Wow, I'm not sure what to say about OGA this year. Quite shocked at the turn-out in terms of visitors and exhibitors.

I think the big names were PBJV, Sapura Energy, McDermott and Technip.

The rest were the 'nuts & bolts' of the industry like equipment suppliers, instrumentation, pumps, valves etc.

I spent almost the whole of yesterday there and despite the low turn-out, I think it was still a somewhat good exhibition. Met some smaller vessel owners which might be good for my ship-broking side.

Some of these guys are only the big timers at conferences/exhibitions.
Otherwise no project haha

To be honest, I'm not sure what is the latest with McDermott and Barakah.

I work for a Shipping Agency and I have approached Barakah many times but they keep saying that whatever they are doing currently is mainly an extension of last year's contracts therefore no opportunity for us to offer our agency/offshore support services because they already have vendors in place. We have also participated in some SWEC bids with Barakah but their payments terms were not acceptable to our upper management.

Sapura, they pretty much swept the floor with the Pan-Malaysia awards didn't they? I hear they got awarded several packages. But apart from that, I think because of their new name, they had to showcase their new identity and brand.

Technip, I guess Malikai was the biggest last year and now Bardegg and Samarang at the tail-end which is quite decent for an industry facing a major slump.

I heard that HESS is exiting Malaysia? Anyone know about this? Apparently they're selling off FSO Bergading and have initiated a 3-5 year plan to eventually exit Malaysia.

T&^%Snip has almost no contracts right now. Samarang, malikai etc all little work. What they need is a full fledged EPCIC contract (new one) which they don't have.
PBJV nothing much going on.

it will pick up, but it will take time.

it will pick up, but NOT at the heights we've seen. in a sense it will go to a normalized range per say 80 which is what most operators are hoping i think.

is it a sunset industry? no. unless some Einstein suddenly poped up tomorrow with new type of fuel, transport mode etc.(now im not saying oil is just used in cars, im just giving an example from the many examples/uses of crude)

Those alternative fuels will be suffering right now coz the original fuel "OIL" is still so cheap.

Those fuels such as solar energy etc will be tough to break even.

Malaysian state-owned energy company Petronas will not proceed with a proposed US$29 billion (RM124 billion) liquefied natural gas (LNG) project in western Canada due to weak global prices, dealing a blow to Canada's ambitions to become a global LNG player.

While Petronas' decision is a blow to the regional economy, industry observers said the move was widely expected given years of delay to the huge project near Prince Rupert in the north of the province of British Columbia.

It is also the latest setback for the country's energy industry, already bruised by international oil firms selling off around US$23 billion in Canadian energy assets this year alone.

Pacific NorthWest LNG was meant to produce 12 megatonnes per year and spur further development of British Columbia's Montney natural gas play in the northeast of the province, Canada's largest shale play.

"We have a window of opportunity to develop B.C.'s LNG industry, but the next several years will be critical," said Gillian Robinson, spokeswoman for the BC LNG Alliance. "We risk losing thousands of jobs and billions of dollars in benefits if B.C. does not have diversified access to markets."

Pacific NorthWest LNG received approval from the Canadian government last year, but Petronas, which has been going through significant cost-cutting, delayed its final investment decision.

The project would have been Petronas' biggest foreign investment and was seen as a sign of Malaysia's global energy ambitions.

The US$29 billion price tag included around US$9 billion for the export terminal, US$5 billion in pipelines, the US$4.4 billion Petronas paid for Progress Energy and its natural gas assets and around US$1.6 billion a year expected to be spent on producing natural gas.

TransCanada Corp, which was contracted to build the pipeline connecting gas wells to the LNG terminal, said it will be reimbursed for costs associated with the project. It had spent US$400 million as of April, spokesman Shawn Howard said.

Petronas had planned to produce its own gas to supply Pacific NorthWest LNG, rather than buying it from other producers, but no LNG demand means firms like Painted Pony Petroleum and Seven Generations Energy will continue to see low gas prices, analysts said.

"The demise of the LNG industry in Western Canada means that Western Canadian gas will largely remain captive to the oversupplied North American market," BMO Capital Markets analyst Randy Ollenberger said in a note.

