::mending the broken pieces of my life::

it has been 3 weeks im doing my internship training with PCSB,SKO.(for those who doesnt know, it stands for PETRONAS CARIGALI SARAWAK OPERATIONS).

m attached at Well Integrity Engineering Dept..or in short BWE dept..

like many, i was puzzled with what does that crap BWE stands for…what i need to do, n what will i learn there…

when i first came to work, i have this proud feeling when i walked into the entrance door of PETRONAS  main building. yeala…not everyone afford to work with petronas la kan..n PETRONAS itself is a huge name..(though m only an intern).

i was mesmerized with the scenery of engineers(wearing coverall),corporate people and contractors walking in and out of the building.some more  i noticed quite a number of hot chix or hot engineers(engineer make it sounds sizzling i guess), and for sure hot mom with thick make up and heels…i was ecstatic.ho yeah2~~the adrenaline rushing fast throughout my body..(hahahah)

however, my dream was crashed when i was told my department office is located at the old block 800metres from the main building.isolated.

nevertheless, my colleagues, mainly consist of very young engineers(most of them r utp graduates,which makes my life easier),old utp interns, 2 clerks,n a secretary r very friendly and helpful..n i feel at home.

let me brief u a bit on wut my dept is doing. (i might be speaking GERMAN to some people, but just pretend u understand ok)..=p

well integrity is basically a petroleum engineering department where it deals with well services. in simple language, my department main job is to make sure every oil well in Miri is producing oil. so we have to do anything and everything to ensure the oil is producing and wont be finished until its time.

i am assigned to get in charge of the operations on the balingian cluster. under this balingian cluster, there are 4 fields (temana,D18,Bayan,D35) and under this specific oild fields, there are many wells…it sounds huge isnt it…and it does huge man..due to the constraint of the engineers, we interns have to do the real job of the real engineers. it is a big responsiblity man.but i am excited…hehe

so for this first month..all i need to do is study. many things are so new to me as my background is civil engineering and this petroleum things never crossed any of my syllabus. so i came across the terms like reservoir,wireline,watercut,wellhead etc in which is very GERMAN to a civil student like me. luckily, the engineers,the old trainees are so nice that they conducted classes for us.

every morning at 730, we have to attend morning meeting. there we meet with our clients.(slb,BJ,TC,AMSITO,DELCOM) i was surprised even the engineer from schlumberger is UTP graduate and by chance i knew this lady. haahahah..it makes our life even easier..all over the place are utp graduates here in SKO…it looks like, UTP never get apart form the O&G industry.

the first meeting was a messed. i was lost.but i got to catch up each days…and to my surprised, on the second week, we were brought to BJ meeting..omg…its huge…one good thing is, i got to expand the network.not only within the PETRONAS, but of coz with our clients as well.( here, u dun have to call the old timer, abg,uncle,mr or encik..we call them by their own name and it is cool man)

but not everyday is a new day…there was a day that i spent the whole day, sleeping,watching series or counting time for the lunch.(lunch at 12-1)…there were times that i felt so bored…(i was assigned the task to study as much as i can about the operation and petroleum engineering and will be tested in 2 weeks time, but it is a long period to go, i can always handle last minit man…heheh..)

i go back iat 430 in the evening…and i go to sleep at 10 everyday( awalkan…but now i understand y working people sleep early..bcoz WE r tired ..=p)…and the routine goes again..and again..everyday…

no wonder, when u work, u’ll appreciate ur student life more than anyone else…n i did miss my uni life…=(
