Got an offer from ADNOC, kucing kurap as shift team for USD7000.
Interesting thing is, no interview and they already offer me a job and never ask for interview. Too good to be true offer?

Hi abang abang taiko, i have a situation. I graduated on dec 2014. work about 1 year and recently got retrenched (May). after a month of searching for a job and went for several interviews, i finally secured a job but not as engineer but as process admin.

tomorrow i have been scheduled to come to the office and sign the offer letter (work start on 1st august). but the problem is, in between i went for a another interview (shell SBOKL). and the result would prolly be out around next week. should i come to office and be honest about my situation? or should i just say something else

Yeah, V11, saw mail memo from Technip on Pokemon, this thing really give impact, waiting if my company will come out memo as well, haha

Shell SBOKL is diff from SMT or SMEP.... SBOKL is Business shared service centre.... no technical or engineering dept

I was wondering too..Shell SSB hiring is very slow/almost non-existent. ..

anyone here working in bp shared service centre yo!

Friend used to work there, not sure if he was let go or left.

Not much new projects in the horizon for Oil and Gas in Malaysia.
All big projects are on-going. Nothing much to bid for service.

They are downstream project, but cannot expect Upstream salary rate for downstream ehehehehe need to readjust kesyukuran level ehehehehe

Pokemon-Go is a good thing what, boleh exercise hehehehe

Deepwater Metro I moving to PETRONAS well

actually i dont understand why ppl always thinking that upstream engineer earning more....not everyone in Upstream will travel to offshore and get offshore allowance.... those onshore engineers.... gaji also like DS engineers....

Malaysia blom available.
Ada dah install pkai apk but failed to play.

I'm not quite understand categorization of the working ppl in term of upstream and downstream..

if working with operating company, for me yes, quite clear...

but let say for consultant company, Technip, Aker, SKP TLO, is there also division for upstream and downstream? I mean, formally/officially.

I know last time onshore engineers in TLO have either domestic or International project division.

Also for FPSO, they are consider as upstream? operations (US), Onshore Engineers (DS)?

Consultants will have division for upstream and downstream... TLO is an offshore contractor for T&I works.. Aker Malaysia only does upstream (subsea and engineering works).

I see. Coz my friend is NA in SKP under international project (now I think now combined domestic & international) and another one is NA with Aker KL.
Not aware that they are classified either  under US or DS..

unconventional oils like heavy oil or shale oil are DS....although they are drilling on land...it's DS....

Any extraction activities of hydrocarbon although its on the land is Upstream

Yes correct.. I tink Sukhoi is confused.

Block J? That is for Petronas Carigali Brunei deepwater isnt it? That block JV with Murphy Oil and PetroleumBrunei (PB).

Kalau saya salah tolong jolokkan.

As for me, fresh grad work around 10 months as engineer then was laid off. I realize the market is very tight. So i look out for other opportunities such as doing business dev/procurement but still in oil and gas industry. just at the moment try to be positive and take any job. As for me, i just want to polish my non technical area first, then after the market is okay. i will try to search for an engineer position again.

Contract & Procurement is good if only you involved in a projects. Trust me, I know.

Well Done Bro. Keep that spirit. Good luck.

I have a friend (American) that been laid off more than one year now. Divorced after he been laid off. Now working all sort of works just to keep him busy and for his family (2 kids).

I got laid off..again after a year. This time by a T&I Contractor due to cash flow problem and unable to receive further funds from the bank.

Previously I was with an EPC Consultant in KL. I feel like giving up with the industry.

Procurement is good-  it will help you back once you are an engineer..Trust me.

Actually I always wondered what skills/development does a procurement role give?

Dont just stuck doing procurement roles only, must diversified doing Contract (QS) roles too. Else it will be a boring mundane career progression.

ConocoPhillips to Lay Off Another 1,000 Energy Workers

ConocoPhillips, one of the largest U.S. shale producers, is cutting another 6% of its workforce.

The Houston-based company confirmed Thursday that it will lay off about 1,000 employees this year, mostly from North American energy jobs in the U.S. and Canada. The cuts were outlined in a meeting with management Thursday.

