Negotiations underway for Bardegg-2 and Baronia subcontract works

Posted on March 18, 2015, Wednesday

KUCHING: Several contractors including Malaysia Marine & Heavy Engineering (MMHE), SapuraKencana Petroleum Bhd and TH Heavy Engineering Bhd (THHE) are said to still be in negotiations with lead contractor Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) for the fabrication of the substructure covering a jacket and bridge for Petronas’ Baram Delta Gas Gathering Project 2 (Bardegg-2) and Baronia field development.

AmResearch Sdn Bhd (AmResearch) noted HHI had recently bagged the US$1 billion turnkey contract to fabricate the 30,000-tonne central processing platform (CPP) and associated infrastructure for the project.

“We understand that the topsides will be built at Hyundai’s Ulsan yard, while the 14,000-tonne substructure to support the CPP will be constructed in Malaysia. The delivery of the jacket and bridge is scheduled for February 2016,” said the research house.

It added that the Bardegg-2 and Baronia field development also includes several wellhead platforms on the Tukau Timur and Baronia fields that will be tied back to the CPP, where SapuraKencana had won the contract last year. First gas is targeted for early 2018.

The outlook for the fabricators remain muted as orderbook replenishment remains a challenge amid capex cuts by the O&G companies and a slowdown in E&P activities. Furthermore, local fabricators have been facing intense competition from foreign yards and had recently lost out on major fabrication jobs, including the Bergading CPP earlier.

On separate developments, Petronas had recently announced the deferment of the Sepat gas project, in Block RM313 off Terengganu, until 2017 or 2018. Petronas had earlier evaluated several different development concepts for Sepat, with options including a CPP or an FPSO.

With the deferment of the Sepat project, the Kasawari CPP remains the only major fabrication job in the near term, where the prequalified parties are HHI, a joint venture between Saipem and SapuraKencana, and a partnership between Technip and MMHE.

The submission deadline for the US$4 billion turnkey contract has again been extended to March from February due to new technical and commercial requirements for Kasawari.

“This is not a surprise, given Petronas’ focus on optimising its cost structure which would see a reduction in capital expenditure by 10 per cent-15 per cent for 2015 and operation expenditure by 30 per cent.

“Our immediate concern centres on the risk of impairment on assets of select companies that was acquired when oil prices were at elevated levels. Petronas had booked impairment losses of RM22 billion.”

Tough times ahead for O&GDayang, Coastal Contracts among few to keep an eye on — RHB Research

Posted on March 17, 2015, Tuesday

KUCHING: With early jack-up (JU) project terminations, data from RHB Research Institute Sdn Bhd (RHB Research) suggests that near term JU market conditions in Southeast Asia are set to worsen, as exploration and production (E&P) operators exercise early termination.

This will exacerbate idle JU rig concerns in the region, as rig owners face difficulties securing replacement contracts post declining tenders and increasing bidding competition or contracts, it said in a note yesterday.

To note, new contract awards lately were merely on spot charters. Both IHS Petrodata and Riglogix recorded utilisation declines, the latest being 66 per cent.

Although Southeast Asia’s national oil firms – Petronas, PTT, Pertamina and PetroVietnam – signalled cuts in capital expenditure between 10 to 15 per cent, RHB Research anticipates more than 15 per cent downside pressure on new charter rates of high-specification JU rigs.

“Channel checks suggest a day rate full repayment could compensate under termination for convenience for some contracts, but an early termination may not guarantee full compensation or termination fee for all cases.

“From our channel checks, there are currently very few work orders for Dayang Enterprise Holding Bhd’s (Dayang) hook-up, construction and commissioning (HUCC) contract from Shell at a contract value of RM2.4 billion.

“As the work is on a call-out basis, there are no work orders for Dayang at the moment from Shell.”

RHB Research said the yard for this contract is currently idle and is being utilised for the Bardegg-Baronia engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning (EPCC) project. This is not specific to Dayang as Petra Energy Bhd is also going though a slow work orders period, it added.

Perdana Petroleum Bhd’s vessels currently chartered to Dayang are also being off-hired as they are utilised for Shell’s HUCC contract.

As Petronas defers projects including the US$4 billion Kasawari turnkey, Kumang F12 gas, US$1 billionn Sepat gas, RHB Research said contract termination or off-hire risk is material.

“Coastal Contracts Bhd (Coastal Contracts) remains a safer investment for JU rigs. For JU rig exposure, we prefer the group as it is the only one taking real efforts to dispose of one of its JU rigs by 2015.

“We retain our forecasts for the service players, as there is no confirmation given by the companies. For JU rigs, we see Coastal Contracts protecting shareholders’ value as it takes real effort to dispose of a JU rig by 2015.”

