Critics Consensus: Deepwater Horizon makes effective use of its titular man-made disaster to deliver an uncommonly serious -- yet still suitably gripping -- action thriller.

Where's the popcorn?

Actually the company I'm working with now, the Operation fellas are looking at the economic feasibility of a long-term lease of a jack-up rig purposely built for accommodation, to be bridge-linked to an existing platform. The existing platform has no more space to accommodate additional LQs.

Brent Crude exceeded USD50 today; USD50.02

I wonder if PETRONAS had been a company from a Western country, would the Canadian govt impose the same number of conditions?

Macam confident jer SK dapat Pan Malaysian T&I contract..

Pan Malaysian contract has not yet been awarded.

Rig contract is a separate contract.

They got a big India project. Feed stage. Maybe preparing manpower for detailed design?

The TROLL is back!

You can continue to work in onshore design office to get the design experience. Oil&gas consultants do take in experienced design engineers from onshore industry. When I was a fresh graduate engineer in one oil&gas consultant office, I noticed there were a few engineers in the office who were already senior engineers (more than 6-8 years experience) in their previous onshore design companies. They told me they wanted more challenging design works and chose to switch to oil&gas industry.

Don't give up on a career in oil&gas. Oil is not a renewable energy and the current oil glut in the global market will eventually subside and demand will come back. Historically there was a boom time right after a recession period.

There are many offshore development projects that have been put on hold by Msian PACs. Wait until oil hits USD80, and the development rush will set in.

It never bothered me who got the credit for engineering.

More importantly was the SALARY that went into my bank account each month.

No, not in Malaysia. No advantage in oil & gas industry. But usually specialists expat do have professional qualifications from their home country.

Better get Malaysian PE. Petronas requires lead engineers to have PEs from BEM to work in their offshore platform design projects.

In oil & gas, Process Engineers lead the way in the development of oil & gas faciities. Their roles are more prominent and essential during the concept stage as the process design will determine the most optimum processing methods and equipment to process the oil&gas crude. And they are the highest paid engineers amongst all the discipline engineers in the engineering development team.

Petroleum engineers, subsurface, well design, etc., provide design data to the engineering development team for the development of the processing facilities. These group of engineers are at the forefront in field development and paid well too.

if NOC capex and opex were budgeted using USD, then possibly NOC would benefit from RM depreciation against USD.

the ones suffer the most were the contractors who bided projects in RM, prior to depreciation of oil price and RM.

Funny that their first steel cut was less than a week after award.

Nampak sangat project award was delayed for some time due to political....dot....dot...dot.....

super duper sensitive subject to discuss, privately even .........

Yes (T&I Pan Malaysian), and a new 3-yr contract (2017-2019) is about to be awarded soon.

You will know the winning bidder very soon......

sorry, my crystal ball isn't big enough to show me.

Sudah 1-Dec, new Pan Malaysian Contract for T&I isn't awarded yet.

Fierce political lobbying behind the scenes nampak gayanya!