Hundreds of employees will be laid off in Texas, where much of ConocoPhillips's shale oil-and-gas operations are focused, while as many as 300 job cuts will come in Calgary, Alberta, out of its oil-sands division, sources familiar with the matter said.

"We have taken several steps as a company to adapt to lower and more volatile prices and strengthen our position coming out of the downturn," said Daren Beaudo, a spokesman for the company. "Over the past couple years, we've significantly reduced our capital activities and finished some major projects, which left us with more organizational capacity than we need."

Also this week, Royal Dutch Shell PLC laid off 190 offshore workers from its deep water Gulf of Mexico operations, or roughly 25% of that division. The cuts were part of Shell's previously announced plan to trim 2,200 positions globally this year, said Kimberly Windon, a company spokeswoman.

"We are making these changes in order to remain competitive and better position Shell's Gulf of Mexico projects for future growth," she said.

Halliburton Sheds More Jobs, Looks to North America Recovery

Halliburton Co. cut another 5,000 jobs in the second quarter as it positioned itself for a recovery in North America in the second half of the year.

The world’s largest provider of hydraulic-fracturing work reported a loss of $3.21 billion, or $3.73 a share, compared with net income of $54 million, or 6 cents, a year earlier, according to a statement Wednesday. Excluding certain items, the loss was 14 cents a share, better than the 19-cent average loss of 38 analysts’ estimates compiled by Bloomberg. More than a third of the company’s workforce has been eliminated since the downturn began in late 2014.

"We believe the North America market has turned," Chief Executive Officer Dave Lesar said in the statement. "We expect to see a modest uptick in rig count during the second half of the year."


Lesar’s prediction in April that the U.S. rig count would bottom out in the second quarter has so far proved true. As rigs become more efficient, U.S. explorers will need less than half the rigs they used during the last peak, President Jeff Miller told analysts and investors Wednesday on a conference call, adding that "900 is the new 2,000."

Staff Cuts

The company cut nearly 9 percent from from its global headcount in the second quarter, leaving staff at 50,000, Emily Mir, a spokeswoman, wrote in an e-mail.

Halliburton, which generates nearly half its sales from the U.S. and Canada, reported a North American operating loss of 8.2 percent, more than triple its first quarter drop. Sales dropped 43 percent compared with a year earlier.

The company expects to stem the losses in North America and break even by the first quarter of next year, Chief Financial Officer Mark McCollum said on the call. He also forecast that the operating loss margin should improve by 100 to 200 basis points in the third quarter.


"Price negotiations have been a bar-room brawl," Miller said. "In certain situations, as we’ve seen signs of recovery, we’ve elected to walk away from money-losing jobs in recent months."

"I don’t think many people had high expectations for the second quarter, given that even in the quarter the rig count was still dropping," said Rob Desai, an analyst at Edward Jones in St. Louis who rates the shares a buy and owns none. "The outlook was the most important thing."

Halliburton fell 1.8 percent to $44.39 at 12:03 p.m. in New York along with other oilfield contractors.

Spending Cuts

The first three months of the year finally saw all four of the world’s biggest oil services providers move into the red in North America. To survive the worst oil market downturn in a generation, explorers have slashed spending by half in the region. Halliburton is about halfway to its goal of cutting $1 billion in its annual costs, which is expected to be achieved by the end of the year, Miller said.

In May, Halliburton called off a $28 billion merger with Baker Hughes Inc. after facing resistance from regulators in the U.S. and Europe over antitrust concerns. The company paid Baker Hughes a $3.5 billion breakup fee during the second quarter.

Halliburton took a promissory note from "its primary customer" in Venezuela in exchange for $200 million of outstanding trade receivables, according to the statement.

McCollum said at an investor conference last month that the company has a "need to really hit the brakes" in Venezuela because it’s not getting paid for the work being done there. The company said in May the amount it was owed in the country rose 7.4 percent in the first quarter to $756 million.

Schlumberger Ltd., the biggest oil services provider, is scheduled to report second-quarter results on Thursday.
