Greetings sifus,

I wonder if anyone here had experience working for PrimeSourcing International Sdn Bhd (formerly known as MITCO (Japan)) Friend of mine got called for Functional Assessments this Friday. Proposed position is Exec (SCM) - Seeding.

Some info I get from Petronas website
QUOTE
Principal Activity: ​Established as an international procurement company serving PETRONAS Group of Companies and other customers in oil and gas related industries. The procurement services provided by PSI cover the following range of key equipment and materials:
1)Steel ( Oil Country Tubular Goods (OCTG), Linepipes, Structural Steel & Pipe Fittings)
2)Electrical and Instrumentation
3)Mechanical (Rotating & Static)
4)Mechanical (Turbine, Generator & Compressor)


Here is some of her background information, she graduated in PE, did her intern doing coiled tubing services and wireline. Its been almost 2 months since her previous employer terminated her service due to retrenchment early this year. I'm trying to help her getting back her confidence to attend the session. It would be really great if sifus here could share some tips and advice for her for preparation as I know that she still didnt move on and accept the fact that she are destined to work with other company.

Thank you sifus

I have a good rapport with PSI. If got offer, take it and request to be placed under category management either for OCTG or Well Cementing (Lafarge).

The session is similar to any Petronas SI - you may sesrch at Petronas thread for the tips.

You can watch this video to get an idea
Petronas MITCO

my ex-company used to get 2+1, etc contract for OCTG, from Kemaman/Labuan as the source of supply.
keywords tubing/casing/accessories premium connections like VAM, TenarisHydril, JFE, GP, etc.
you also can refer to API 5CT, 5L as source for OCTG technical reference.
API = American Petroleum Institute.

Hye bro, thank you for the tips and advice. I shall deliver it to her right away. Just wanna share with you, recently there is one oil company claims based in Dubai, offering job. Funny thing that it is a scam. And the offer letter sent to her, is really not convincing with bad format, English vocabulary terabur some more. I'll share the offer letter with you guys later on.

a quick processes of OCTG:
1.) Material (carbon steel/ chrome steel 9Cr or 13 Cr or rarely 21 Cr) will be supplied by customer/vendor assist customer to purchase from mill. for premium connections, Jap mills is the most prefer due to the tight tolerance of the material manufacturing processes. Try China mill, and one will regret when come to gauging time.
2.) Start machining (drilling/milling/turning/boring/profiling/CNC). based on length and size (OD ? ", ? lb/ft, ? ft, refer back to API 5CT/Premium Connections like VAM TSLI). G-Code will be used. Some codes are provided and mandatory to be used by premium connection licensees.
CNC machine calibration/inserts/tool holder/jaws/ front and rear spindle is also very important, need to refer back to TSLI again.
3.) QC inspection based on premium connection checklist with gauges (supplied by licensor/API/vendor own properties). customer/TPI (Third Party Inspector) may want to witness this as hold-point.
4.) Stress-relief if required by premium connections technical specifications.
5.) 1G/2G welding, if required. PWHT, if required after welding, the graph to be filed. again customer/TPI may want to witness this as hold-point.
6.) NDT (LPT/MPT/RT/UT), if required. again customer/TPI may want to witness this as hold-point.
7.) Hydrostatic pressure test range xxx PSI - 15,000 PSI, if required. again customer/TPI may want to witness this as hold-point.
8.) Copper plating, if required to achieve certain micron thickness. again customer/TPI may want to witness this as hold-point.
9.) Zinc/Manganese phosphate if require for the premium thread. titration test and some tools calibration are important in this process. again, customer/TPI may want to witness this as hold-point. again, QC inspection.
10.) Horizontal make-up (power tong), dope/dopeless as per pin/box requirements in technical spec, 3 or 4 jaws also very important, if required to produce the torque-turn chart which need to meets certain torque value as per premium connection requirements. again customer/TPI may want to witness this as hold-point.
11.) Paint stripes as per premium connections TSLI/API requirements, if required. Premium connection monogram or API monogram.
12.) Last QC/QA and packing. Delivery.

Hey bro, I will deliver your advice & tips to my friend, she just finished attending chit chat session last Friday and the feedback she get is good, and the SI will take place next week. They're hiring this June. If she manage to excel all the stages she will be attending training for 2 years before they station her in Pengerang. It's just that the interviewer wants her confirmation whether she really are interested on doing procurement under OCTG, since she is PE graduates, tech background. Now she's in dilemma. She's afraid that if once she accept the offer, other job interview (PE related) coming also, but yeah I told her that in this current economy she shouldn't be demanding. Most of her PE friend also end up doing procurement since that is the only one offering the job. some even still unemployed. Anyway, I think its good for her to start building the network now. It might be helpful in the future. Thank you once again for your knowledge sharing bro wink.gif
