Kota Kinabalu: Chief Minister Datuk Seri Musa Aman wants the private and public sectors to collaborate closely to boost the growth of the oil and gas downstream industries in Sabah.

The State Government, on its part, is committed to providing the required infrastructure and encouraging the training of locals to increase capacities and skills, he said.

"I must stress the importance of the downstream sector, and the need to create innovative products to sustain this part of operations.

I am a firm believer that Sabah has what it takes to be an important and effective player in the downstream processing of oil and gas products, despite some challenges that we face," he said.

"New developments in technology, existing deepwater exploration facilities, improved knowledge and skills among locals and a government that is supportive of the sector are some of the drivers that can turn Sabah into a state that is known for downstream oil and gas products," he added.

Musa, who is also State Finance Minister, said this when officiating at the opening of the Third Sabah Oil and Gas Conference and Exhibition themed "Opportunities and Growth" at the Magellan Sutera here Monday.

His speech was read by State Deputy Chief Minister cum Industrial Development Minister Datuk Raymond Tan.

Apart from that, Musa said there is also a need for local companies to seek joint ventures or collaborations with established entities to play a more effective role in the oil and gas sector.

"At the same time, it is our hope that local ventures will be given a chance to participate on a level playing field in order for Sabah to truly benefit from our foray into oil and gas," he said.

He said Sabah Development Bank (SDB) has acquired exploration and production company M3nergy in its bid to venture into oil and gas and he was pleased to note that the Federal Government has assured Petronas will give M3nergy an equal opportunity to bid for oil and gas projects.

"Sabah is committed to driving forward opportunities and growth in the oil and gas sector, and this is consistent with the theme of the event.

Over the past few years, we have seen significant development in the industry, acting as a catalyst for Sabah's economic growth," he said.

He said the spin-offs for supporting services are not limited to logistics and that the creation of new and enhanced townships in areas close to where oil and gas development takes place helps provide better infrastructure and facilities to locals.

Currently, Petronas is taking the lead in investing in oil and gas fields, apart from downstream projects.

"These include the Sabah Oil and Gas Terminal in Kimanis, Sabah-Sarawak Gas Pipeline, Kimanis Power Plant, Sabah Ammonia and Urea Plant in Sipitang and the Liquefied Natural Gas Regasification Terminal to supply gas to the Lahad Datu Power Plant," said Musa, acknowledging other players in the oil and gas sector for their consistent effort, hoping they would continue to act as important partners for Sabah's progress.

The oil, gas and energy industry is listed as a National Key Economic Area (NKEA), with emphasis on building Malaysia's services and manufacturing sector while retaining incentives to ensure constant production levels.

Entry Point Projects (EPPs) for this NKEA have been developed across four themes to raise the sector's output and to meet energy demands.

These themes include sustaining oil and gas production, enhancing the growth of the downstream sector, turning Malaysia into the number one Asian hub for oil field services and building a sustainable energy platform for growth.

The Malaysian External Trade Development Corporation (Matrade), with the progress of the industry, local companies have become prominent service providers in the areas of exploration and production operators, and are also able to provide services and products to meet global demands.

Malaysian companies have the expertise to provide multi-disciplinary services including oilrig engineering and fabrication, and environmental management which covers total sludge management.

Kerja kat Sabah kalau nak sewa rumah & apartment are too damn high. Trust me.

ye meh. Aku igt kat labuan jer..
wehh..still food poisoning ka? 

Are you sure you wanna work in this industry? Its a very high stress, longer working hours environment (in fact I am still at office while writing this reply). If I were you I will choose pharma, but kalau nak sangat bergaji besar kau ambik jer jurusan accounting lepas tu boleh kerja as investment banker

Dont just jump in this industry because of the high pay, your value will be seen only after five years. Trust me. There is no such things as work-life balance in O&G (if you in Project environment)

betul tu. these days young grads all joining for the wrong reasons. yes we work for money n all, but remember this nothing comes easy.

many in the industry may have big paycheck but ask them if they are just going kaki in office/field.

no single type of job pays damn high, but you senang lenang goyang bontot punya. even those famous footballers pon work hard.

chose the career path you like, not just for the money. the money will come when you do it the right way.[

How much can I expect to earn in this industry? I know there's many types of Oil & Gas careers but which ones are higher-paying? Will it be hard to get hired (how's the applicant/vacancy ratio?)?

Straight A+ SPM graduate here with no idea what I want to work as for the rest of my life. Currently narrowed down my choices to pharmacist or petroleum engineer. Any help would be appreciated. 

Guys, help me decide which job offer shall I take.

I just finish my mechanical engineering degree.. And currently waiting for my final semester results.

I have two job offers; let's call them Company A and company B

Company A, where I previously did my internship. The pay is about rm2,300 until my results are officially out. Once the results are out, they increase my pay by 1k. I'll me doing mostly mechanical and procurement in this company. In this company. Here I know I'll learn a lot with the guidance of my previous supervisor. The current job offer puts me directly under him. He is one of the reason I'm considering as I'll learn a lot from him.

Company B is a start up company. Currently the company only consist of two people and they are the partners that started the company. So basically I'm their first hire. They  are offering about rm3,500. Here, I will also learn a lot about helping managing the company, meeting clients and other stuff.

Both company are in the oil and gas industry but in different area. I'm aware of the risk of Company B where it can go bust and the job is less secure compared to Company A but starting and building the company from scratch seems like a good platform where I can learn also which is why I'm interested to go there.

I have also previously worked with one of the partners of Company B and I know that he has experience and can be a good mentor to me.

So I'm confused.. Help!!

B

Reqs:

-Minimum Degree in any Engineering fields
-CGPA at least 3.5 or Second Class Upper
-Fresh, energetic individuals with excellent leadership,communication and technical talent

Could you enlighten me why u choose B?
