would be wtf indeed haha. they just finished many platforms in bergading field and if according to their 'planning' they got some 5/6 years of drilling of HPHT wells.

but its planning la, whether they drill or not whole different story.

Naga 8 still at the CPP up to mid next year.

Malaysia/Putrajaya is no Rome, it does not have the same power and influence that Rome had. Else, how do you explain the "force" hiring of Proton Chinese CEO even though Geely only have a miniorty stake? Let me tell you something, if you want investment/money/jobs, you comply with what the investors want.

Let me remind you, the regulation never mentioned that a certain race must dominate 90% or more of the positions. It only mentioned "appropriate level of participation", and 70% is more than appropriate.

sorry, just wanna ask you guys, in the last few months my wife got a few offers from O&G companies, well not offers la, but more to asking if she is interested, but she didnt go for the interviews.

Does this means that O&G companies are doing better now and hiring up people?

thats very broad and vague. but it comes to your own preference and what you want. if you think the offer is good go for it. attending a job IV is never a bad thing on these difficult times.

i think a company will still hire if they need the staff, equally will retrench if they think they can still operate at optimum levels.

i guess the difference will be during good times and bad times is how well you are paid, benefits, work load and etc.

Another potential takeover...



A.P. Moeller-Maersk on track to exit offshore drilling
INTERNATIONAL: Maersk Drilling has now been classified as discontinued operations by parent company A.P. Moeller-Maersk, which aims to have a structural solution in place within the next 12 months.

The move triggered an accounting impairment of USD 1.75 billion. As a result, Maersk Drilling posted a loss of USD 1.67 billion for third quarter 2017. Total revenue was down by 38% to USD 380 million, a fall from USD 733 million one year ago. The rig contractor is just one of three businesses - along with Maersk Oil and Maersk Tankers - that is being discontinued. In A.P. Moeller-Maersk's latest quarterly conference call, CEO Soren Skou declined to comment on news reports a few months back that suggested the firm was in talks with Rowan to sell its drilling business. Maersk Drilling operates a fleet of 23 rigs, comprising 15 jackups, four drillships and four semis.

Someone was asking about IPC...


IPC signs up PV Drilling VI for Malaysia
VIETNAM/MALAYSIA: The contract for a charter of PV Drilling (PVD) jackup PVD VI for a drilling campaign with IPC (ex-Lundin) off Malaysia is understood to have now been signed, according to market sources.

The work scope covers two wells lasting between 60 and 90 days, including mobilisation and demobilisation time. Commencement is scheduled for December 2017, after the rig completes ongoing work with Premier Oil off Vietnam. The IPC scope will keep the rig occupied until around February 2018. PV Drilling VI will then return to Vietnam to undertake work with Rosneft. The latter campaign is scheduled for commencement in second quarter 2018. PVD VI is then free to pursue other opportunities, in particular offshore Vietnam.

thanks.
what do u think about the O&G field in general?
issit better now?

still the same as when the slump started. jobs are there but every client is doing short term campaigns. no more sure shot 2/3 years contract and tenders.

as for job opportunities, its quite the same. more competition but limited openings. but if you are scouted or received a call up, wont hurt to give it a shot.

thanks bro.
appreciate it.
as i informed in my original post, its my wife who got the call up.

freshie didnt receive any call... although i'd submitted plenty

thank you bos meon. youre the best. love you boss

reliable source on the exit plan? i heard they are already going to start the phase 2 nmb execution. main package to be awarded soon. or maybe they can just sell of the assets, wrap up and move back home.

dem... fso mekar bergading oso baru sailout now exit plan already.

they exited indonesia some time ago. i thinkhess footing in SEA is only here. so maybe theres some truth to the exit plan rumors.

i doubt that the exit plan has any bearing. with how the projects are going on. plus its gas that they are awarded to drill develop and produce which has a steadier price. so i guess it wont be any time soon for them to pack up and leave.

on top of that, they are getting killer deals off service, epcc, and drilling contractors with how the oil price is going. so profit is there to be made by them.

Let me guess.....mostly are vacancies in Pengerang.

none from pangerang yet.

Greetings sifus,

Anyone can share their opinions on going back into the OnG field? Received some calls from my previous and also competitor companies for recruitment/interview but I'm having some second thoughts. Current job is considered very secure which worries me going back into the field.

Dont jump. Just stay.
