There's a saying once you're in ExxoonMobil don't ever leave lol.
Becos their bonus is    VERY FAT LOL

My starting salary is RM2.8K only. But heard from my friend working at RNZ, his starting pay also is 2.8k. Is it because of consultant company gives a lower paid compared with oil company/service company? i m currently working as technical safety engineer.

Folks, is there a new round of layoffs ongoing among the Malaysian PSCs ?

Perunding Ranhill Worley (PRW) secures a new design job I heard? FEED with allocated 200,000 manhours?

Thanks. This is my second interview attempt with Hess, the last one is on 2013 prior joining with Petrofac last time.

Dulu the manager not favouring me for the last roles because he is looking for someone with strong background in offshore T&I (candidates from TLO, PBJV, GOM preferred)    but this time the roles with Facilities team, taking care on the ongoing CPP fabrication. Hope I can nail the session this time.

yup, from qatar petroleum...kinda big job...heard they will be hiring a big round for this project given they had retrenched a lot of people since the crude oil tumble and the controversial lekas project

Another not so good news to oil&gas supporting companies; the huge project which starts with "K" in SKO has been deferred for 2 years!

If no commitments in life it is worth a try if I were you. 10000 is that worldwide or only in Malaysia?

10 000 globally. Yes, I have no commitments but I'm afraid if I'm unlucky enough to be laid off then it is harder for me to find a secured job again. Because right now I'm not sure whether the statistic is right or not since SLB never made a statement about the exact numbers of worker to be slashed. Can someone who is currently working with SLB in this forum help me out on this? Are there a lot of workers that base in Malaysia to be laid off? If it is PNC please DM me.

Aker KL office, 150 ppl MSS, next week..

Unlike you, The TS got a LIFE outside of LYN. Pretty obvious you don't have one. Since you are so anal and fixated over the oil price being updated here, why don't you start the thread for the next version? You can update it every second for all we care.

I bet most of you are getting annoyed with McDermott recruiter who are based at Dubai & Mauritania, asking same details all over again via email without reading our CV thoroughly hahahaha

These MPH Global RPO appointed by McDermott really fail big time. I haz kecewa son.

anybody from mmhe? heard they secure F12?

Several years back, there is an effort to have another fab yard at Sepanggar area, initiate by Sabah state govt (SIP & Boustead JV). I wonder the progress of their license with Petronas still ongoing or not.

In other news, LSE really dry right now no new project after Permas.

it's a domino effect. PSCs are cutting costs especially in platforms development, and have to lay off its large pool of experienced engineers. now the consultants are letting go off their staff due to no new platform developments. later next 2 years, fabricators will feel the impact of not having new projects, and after that, installation contractors will feel the heat. the oil& gas supporting companies especially those involved in upstream, will invariably suffer the same fate too.

everyone's praying that the oil price has hit its bottom. but again the world awaits with bated breathe what will happen to the oil price when Iran's out of economic sanction and starts to exports its large inventory of oil to the world  middle of 2016. 

I am hoping front-end field development will be "revived" in 2H 2017 (when my contract expires)......

Hi

Congrats on your new baby! 

BTW there are no 'professional' engineers in the O & G industry. Heck! they don't even bother to register with the Institutions and Board!
There is no O&G section in the Institution of engineers. They are just not bothered.
So essentially most so called engineers here are mercenaries, not professionals. Many are very poor at their so called profession.
But that's just the industry.

I used to prepare contracting package for FEED works, and yes BEM requirement is a must in the contract. All PSC's must follow direction by MPM/PMU.

I'm a PE with BEM for over 2 decades, and I have been in oil and gas industry my whole career.  I know many PEs in oil and gas as I had worked in most oil and gas consultants. PETRONAS requires all lead engineers to have PE in their respective disciplines, and all drawings need to be PE stamped and signed by PEs.

BEM is the regulatory engineering body that has the power to award PE to qualified engineers and give them license to practice as PEs. It is compulsory for engineers to register with BEM if they want to practice engineering. IEM is a professional engineering "club" and registration with IEM is on voluntary basis. IEM is authorized by BEM to conduct PE exams on its behalf, though during my time BEM also conducted PE exams themselves. There is an Oil & Gas section in IEM, and I used to be one of the commitee members.

Obviously you knew sh*t about engineers in oil and gas. Keep your opinions to yourself as not to make you look like a fool. There are many very smart people in oil and gas, so don't try to out smart them.

guys, want to ask about working environment and benefits in bumi armada

anyone care to share?
position is IT related so most likely no need to go offshore?

I think they missed out aker.  Heard that aker slashed too
