The world’s biggest oil platform has begun commercial production at the Sakhalin-1 offshore project in Russia’s Far East. The Berkut oil rig is expected to extract 4.5 million tons of oil annually.

The Sakhalin-1 Consortium was formed in 1996 is the first major shelf project in Russia created under terms of a Product Sharing Agreement (PSA). The international consortium is made up of the US major ExxonMobil (30 percent), Japan's Sodeco (30 percent), Russia’s Rosneft (20 percent) and India's ONGC Videsh (20 percent).

The total cost of the project is estimated to be $10-12 billion, making it the largest direct foreign investment in Russia.

The Berkut platform is expected to produce 12,000 tons of oil daily or about 4.5 million tons annually, raising the total output of the Sakhalin-1 Consortium to 27,000 tons a day.

Oil from the Arkutun-Dagi oil field will be processed at the Chaivo onshore treatment facility and then delivered by a pipeline to the DeKastri oil export terminal.

The tax revenues from oil produced by the Berkut platform will provide Russia’s regional and federal budgets with no less than $9 billion over the next ten years.


The Berkut rig is designed to work in harsh Arctic conditions, and has an autonomous power supply and can work even when temperatures go down to minus 44 degrees Celsius. Floating ice up to two meters thick cannot damage its substructure.

The drilling platform can withstand a 9 magnitude earthquake, and waves up to 18 meters high.

The field which spreads 60 kilometers offshore holds 72 million tons of recoverable oil, is also being developed by another oil rig specially built for the task.

The US and the EU sanctions are targeting Russia’s big Arctic and Siberia shale oil ambitions by barring foreign oil companies from supplying any technology or equipment for joint ventures in deep water, offshore, or shale projects.

Drilling will continue even if sanctions prevent foreign companies from participating in Russia’s Arctic, Rosneft CEO Igor Sechin said in September in an interview with Bloomberg News.

“Of course we’ll do it on our own and attract the necessary technology and different partners who don’t have limitations on cooperation,” the Rosneft CEO said.

I sense Hyundai Heavy Engineering is expanding overseas and coming to Bintulu soon? Or Daewoo Engineering? The possibility of opening a large fabrication yard can be realized at Similajau area. Insyaallah.

S. Korean firm mulls US$4 bln investment in oil and gas sector

by Johnson K Saai, reporters@theborneopost.com. Posted on February 5, 2015, Thursday

Adenan (centre) welcomes Cho Byungjae to his office. On the right is Tiong.
KUCHING: A South Korean power company is keen to invest about US$4 billion (RM14.27 billion) in the state’s oil and gas industry.

This was revealed to reporters by Malaysian Special Envoy to Japan, Korea and Taiwan Datuk Seri Tiong King Sing, who accompanied the South Korean delegation to pay a courtesy call on Chief Minister Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Adenan Satem here yesterday.

The delegation was led by South Korean Ambassador to Malaysia Cho Byungjae.
“This (proposed investment) was among things they conveyed to the chief minister just now.

“According to them, the company is interested to invest in our oil and gas.

“They, however, told Adenan that they needed to do a feasibility study first.”

Tiong, who is also Bintulu MP, said the Korean firm would work with the state government to identify opportunities in the oil and gas industry, particularly in Bintulu.

“Thus far, we have quite a number of Korean companies investing in various sectors in Sarawak, such as in Sibu, Miri, Bintulu and in Kuching, but in the oil and gas industry, I think this is the first of its kind (by the Koreans).”

eat balance and moderately with less meat and seasonings, control diet. the photo on the chicken rice with curry fish is very tempting
do exercise at least 2 or 3 times a week.
lesser smoking and drinking or totally avoid these...

so high BP can be regulated down to normal rate.

Hehehehe noted

It wasnt curry fish, ikan patin masak lemak tempoyak to be exact. Nomsnomsnoms

may i ask what the different between field engineer and field specialist?

Some told me job scope diff while some say it the same without engineer tittle

so any concrete opinion?

If you dealing with downstream, you will know there are big umbrella main contractor inside each plant (Petronas, Shell, Esso a.k.a Petron etc.) Btw, Warga Hikmat no more already after got problem with overseas project. They are one of pioneer contractor in downstream business

(^__^)

well i did not say it is totally right, but it do assist. sometimes it has conflict within top level management which I saw couple of times. Hence, if you have both, it is better. Some companies do not care much on this, but some company does. If you talk about CEO, COO position, then it will be also take into consideration. But it must always come together with experience, as qualification alone will not make it.

Note : As I say, it do assist but depending on the situation. Thus, it not a compulsory to have master degree, but if you got chance and time to do it, why not
