India’s state-controlled Oil & Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) is aiming to begin oil production in May from its flagship KG-DWN-98/2 development in the Krishna Godavari basin, off the country’s eastern coast.

ONGC is spending more than $5 billion on developing KG-DWN-98/2’s Cluster-2 region and is “now almost ready to start oil production from May”, ONGC’s offshore director Pankaj Kumar recently said during a television interview in India.

The Cluster-2 development has been hit by multiple delays in the past two years, but Kumar noted that ONGC “continued progress on the deep-water development throughout the Covid lockdown”, which has led to a positive outcome.

Cluster-2’s floating production, storage and offloading vessel contractor, Shapoorji Pallonji Energy (SP Energy), has already confirmed that it “has achieved a significant milestone of hook-up” for the Armada Sterling V FPSO offshore Kakinada.

The floater is owned jointly, with SP Energy holding a 70% stake and Malaysia’s Bumi Armada the remaining 30%.

Not sure about contractors/ service providers, but operators are monitored by the M-unit or the Vietnamese/Siamese equivalent otherwise risk NCR. Special consideration for CAA's/JDA's, mid to top management usually comes from shareholders.

Most of the management, engineers of a particular regional operator in Malaysia are from their home country
They are currently developing a huge greenfield project.. offshore scope, onshore scope, etc.

Their project team.. hmm


Clue: The homegrown operator of one of our neighbours currently pursuing Sarawak gas fields.

That would be for Shell MDS GTL plant at Bintulu.

Got offer to join P for procurement role in Kerteh. Currently im in instrument technical role basically specializing in metering. Need advice and insights from you guys.

Guys, I have a question that perhaps members here can help answer.

We've been hearing from all over the world that the FPSO market is very tight, and that at the moment all the major players have a lot of backlog. I read SBM have 6 project backlog for FPSO. Yinson meanwhile have got 4 (just awarded another in Angola today) with another exclusive discussion, so total 5 potentially.

Where is Bumi Armada in all this? In 2015 they were working on 4 projects simultaneously, since then they only won 1 new project as a minority partner with Shapoorji.

If you see the financials, they have recovered. Is there something wrong with their management, or capability of their workforce?

joining procurement means you won't use your technical knowledge much. i.e. none of those troubleshooting stuff.

procurement personnel that I engage with deals with doing biddings & tenders. ask yourself if you're OK with doing this. if the money is good just go for it, unless passion > money.

At most, expert Procurement with high technical background can go either being a Package Manager for certain projects or Commercial expert on vendor/OEM side.

No package manager in P. Haha

Passion vs money is always debatable. Haha

Yes client side no package manager..
Usually SBM or MISC will have that position..

Yes that correct. Since gulagula is from vendor side, she has experience on technical already

Bumi is very small now compared to many years ago. And the project with SP was won a few years ago, if I'm not mistaken.
Now their project is Caema FPSO, also in Angola.

Anyone has details when is the official start?

MISC no more new project. Haha

She? Hahaha

Baik kau join Yinson or Bumi Armada or MTC Engineering jer sis, if the P rejecting you.

Sis? Ehh.