Toshiba to supply Duyen Hai with 688MW steam turbine and generator

Posted on March 17, 2015, Tuesday

KUALA LUMPUR: Toshiba Corporation will be supplying a 688MW super-critical steam turbine and generator (STG) to Duyen Hai 3 Extension Coal-fired Power Plant at Duyen Hai district of Tra Vinh Province in Vietnam.

Toshiba will make delivery in 2016 and the plant will start operation in 2018.

The contractor, engineer, procurement and construction for the project, Sumitomo Corporation of Japan awarded the contract to Toshiba, said Toshiba in a statement issued yesterday in Tokyo, Japan.

Duyen Hai 3 Extension Project is one of the three urgent projects as power demand in Vietnam is rising fast, driven by strong economic growth.

Supply and demand is particularly tight in southern Vietnam, and the government is preferentially developing capacity there.

In the last six years, the company has been awarded orders for Vung Ang 1 Thermal Plant, Thai Binh 2 Thermal Plant and Vinh Tan 4 Thermal Plant, another of the three urgent projects.

This experience, and the performance and reliability of Toshiba’s STGs has won a positive evaluation from Sumitomo Corporation.

Toshiba will continue its effort to develop thermal generation equipment with the world’s highest level of efficiency for super-critical coal fired plants and for combined cycle thermal power plants, and to reinforce its thermal power plant business in emerging countries.

Going forward, Toshiba Group will look to contribute to economic development in emerging countries by supporting measures to secure stable power supply. — Bernama

Ada gak subordinates aku yg junior2 nih. Aku tunggu gak diaorg mintak apa2 dr aku. I have tons of books n reference bro psl o&g, contract, cost estimation etc.

Tapi yilekkk..langsung xde.
Bila keje, hampeh. Alasan, experience x bnyk lg.
Apa budak2 skang mmg jenis bodoh sombong ke?

Aku cukup pantang kalu budak2 contract & procurement yg buat keje mcm admin clerk. Setakat buat paper work janji keje siap. Fundamental of contract n cost haram x tahu.

Langsung xde humble nak mintak knowledge, tp nak spoonfeed memanjang.. pelik2.

Sekian luahan perasaan dari saya yg noob dan mentah ini.

Fundamental QS in O&G dari dulu sampai sekarang aku masih pegang - Do the measurement twice, cut only once.

Sekian quote saya yang mentah dan khilaf ini.

Bang saya pun buat kerja admin clerk bang. Jangan marah saya. Sekadar luahan perasaan tukang tolak document.

Can I make a connection with you Mr Yakup?
I also fresh grad baru nak cuba cuba masuk this industry. Tapi degree tak related pula. Electronics engineering macam no company pandang to join them. 6 month already try sending resume but no lulck yet.

Siapa cakap Electronic Engineering tak boleh jadi otai dalam O&G????

Kalau kau ada bola stainless steel dalam seluar meh sini datang mengadap aku kat Gebeng. Aku bagi kau free consultation in O&G. Do not worry I wont bite.

Saya masih mentah dalam industry ini sebenarnya.

Wahhh. Serius ke ni. Thanks bro. So any weekend boleh ke?

This Sunday aku plan nak drop by kat Kerteh. Nak reconnect with my old friend. If you happen to be around at Kerteh on Sunday tengah hari let me know.

This Sunday cousin wedding pula. But soon bro, I'll get in touch with you #serious

Boleh. Kalau kau ada kakak yang masih single kirim salam ek? #Jokes

Saya pon tolak dokumen n buat admin clerk work cym juga. Tp maksud aku jgn la setakat buat paper work jer tp apa yg dibuat pon kdg2 tak tau. Copy paste.

Sekedar luahan perasaan saya sebagai kerani kontrak cum despatch.

kalau elektrik n elektronik boleh apply ke?? but only diploma..degree odw do part time..hehehe..mcm menarik je...

Boleh bang. Sapa cakap tak boleh? Banyak sebenarnya lubang pekerjaan kat sekitar area Gebeng, Kerteh, Gurun, Pasir Gudang, Bintulu, Miri, Labuan dan Sipitang berkenaan plant shutdown & turnaround asalkan kau sanggup join subcon as a start. Kau sanggup? Tahan nak kena maki by client?

What I emphasize is a positive attitude to learn more. Tak salah join subcon. Kau kena built project reference dalam CV kau. Foundation kena built first in your early phase of O&G careers.

Ini semua nak masuk line Client dulu. Banyak cantik. Geram betul aku budak2 manja zaman sekarang.

Maafkan statement saya yang kasar ini. Saya sedar saya hanyalah pekerja mentah dan kurang berpengalaman dalam industry minyak dan gas ini.
