote assessment fr yr desk emmm...

May I know what else 2 expect fr this role?

Too bad RWorley had to scale back its size due to its inability to secure projects in recent years.

As for Leighton Offshore and OPE, I've always wondered why they would want to operate in Msia in an already crowded O&G engineering field.

About that... Amec also making a comeback with Larastia after a failed stint with MMC.

I'm quite surprised that Mustang also survives until now without major projects secured.

p/s - sorry, didn't noticed there's new version already TS should lock this topic.

Bro yaakub i xdpt cr ur email. Sorry still new in forum
