Looks like my bullshitting rumor do come true    

I have to correct you here. All due respect to your dad but there is no such reserve available in Tapis. The way you describe it is also incorrect. There is no "vein" in an oil reservoir, this is not like mining where you are looking for the coal veins or gold veins etc.

High pressure and High Temperature reservoirs are also common nowadays and the ability to do HPHT drilling is common as well so no, there is no resources that was left behind. The industry just doesn't work that way, especially in Petronas and especially if it has to do with Oil.

What you mention about Tapis crude is correct that it has 10 times less sulphur than Brent. The API is approximately 46 degrees but obviously the statement that "you can put that directly into the tank" is an expression, not an actual thing that can be done. Hawtah crude (Central Arabian) which has an API gravity of 52-54 (which is almost a condensate) is one of the lightest crude around and you still can't put that directly into your car. We have the same expression as well "It's so light you can put it in the car tank" (but obviously it's just an expression, of how light the crude is).

Tapis at one time was one of the most expensive Crude Blend (Tapis Blend comes not just from the Tapis field, it comes from all the ExxonMobil or Carigali operated fields which are sent to the Tapis Processing Platform to be blended with the light Tapis crude) in the world. I wouldn't say 15 bucks above Brent, it averages mostly 5-6 bucks above Brent previously. A lot of those refineries cannot handle those middle-east crude (to build those kind of refinery, it is expensive) so that is why Tapis blend was in demand.

Hope that clears some things up.

by any chance its the one starting with the letter V? haha.

btol bro, x kesah mana meratau, nasik lemak tetap dirindui.

guys, for the walk in visitors for the OGA will there be any charges during registration?(a friend of mine missed the early online registration and was asking me if there is any charges to register on the day itself)

Yes, true true.

BTW, how to calculate crude price to consumer's petrol price? I heard in UK, petrol price keep increasing since January.

Nope, you are not. As they prefer to change the whole part rather than repair it.
To survive in O&G, you only need to know how to play with office politics.

That's why ESSO refinery sold, as too much hanky panky happened.

please la..gimme a break.
Why don't you find another playground & throw all your self-conceited/narcissistic comment there.

Don't spread negative vibes here. Regardless is true or not, based on your life experience whatsoever.
Annoyed la woii.....not interesting/ed at all.
That's normal in real life la....

effective + visible = smart
effective + invisible = solo bastard

ineffective + visible = smart but asshol*s
ineffective + invisible = baik pegi mati

in addition, it is all about skills in communication, upward communication, barriers in communication, managing & handling people/behaviors, self confidence, behaviorist theory, consequences theory, rewards & reinforces theory, recognition, the effect theory, NLP, ......so on & so forth.

i'm talking about office politics with knowledge @ PROFESSIONAL APPROACH, not like a typical office politics mcm kedai kopi.
Example of kedai kopi talk, u can find some of it at here.

Insya Allah.Thanks bro.Patience is key
:-)

Good evening everyone. I would like to ask is torque multiplier required to be calibrated? Thanks

Difficult year for the industry.
Brace yourselves.

which refinery ya?

What type of constructive comments you like? Just come out some comments to deny our big companies doing mega retrenchments? Can, I got no problem to join your group of denial. After all, you guys like to kakikong, kakisong in this cyber world.
But the bloody reality is, world economy are going to crash.
Why ESSO Malaysia changed hand? Why Shell looking on converting to terminal or selling it out? A RAPID project that still unable to process crude oil from Middle East?
Now most developed countries are going to stop oil refining and convert them to oil terminal, this is to reduce pollution and cost. This is the game that big companies are playing.
In Saudi, there's another 2-3 mega refineries going to start up soon, all are Euro 6 and above compliant.
Donkey years ago, people always says working in O&G are iron bowl. But iron is still iron, it will get rusted over the time
