I wonder MMHE will team up with which consultant for this delicious Lang Lebah EPCI project. It teamed up with TEN for Kasawari Ph 1, but later ditched TEN in favour for Worley for Kasawari Ph 2.

Now S is out of the picture, will PTT invite outside fabricators to bid for this job? Or would PET allow PTT to do that?

For kasawari 1, TEN was partner.
For Kasawari 2, TEN was competitor and won easily by MMHE. For Kasawari 2, PET allowed for foreign bidder (NPCC) but the schedule is not attractive as the platform transport takes between 30-60 days compared to a few days for local transport.

Theres viral post on twitter saying that some PET guys got a bonus of 7 months..
Anyone can verify? For average performance ?

That’s average performance. High flyers could get 12 months.

Im guessing the T&I cost killed the bid for TEN and NPCC.

MMHE been taking all Msian jobs anyway unless one that need more advanced technical expertise such as ZLNG, isnt it.

MMHE not invited for that Z LNG

Hi guys! Would like to ask opinions from the veterans in the OnG industry.

I'll keep it short and be slightly ambiguous to protect my identity. Fresh graduate here ,please ignore my stupid username , I thought it would be funny but I can't change the username now.

To start off ,  I've interned in this industry previously , worked on the EPCIC of the kasawari and jerun projects with the PMT (Subcon) as a PE in the fabrication of CPP jackets. Fell in love with the industry , and had a really great experience during my short tenure. As for the field im in , Im a chemical engineering graduate , looking to get into any position of PD, PMT , or permittance / corporate (Also interested in the business aspect of the industry) .

My graduating CGPA isnt that great nor too bad which is 2nd upper class >3.0 , but I'm under the suspicion that this will hurt my chances in the industry severely if I wanna get into MNCs or GLCs as they're expecting really high pointers (saw one from Sapura , it was mind boggling to see them ask 3.5 above  ) . This is going to sound like an excuse , but my cgpa is the result of my own 'Min Maxing' , I was focusing on other things such as business and entrepreneurship , held managerial positions in supplying , manufacturing and FnB when studying (which I must admit was because I had the privilege to do so but an opportunity I wasn't going to waste) . Built an extensive network my 'extra curricular' business, but before I pull out that card and be called a nepo baby , I want to try this out with my own capabilities.

My question is , how much of a shot do I have in entering the upstream/downstream industry with the experience that I have (PMT and entrepreneurship) even with a mediocre cgpa without entering any protege or trainee programmes. I've basically done the most that I can to make myself stand out from the rest of the crop and I'm prepared to defend that statement as I personally believe i have great skillsets to back that up. How hard is it for a fresh graduate to go 'offshore' , there really isnt any 'guide' per say. Or is this some pipe dream that I have and I should just give up and continue what im doing now. Do companies even bother to look at my previous 'vast' experiences or are they solely filtering out CGPAs.

Basically im trying to get into 'premium' position for fresh graduates , career progression and pay means a lot to me to justify this change of wind.  Would love to hear from you guys , sorry for the long post.

You knew already that to get the “premium” job as a fresh graduate in oil&gas would require a candidate to have super high CGPA. Why don’t you be pragmatic and practical by aiming for a less “premium” job as a start?

If you CGPA is between 3.0 to 3.5, there’s still hope for you to join the consultants. Your prospects will be higher if you apply for oil&gas construction sector or oil&gas services sector.

Actually I laughed my heads off when I read of S looking for fresh graduates with a minimum CGPA of 3.50. I think its mgmt is delusional to think that for a company financially unstable now to have such high ambition to recruit the best fresh graduates in the market. I bet the freshies if they join S, will leave the company after a short stint in the company when they find out how the company is managed.

@Zzmsia, kudos to the straight to the point explanation.

Most note worthy is that tons of people lining up for opportunity in O&G industry from fresh to seasoned exp people.

Start with local companies and move way up would be best choice here.  In 10yrs time, could end up being an expat elsewhere too.

P.s. MMHE has all the jobs in Msia that experience would be to die for esp young engineers.

I suggest: MMHE since you already worked for their subcon before.
Else, you can try consultants such as Worley, Aker, Technip, RNZ, DAR, MMC, etc (Salary will be 3-3.5k).

MMHE is urgently looking for manpower to help them execute their projects. However, as a process engineer your knowledge will not be so strong if you start at a fabricator. (I doubt technical careerpath is what you are looking for - long term). You can try for construction engineer or project engineer..

Was in your position during MCO, no one was hiring that time. Had to jump multiple sector & companies and now in tech field.
Background in Pet Eng too.

But had a friend went to MMHE and he's happy there.
The one's on clients & bigger vendors (SLB/Halliburton) got it through connections.
It is what it is though....
Don't give up. I probably want to go back but I think it'll be as management (have a VP from SLB to tech)
Technip during MCO literally skeleton crew iinm
But thought they all would pay much more than 3.5k 
Esp. Aker

For fresh graduates, 3-200-3-500 per month and mostly did not get proper increment after few years. Need to jump to make it work..
