maaf bang, actually my point was the oil was running short lately. Building a new mega refinery is the future to sustain the future generations of malaysian and the rakyat.

Regarding the Tapis oil. Tapis oil is good oil that have low/no sulphur content, thus there is not much need to so refining at all. These kind of oil you can take and pump straight to the car and it will burn well.

So to elaborate further, there is a reserve at Tapis at deep depth(i cant remember, my dad knew there is oil deeper) that petronas till today still cant drilling that bugger right out of that. What exxon found for petronas was just a vein that links to a big reservoir. The french had tried to drill for pertronas to reach that depth, they drilled for 1 month nonestop but failed due to the technology and pressure was too great for the BOP at that time.

Not too sure if anyone had figure out how to solve that problem till today.

Contract Specialist for FLNG-2 project daily rate very handsome I heard. I jelly.

You are not front liner, so at any 1 time you won't know how hard the front liners do when having multiple issues. Flange not aligned properly, inside pipes have sands that causing pump failures.

Ya. I am just a paper pusher. Masuk site pun sekadar verify BOQ. Menternak lemak bawah aircon site office jer.

Something to ponder in a meeting,

client call contractor stupid = contractor takes it like a man but if..

contractor calls client stupid (due to their lack of site / construction work knowledge) = how would the client react?

chillex bro...kita ni semua village hero jer..

Boleh abg senior, I will be there on 2 oso, bawak anak g OGA

Oil never been running short, no doubt Malaysian crude are low in sulphur, but because of the price, not much people willing to buy it. Our oil is got price no market, so nobody willing to buy = oil short as stated by government.
Middle East crude are way cheaper than our crude, so most people will build a better sulphur removal plant rather than buy expensive crude.
If the crude got price and market, sure Petronas already buying technology to dig it out.
Our sea are not deep if comparing to other country's oil rigs.
BTW, if you know nuts on Tapis crude, don't simply talk like you are a pro. A crude consist of various impurities, it can't be pump straight to a car. Maybe asking help from wiki will help to prevent you on slapping your face your self
The only refinery in Malaysia that still relying on Tapis crude is Petron, go look for a job there and see how they process it.

Malaysia's Petronas Posts 39% Drop in 1Q Profit on Global Oil Slump


KUALA LUMPUR, May 22 (Reuters) – Petroliam Nasional Bhd , Malaysia's state oil company more commonly know as Petronas, reported on Friday a 39 percent drop in quarterly net profit due to a drop in benchmark crude prices.
Net profit was 11.4 billion ringgit ($3.18 billion) for the January-March period, compared to a profit of 18.8 billion ringgit in the same period in 2014, Petronas said.
Revenue for the quarter was 66.2 bln ringgit against 84 bln ringgit in the prior year period.
The company said quarterly profits were impacted by lower revenue due to a 50 percent drop in benchmark crude price, but was helped by higher processed gas trading and better LNG sales volume.
It maintained a projection for crude oil prices to average $55 a barrel in 2015.
Petronas will pay a dividend of 26 billion ringgit to the Malaysian government in 2015, lower than the dividend of 29 billion ringgit it paid in 2014.
Unlisted Petronas is Malaysia's only Fortune 500 company and accounts for most of the government's oil and gas revenue. ($1 = 3.5830 ringgit)

agak2 la tapis no need refining. still need distillation maa. if you said tapis dont need desalting that is true as salt content of tapis was very low during its initial period around 1990 if im not mistaken lah, but now tapis need desalting as salt content is typical like other light crude.

tapis still being fed to PSR1 and PSR2 refinery in melaka and PPT in terengganu.

Would front liners have jobs if those in the office did not work to develop and install the facilities offshore?

There are some people who will always see a bottle half empty instead of half full.

In real life, I just ignore these negative and doomsday-thinking people. Buang masa layan these kind of characters.

Those office workers does not develop, they are just copy and paste from previous design.
An office worker can show to the boss all sort of rubbish numbers and figures, but as long as front liners does not know what it is and can't operate properly, those numbers will be bullshit basically.
Your question are more like have chicken first or chicken egg first.
