Are people attending OGA this year? It is from Wednesday

Need to share this. There is this ex PETRONAS (retired guy) going around promoting Protege program as a "means" for fresh graduates to join the O&G industry. But so many Protege program students (including those from our local Fortune 500 companies) are not given the opportunity to continue after 1 year (i.e. convert to Contract staff or Permanent employment).

Most are being told: This is your last date and need to look for job elsewhere.


I also found out that this did not only include O&G but also other companies including SME whom are using this program as method to get cheap labour (and not pay EPF in many instances). As the program was proposed by the government, the numbers may look encouraging (but the reality says otherwise).

What do you mean the ones that did it abroad? Meaning studied abroad like overseas grads?

There were lots of vendors at OGA this year when I visited a few halls.
Many HSE / Safety vendors also there.

For Operator side, I noticed PETRONAS and PTT.

For EPCC, I did not see any.

For subsurface, there were a few small foreign companies.

Not many students as in past years passing around CV.

One more notable thing, the company PBJV is back with lots of pretty ladies all over

Lang lebah offshore ITB about to release this month

Looks bad.

Certainly invited.
Saipem
Mcdermott with Hyundai or COOEC.

There are three bids or two bids for offshore
One for CPP.
One for LQ and flare
One for Wellhead

Local fabricator SGM told me, invited for all three.
The CPP extended to regional players.

Question mark over whether the other local fabricator is invited for the CPP

Yes, in some form of financial restructuring at the moment.

The onshore scope, dubbed OGP 2 is the biggest of all the contracts.

The onshore FEED has been extended to 29 September 2023. Expect ITB EPCC in November to foreign bidders (Korean, Japanese....).

Yes booming but not sure on the salary there.
The OGP is new plant, known as OGP1.

EPCC is Samsung.

The Engineering completely done outside of Malaysia.

All EPCIC bidders for CPP were informed that the ITT for PTT CPP would be released on last Friday but it has since been delayed by at least 2 weeks.

The earliest an EPCIC award would be in PO stage is somewhere around April 2024.

PET hiring many engineers recently.. and also project management, operations (onshore / offshore) .

For EM, can be the support team but not the local upstream player as they have only 1 ongoing greenfield project (Bindu)

Another one colleague received offer from Qatar Gas..
They are looking high and low for new employees to join their projects.

Especially on the North field projects, onshore, pipelines offshore, offshore compression platforms, etc.

Linkedin.
Mostly getting via Linkedin... or contacts / seniors join those companies.

Ard mid 30's-mid 40's.
12-20 ish years.

Depends on individual CV and experience relevant to the project..

There must be both factors to move.. If there is more on relaxing at current role, maybe better to stay for long term (in the future if your company has VSS / MSS, you can get a big package of few hundred K).
A few of my ex colleagues got big package and settled all their loans (house, car, etc).

Look like those from Aker mostly joined this new company. Somehow it is not a complete merger but most staff of Aker PK and KL (Subsea business) are now part of one subsea.
