I'm currently working on shallow water project..  20 years lifetime of equipment to be provided..

Who on earth would want to invest billions of ringgit in platforms development if there's no oil?

I know they got office in miri, piasau area..seems empty though

You are too stupid to be taught, literally translated from "bodoh tak boleh diajar".

mtk tlg otai2 bg pandangan. sy dpt offer utk umw oil n gas skim latihan 1 malaysia. dia mcm on the job training utk 4 months kt umw oil and gas tp xtau lg dept mana. and satu lg dpt offer kerja utk satu company oil and gas jgk tp kerja not related sgt dgn educational background sy which is petroleum engineering. kerja dia bkn engineer tp buat analysis drpd pipeline report.

so skang tgh dilema.

1)kalau accept offer sl1m umw oil and gas, HR umw oil and gas tu ada ckp lps habis program tu diorang xjanji akn absorb as permanent.

pros: - kalau sy accept offer ni sy akn dpt experience dlm bidang sy study
        - sy expect kalau perform time on the job training tu maybe dia akn hire
cons: - xsure akn absorb as permanent staff utk umw
        - kalau xdpt kerja dgn umw tu xsemestinya dpt offer kerja lain plk after 4 months tu

2)kalau accept offer kerja dari company oil and gas tu sy akan start kerja next month.

pros: - kalau accept offer ni at least dpt kerja drpd duk menganggur kt umah
        - dpt experience kerja walaupun tak related dgn bidang sy
cons: - nanti dah start kerja kalau nak lompat kerja yg related bidang sy, rasa mcm rugi plk experience yg dah ada
        - rasa rugi belajar engineering 4 tahun tp kerja tak related dgn engineering sbb kerja dia more to buat analysis
        - takut bila dah masuk kerja ni susah plk nanti nak masuk engineering

p/s: minat sy more to buat something yg required to go outside office. kerja mcm dkt service company or maybe operator company. sbb kerja analysis tu just kerja office and analyse report. no need to travel to go to platform or plant.

mtk tlg otai2 bg pandangan sbb sy still fresh grad. nasihat anda semua sgt sy hargai 

ali baba company means ?

In your definition do you mean a BP company that only sub out government work to other companies is considered ali baba?

The term ali baba is usually used in reference to stealing.

Technip announces it will reduce its global workforce by 6,000 as part of its restructuring efforts due to the industry downturn.

Paris-based engineering company Technip S.A. is the latest oil and gas company to announce layoffs as a way to combat a “challenging environment in oil and gas.” As part of its restructuring plan, Technip will lay off 6,000 of its 38,000 employees from its global workforce. The cuts will be implemented over the next 18 months, a Technip spokesperson told Rigzone.
The layoffs come as part of the company’s decision to “accelerate its cost reduction and efficiency efforts worldwide,” according to a statement released by the company. The restructuring plan is expected to save the company over $918 million – almost $775 million will be delivered in 2016 and the remainder in 2017.
A significant part of the restructuring plan addresses the onshore/offshore segment’s “unsatisfactory performance,” including reducing the company’s presence in some onshore/offshore markets where profitable business is unlikely. This is expected to take place in Europe, Asia and Brazil. The company will reinforce investment in key geographic and technological areas, such as FLNG (floating liquefied natural gas). In the subsea sector, Technip will further reduce its fleet, with plans to reduce two more vessels in addition to the two vessel reductions previously planned. This will bring the total number of vessels to 23.
Technip chairman and CEO Thierry Pilenko said in a release that “the slowdown in the oil and gas industry is prolonged and harsh” and that the restructuring “will have tough consequences for employees across the Group.”
Technip joins a host of other companies who have implemented workforce reductions (a total of more than 150,000 jobs lost globally) and restructuring plans as a means of dealing with the volatility of global oil prices.

It is official.

There's been words about Petronas having to cover up 1MDB's debt.

Google search yielded nothing so far. That's why I come here to confirm anything before believing anything. Anyone to shed some light on this?

Sound to me like pretty serious if it is true.

Shell Sabah upstream is cutting headcount this month?

Not sure you're serious or...

So have you get used to the life now?

any job opening in selangor or KL. keen to move.

Oil and gas is one of the 2 major industry in Malaysia. Depending on where your business is if the oil and gas industry goes so will your hawker f and b business. Besides oil palm, O and G and manufacturing, most of the other industries are just riding the backs of the 2 major malaysian industry. So be careful what you wish for.

Edit: The hedge funds here don't seem to be affected at all, maybe not yet.

So as you also got retrenched,  I wonder what is your feeling on eating blind salaries during your tenure in the middle east?? Are you not being 'thankful' as you should? It was a good reminder to yourself tho...peace!

An example of a recruitment scam. Something to be wary about, especially given the current industry situation - there'll be more desperate people seeking employment around, and the scammers would certainly be aware of this situation and would want to jump on every opportunity.
