It's been that way for the past 3 years laaaa....

certain engineering consultants practice 'no-project-no-pay' for contract staff regardless the contract period.

so if someone's contract is 1-year, it is not necessary he will be on pay basis all 1 year. If there is no more project for him to work, the company will ask him to take "unpaid leave" until new project comes in.

it is really employers market now in oil & gas.

Limbayong bid closed last week.

Award is Sept 2019?

Operator will be PCSB, I believe.

Planned award is September 2019. Bid closed only this month, they need time to "carry out" bid evaluations.

Limbayong is in Sabah waters, and I doubt Sabah govt is kacauing this project. The Sarawak and Sabah fabricators were short listed as topsides fabricators, on top of MMHE and Sapura Lumut. In terms of logistics, it makes more sense and more economical for MMHE to undertake both fabricating the topsides and FPSO conversion.

MISC's competitor is one Sabah company SIP.

Limbayong is the oil&gas related new local project this year that has many companies vying for a piece of it. After Kasawari’s disappointment for having to be put on cold storage due to senseless, selfish, self destructive politics.

My source in MISC said Limbayong could be delayed. The economics of the deep water development are good, but there are other matters that needed to be sorted out.

you should be knocking doors of the local fabricators.

sapura is working on one ongc job now, but i believe the LQ will be fabricated by an indian fabricator (designed by AKER KL).

Yes

"Good luck" to Bumi Armada in partnering with an Indian company. It will be a battle of who knows the contracts by heart.

My sources in MISC told me that MISC did not JV with Yinson for Limbayong project. I just didnt bother to correct the article from Upstream Online.

the more reason for the Indian company to dominate Bumi Armada!

we are wondering whether Bumi Armada has any more staff left to carry out the project.

Sapura will only fabricate the CPP topside, jacket and floatover accessories on the barge at its yard in Lumut. Other modules are fabricated by other JV fabricator FCon. there is no space for other structures' fabrication in Lumut since the Penaga CPP structures are already occupying half of the fabrication area. Moreover Sapura is also eyeing topsides from the FPSOs projects, and the upcoming Jerlun CPP.

Recently, Carigali's new WHPs; i.e. Anjung, BokorD & BokorE were loaded-out from Brookeyard. I presume drilling will commence once the platforms are installed.

In a few months, 2 Sapura's WHP and 1 Shell's WHP will be loaded-out from the fab yard. There will be plenty of drilling activities in the next 6-9 months, I presume.

wow dalam oil&gas pun ada orang ini macam?

locals or foreigners?

I heard there were a few key development plans (related to downstream) that had not been finalised when the bid was tendered out.

The worst case scenario, they would just delay the Limbayong award.

2020 Jerlun

Tell the Sarawakian politicians to stop using Kasawari development as a ransom to the Federal govt to demand more from oil&gas in Sarawak.
