Bidding for FEED closed. Not yet awarded.

Company bodoh saja yg bite the fingers that feed them!

This B14 operator is SapuraOMV, isn't it?

This is another potential new mega CPP topside in the making, probably 2 CPPs.

No sane operators will ever want to have any more business with any companies that drag them to the courts.

That bodoh company just burnt the bridge with Petronas. Dumb CEO and Board of Directors.

Tarpon is a one off platform design, very rigid and can’t cater for future extensions on the topside.

Any future additions to the platform will render the design useless.

You save money in CAPEX, but later OPEX will be costly.

And it is not a new technology.

I wonder whether the field has high CO2 issues.

BEM functions are similar to other professional regulatory bodies like Malaysia Medical Council MMC, Bar Council, APAM, etc. They would act if there are complaints made against their members. They are not equipped to police the public.

AKER

I think the topside had been designed to be relocatable; it's quite straight forward, just cut off the legs that are welded to the piles. The key item is the barge crane availability (and cost). My guess is the topside lift weight is less than 300 MT and therefore Asian Hercules could easily lift it off the jacket.

But I didnt see any transportation barge nearby in the photos. How did they transport the topside to Jitang? What happened to the jacket?

Way back in the 90's when the now defunct Sime Darby Engineering owned the TEluk Ramunia yard, the kampung folks at Teluk Ramunia were living a simple life. And they will soon be jutawans! Rezeki depa laa...

The HK investors are busy participating in the public protests on HK streets now.

Plenty of jobs advertised for Sapura Fabricator.

Check out in LinkedIn.

More than a decade ago, I worked on a project for Qatar Petroleum. Technicallly the design was a typical conventional wellhead platforms with some brownfield works due to new tie ins. But the Indian dominated QP PMT made the engineering phase a complicated and heart wrenching one with their unreasonable demands. I never wanted to work for any more projects with QP nor do I want to work with QP! Bangsat group of Indians.

Yes.

Hot rumours today; that giant American oil company is looking for a buyer for its Malaysian assets.

The veterans are looking forward for the sell off. VSS is on the horizon! But no buyer yet!

ExxonMobil is focusing on its giant oil field offshore Guyana. Conservative estimate is 3 billion barrel of oil for them to harvest!

I worked on Larut platform development way back in the mid 90s. The 90s were the glory days for EPMI.

Looking back, oil&gas business was busy when the Asian financial crisis hit the region. While the onshore construction activities almost came to a halt and people were being retrenched from their jobs, we were busy working long hours on offshore platforms’ developments.

Unavoidably the end will come for those business units when the buyer is found.
