So i went to

Trident – 16

(Jack Up rig) which is under Petrofac Ltd on January..
Nature of my job was demobilizing our equipment on board.. the rig will go back to Vietnam to what they do best there. But due to bad weather in Malaysia and in Vietnam, we are stranded there for almost 3 frigging week doing nothing but standby.. I was there with my newly found NAKAMA “Azuree”.. Luckily i was there with a companion.. While we are there, we are required to go to

GSF 136

(another Jack Up rig) under petrofac to do some troubleshooting. It was 2-3 hours ride on a supply boat.. Horrifying but still a good experience for me but not for my nakama.. he is sea sick prone category A.. pity him..

Around a week after i finished it, i was asked to go to

GAIT – 3 Ocean Six

(Work over or a small tender barge) to assist in in installing a DMS (auto tracking antenna) there. It was about a 2-3 day job but in the 3rd day before i went back to labuan, i was asked to go to

Trident – 17

(Jack Up rig) under petronas.. the nature of my job was standby.. standby.. sigh.. (easy money LOL) i was there alone for around 2 weeks.. but i made a hell loads of friends while i was there.. there’s even a karaoke machine inside the galley..

Right now as i speak..or type.. i am on

T-10

(a big tender barge) under petronas.. i was at t-10 before when it was still under Carigali Hess.. the nature of my job right now.. INSTALLATION.. it was hard.. hard.. hard work for me and my colleague “mawardi”.. non stop 3 day work.. we have to assemble the antenna, lay the cables, setup the indoor unit.. we have to use the transfer basket each time we have to work on the platform.. this was only like 30% of hardness.. there was A LOT of problems.. with the rft.. with the booster.. with the mux.. with the interface cable.. with the newbies at NOC.. with the riggers who always ask the same question over and over again.. but again we managed to overcome all of these.. what a feeling.. it’s overwhelming.. a lot has been learned.. and still a lot more to learn..

this conclude all off my work since January 2009..