Of more than a dozen projects proposed for British Columbia, only the US$1.3 billion privately held Woodfibre project has so far been given the green light by its developers.

Last July Royal Dutch Shell and partners pushed back a final investment decision on their proposed LNG Canada project, citing global industry challenges.

Michelle Mungall, British Columbia's energy minister, said she will be calling other LNG companies to reassure them her government is ready to work with them, but B.C. Green Party leader Andrew Weaver released a statement saying the future does not lie in "chasing the fossil fuel economy."

The ruling New Democratic Party, which formally took power this month, is backed by the environmentalist Green Party. Its rise has fuelled uncertainty about energy development in the province.

A spokesman for Canada's Natural Resources Minister Jim Carr, said Petronas' move was a business decision.

Petronas and partners will continue to develop natural gas assets in Canada, Anuar Taib, chairperson of the board of Pacific NorthWest LNG, said in a statement.

"We are disappointed that the extremely challenging environment brought about by the prolonged depressed prices and shifts in the energy industry have led us to this decision," Anuar said.

Well, since the got called for the tender, would that not mean they have the required yard space?

Either way, assuming they DO have the yard space needed, between MMHE and SE which is more likely to win a tender of Pegaga's scope?

yes, but PETRONAS has a national role to help local fabricators build up their capacities. at the end of the day, it will be good to PETRONAS since they will have competitive bids for fabrication of large CPPs.
*
Yes long term good to have a few local bidders.

Also, not to limit jobs to local bidders only as we live in a globalized world.

Imagine if you as OPERATOR is denied global opportunities!

Is this considered a major project? http://www.theedgemarkets.com/article/petr...E2%80%93-report

Also, curious...how many upcoming/pending CPPs are we due to have in coming years, i.e. those in advance stages of planning or confirmed. Off the top of my head, there's Bokor (confirmed) and Pegaga (almost confirm). Anything else? This is a far cry away from 2012-2014 when there were so many planned and in the construction stage.

PETALING JAYA: The arrest of three individuals, including a senior Petronas Carigali Sdn Bhd (PCSB) officer, by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) yesterday followed an internal investigation by the oil and gas company.
PCSB’s parent company Petronas released a statement today confirming the arrests, saying it had filed a complaint with the anti-graft agency after its own investigations into the staff concerned.
“Petronas does not condone nor tolerate any form of misconduct among its employees and contractors, and is extending its fullest cooperation to MACC to further assist in its investigation if necessary,” Petronas said in its statement.
Yesterday, the MACC said it arrested three individuals over suspected graft involving RM23.7 million.
The 45-year-old PCSB officer, who is a project delivery manager, was reportedly detained at his office in Petronas Twin Towers, while the 57-year-old director of a company which had been a contractor for PCSB was arrested at his house in Jalan Cheras.
The third individual, a 28-year-old former PCSB technical assistant, was detained at his home in Puncak Alam.
Meanwhile, today, MACC received a remand order to hold the three men for six days.
The men were believed to have submitted three inflated invoices for a drilling project between April and June 2015.
PCSB had made full payment to the company but no work was ever carried out, MACC had said.
Meanwhile, Petronas emphasised its ongoing efforts to check any form of corruption in its organisation and vast network of services and suppliers.
“Petronas has since 2012 been working closely with the MACC to curb and prevent corruption and misconduct, not just among employees within its group of companies, but also among contractors and third-party service providers.”

Petronas To Lay Off Another 5000 Staff, Taxpayers Will Become 2.1 Million Less 5000

People in the know (in this case they work with Petronas) say that Petronas is planning another round of staff reduction early next year.  Petronas meaning the group.

Its a cost cutting exercise to save Petronas plenty money.

First to go will be about 1000 contract staff, including contractors.

Then that will be followed by up to another 4000 staff at Petronas and its subsidiaries. 

Talk is staff who have worked 5 - 10 years (middle management level?) will be let go. These will be folks in the (up to) RM10,000 salary per month category.

If we take RM10,000 as the average, this exercise will save Petronas over RM40 million per month !! Or RM480 million a year.  Including savings in EPF contributions , staff insurance etc the savings could be RM500 million a year. That is a lot of money.

hmm.gif

PETRONAS has denied this.

The least Syed AKbra could do is to republish their denial.
