Downstream petchem banyak pakai exotic materials, cost almost the same like Upstream. Gulp  icon_question.gif

yah, it is same, you need everything with mill cert especially critical item (certificate of origin also needed). i know other downstream business like my previous, not really into this, but for O&G, we have to follow API, ASME etc. Our inspection would not approve if you suka-suka use other material. Plus, there also specific country of origin for mill they allowed to purchase material with for critical item.

hmm, one of my CAPEX budget still not yet approve for this year. huhu

I really laughed at thisĀ  rclxms.gif

Inspectors in construction have the best job if you ask me cause its the only job where the unexpected really can happen. Ask them for some stories and I am sure they can share plenty.

Sometimes you need a little bit of magic to get the work done.
*
i did not deny that, it's hard to explain here, but if you know what is within this industry, i've been with unexpected previous, just can't tell everything here, macam², even for simple thing like gasket, bolts and nuts, about magic u mentioned, yah, i also did that "magic" often in my work to get it done tongue.gif tongue.gif tongue.gif but u need to know the things before u apply the trick, not everything is straight forward as what written on paper,

still need to entertain other party like management, operation, inspection, technical, everyone got different expectation, u need to manage them well at the end of the day

In fact I've seen "cold" dipped galvanized bolt and nut, "bluecolor" carbon coated, and not to mention those SS304 replace SS316.
*
my previous experience high tensile bolt (normally black color), but instead, found out they supply actual normal bolt but cooked with black oil, something like that to get it black color (not heat treated), for gasket not to mentioned, even though it come from reputable supplier, but sometime if u really check on its originality (from where it manufactured), u have to accept the fact how the things is play around in this business, same goes to plate etc. u can do PMI on material or metallurgy lab, as for management side, normally they need u justify it, so u need to present data to them based on result

no problem, it's ok, but got problem, ppl will dig till "lubang cacing", haha

I come from both an engineering and electrician trade background, and I guess that's what they hired me for. It's my opinion that if you're still new, best not to go for project eng position client side and spend 3 or 4 years vendor side to get a hang of the basics.

Most of these days my jobs are generally;

- Discipline Acceptance and C2 phase sign off
- Managing sub-con TQs and checking in with HQ Eng dept
- CCMS management of FICs, Tasks, Punchlists and MOCs
- Coordination of sub-cons and work teams, ensuring dayworks cost fixtures
- Critical path and scheduling input + costing with Commercial

Mostly admin.
*
Normally client side do this MOCs brows.gif brows.gif

If you into Material and Corrosion stuff - Google about Metacos.

http://www.metacos.com/

Actually there is a lot of consultant for metallurgy out there, not only Metacos but also BV, DNV-GL, Velosi etc

Engaged them last year to perform analysis of material from my equipment. But when I ask for invoice, till today never sent me, really weird. rich already i think. haha

An engineer that always sit in the office, is just a standard village hero that can only talk following what a book says.
Any job related for O&G, for better future and security, still working in the field are better.
*
not only related to OnG, other heavy industries as well, learn alot from field experience, even though at beginning you will have difficult time, but along the way, you learn the trick, sum more, it's never ending learning process, it build up your common sense and skill to troubleshoot and polish your human sensory

QUOTE(supersound @ May 6 2015, 03:37 PM)
Yes, you are right.
What a book says is just a personal view from the author, like working in East Malaysia and West Malaysia will have different level of corrosion.
I have a friend that worked in Pahang and both of us have a Kawasaki Victor. Best of all, both of the bikes are about the same age brows.gif
And his bike's exhaust rusting are way severe than mine.
But does the book will take this as a factor? I doubt so, that's why experience are very important.
Like I worked in Qatar recently, this is the first time I see the flanges are badly dis-aligned or the pipe too long. Just imagine you need to use hydraulic jack to make a gap.
*
haha, not to mention to install spading on flange where the old design never consider this spade gap especially big piping flange. when come to M&R, people headache jack here n there as spading have standard thickness. if you want to downsize it, you need to justify by calculation (ASME B-31.3) to ensure it can withstand the pressure (risk assessment).

I guess whatever your position on-field/off-field all peoples in this industry play its vital roles too. O&G is an integrated supply chain across the organization, be it Upstream and Downstream.
*
Agree with u. Everyone have their roles and responsibilities. For me as technical person, learn from field is the best. Only thing is, there are many type of field, procurement field is different tongue.gif , same goes to IT field. Previously i don't really hv time for documentation, but when join OnG, document also play important role and I got chance to experience these. "Decision maker" not all of them have experience at field, some hv few years, but still they are the one who make decision.

p/s : I still need procurement to purchase whatever I need for my works

Nak tanya sikit otai2 Cost Control and QS in this thread.

Sapa yang ada handle manpower contract from their own subcon where cut-off date bukan end month calendar date? Example cut-off every 25th calendar month? Macam mana korang itemized each date to cater April'15 billing? Contoh - April billing is 26th March until 25th April.

Pening liao GST.
*
my place, as per tax department advice, if the work complete in April, then contractor can submit invoice with GST (even original PO is without GST inclusive)

now claim everything oso need to put tax ID code, need understand as well, huhuhu
