I heard this as well. It is prudent to diversify their expat nationalities instead of just relying on India only. DEI?

I think more than 70% of the country immigrant is of indian ethnicity. Not being racist but everyone should have equal opportunity.

Qatari doesnt take up job as contractor anyway

Bumi Armada is going on a hiring spree for multiple short-term Senior Engineering roles in the following disciplines:

Marine
Technical Safety
Structural
Project
Mechanical
Electrical
Commissioning

I wonder what's cooking there. Most likely given the short-term nature and they are looking for people with FPSO experience, it seems like they're working on a paid FEED. Is it for Tuna or Tangkulo or something in the North Sea (Cambo) or something else entirely?

yes the business badly affected this year.. Rumors due to Donald Trump - wind energy is affected.

Bumi is definitely chasing Tangkulo, which - I understand - will be a parallel paid FEED leading to the bigger prize.

Do the major O&G company practices hybrid working system? Seems like Shell employees enjoy such benefit of working from home 2-3 days a week.

Yes they do..max 2 days WFH is average

these days most has back to office, except few.. Shell, SBM.. who are still enjoying 2days of WFH..

Seems you're on the money, they're facing off against Yinson. Any idea if Yinson really has the appetite and capacity? Seems like a lot of project start ups recently.

Nice, friend in shell said incoming another wave of lay-off. Some team already been dissolved, some left hanging whether still have jobs or not after dec. Some new hire some more. Kesian.

Shell recently finished Rosmari but it isnt such a big development.

Saw T7 alposted hiring for FPSO/FPU pmt. Anyone knows what project?

Sepat

Petronas first round MSS completed, anyone know anybody impacted? I saw people posting on social media they took "voluntary early retirement", how creative!

Yinson management stand by their model of having three FPSO jobs on the go at the time. Last I heard was that they were optimistic re Tangkulo

Has T7 def got Sepat floater job?

Tangkulo still in FEED kan? Still some time before the go ahead .

Thanks for the update. Yinson is apparently out of the running for poss replacement for Kikeh FPSO - unsure how long Y might want to wait if the Tangkulo tender becomes prolonged...

Updated - a colleague said he thinks both Yinson and Bumi Armada have been issued with limited notices to proceed on Tangkulo FPSO

Should be competitive FEED + bidding..
