Surviving The Current Oil Price Uncertainty

T
he Oil & Gas market has not shown much progress in the past two years since
crude oil prices started to dip in 2014 from a high of over US$100 per barrel to a low
of US$27 a barrel (early 2016).
The price of crude oil price in August 2016, stood at around US$45 per barrel. Given
its volatile nature, no one can really predict if the price will ever go back to over US$100.
Industry players have felt significantly the impact of the lower oil prices. Most have

So how do the industry players or those in the supply


chain respond to CORAL 2.0? What are the challenges
and ways to overcome them?
Bacho shared: “Industry players have been one of
the pillars of our success. We have continued to work
with them to drive industry-wide changes and deliver
innovative actions. Our key partner, MOGSC, acts as
speaker for the industry.
“As CORAL 2.0 involves collaboration with all parties
in the industry, the challenge is to achieve the right
balance between all parties. Hence, we need to agree
on a win-win situation and CORAL 2.0 ensures that we put
in place a strong governance structure to steer, discuss
and reach a consensus before a decision is made in
support of longer term strategic objectives.
“Apart from that, CORAL 2.0 is also spearheading the
implementation of a few ‘nation’s firsts’, which comprise
best practices learnt from other parts of the world. As
that involves a new concept of operation and that is not
familiar to everyone, it takes courage to implement such
new scale changes to the industry.”
According to Bacho, there will be big-scale changes
out of CORAL 2.0. One example is that logistics support
will be run in an integrated manner, unlike that being
run by the PACs individually at present. It is time to
consolidate the logistics to optimise use of assets to serve
the right needs.
Other concepts are Vendor Managed Inventory
(similar to Just-in-Time) to avoid costly overstocking of
inventories and Analytics Value Management, which
involves continuous benchmarking on how to improve
or learn from each other’s best practices.
The whole essence of CORAL 2.0 is making Malaysia
cost competitive and the regional hub for O&G in Asia
Pacific, he said, emphasising that “CORAL 2.0 is not
about squeezing margins and bleeding players but is for
business sustainability for all industry players. We can’t
afford to see any party suffer because of CORAL 2.0”.
CORAL 2.0 encountered challenges, of course.
Bacho said these included players’ response to new
ideas but added that these have been overcome,
noting, “CORAL 2.0 is not about PETRONAS. It’s about
us, the industry. It’s a compelling story. We are all in the to be the new norm in taking us forward, so we will be

System There are two basic types of full-encirclement steel

for Building the defective area by welding two pieces of steel sleeves
longitudinally. The Type B sleeve is welded in the same
manner as the Type A sleeve but, in addition, the ends of
the sleeve are welded circumferentially to the carrier pipe.
This type of repair is capable of repairing leaking defects or
defects that may leak in future because the ends are fillet
welded to the carrier pipe.
Besides welded sleeves, steel clamp repair is another
alternative for repairing corroded steel pipes. Instead of
welding, the sleeves are joined by mechanical fastening.
The operation principle of the previously mentioned repair
systems has proved to be effective by restraining the
corroded section from bulging, hence the reinforcement.
The long-term performance of steel repair systems is a great
advantage which contributes to the relevance of this system
until now.
There are several shortcomings in the repair systems
mentioned. For example, these methods are generally
suitable for straight pipe sections but not for joints or bends.
Besides, welding or clamping of pipelines is bulky, costly and
time consuming especially if the pipelines are underground
[11]. In most cases, heavy machinery is required to perform
this cumbersome job. Furthermore, welding involves hot
work that poses a potential risk of explosion.
So, researchers started looking for alternative repair
systems that were relatively lightweight, easily applicable
and be an effective repair solution.

FIBRE-REINFORCED COMPOSITE REPAIR SYSTEM


The use of fibre-reinforced composite materials to repair
damaged pipelines started in the late 1980s. Since then,
numerous institutions and companies have conducted
their own R&D to develop commercial composite repair
products. The trend is likely to accelerate.
The acceptance of composite based materials as an
alternative to conventional repair materials, is indicated
through the recent development of several codes
and standards, including ASME PCC-2 [12] and ISO/TS
24817 [13]. Both standards recognise composites as a
legitimate repair material. To date, repair systems using
fibre-reinforced composites can be categorised as pre-
cured layered, flexible wet lay-up, pre-impregnated and
split-sleeve systems. Although the products made by
different companies and research institutes have varied

POOR ORGANISATION SAFETY CULTURE AS


COMMON TRAITS OF MAJOR INCIDENTS
There is a similar trait in these two major accidents that

points to organisation safety culture as an underlying cause.
Organisation culture is “how we do things around here” and
it is also “a shared perception of daily practices” (Hofstede,
1997). Meanwhile, organisation safety culture is how safety is
perceived and practised in daily work.
Currently, though oil and gas companies are facing
economic headwinds and taking multiple cost-cutting
measures, organisation safety culture should not be
neglected. Capital projects may be postponed, training
budgets reduced and manpower downsized; however, the
way safety is perceived and practised in daily operations,
should continue to be of the utmost importance in order for
companies to uphold high safety standards.
In fact, poor organisation safety culture is the cause of
many major accidents in the oil and gas industry. It was
also identified as one of the causes in the Columbia space
shuttle disaster in 2003 which killed the seven-member
crew and shook NASA to the core.
Studies on major incidents have established links between
organisation safety culture and major incidents (Hopkins,
2006). Therefore, it is necessary to always improve safety
culture based on the lessons learnt from incidents. Quite

IMPROVING THE SAFETY CULTURE


Other than lessons learnt from incidents, how can companies improve their
safety culture? Fortunately, we don’t need to apply rocket science to find out.
There have been many research works done on the subject of safety culture.
According to Reason (1997), an effective safety culture organisation would
have:
• A transparent and easy-to-access safety information system that collects,
analyses and disseminates information on incidents, near misses and audit
findings;
• A transparent reporting culture where people are prepared to inform any
near misses, errors, mistakes and non-compliance, without fear, irrespective
of rank;
• A culture of trust and accountability throughout the hierarchy, where
people understand the roles and responsibilities towards safety.
• A strong will to continue improving its safety system.
To apply the above points to further improve the organisational safety culture,
leadership and commitment are essential. Leadership is the key to changing
safety culture. Leaders can influence safety through “walk the talk” exemplary
actions. Perception and demonstration of safety behaviours by senior managers
will shape the behaviour of workers and therefore, the safety performance of
the organisation (Clarke, 1999).
Similar emphasis should also be given to supervisory level employees due to
the longer contact time and intermediary role between senior management
and workers at ground level. The synergy between the senior management
and supervisors can play an influential role in moulding the safety behaviour
of the workforce. Frequent and open communications among the managers,
supervisors and shop floor workforce are instrumental to good safety
performance (Parker, et al., 2006).
Assessing the current state of organisation safety culture is beneficial to
identify opportunity for improvement to safety performance. There are various
tools and studies available in the market for this. Parket, et al., (2006) have also
formulated an organisational safety culture maturity framework. Using research
work on oil & gas company executives, they developed and proposed a set of
short cultural descriptors. Companies can use the following sample questions
and descriptors to do a quick assessment of their organisation safety culture
maturity:

In the eyes of • Are individuals blamed? Are faulty machinery and

[Source: Parker, et al., (2006)]

During economic turbulence, other than protecting the thinning bottom


line, companies must pay attention to the health and safety of the stakeholders,
especially employees. The last thing a company needs is having to manage
a crisis due to a major accident as this cost lives and money. Therefore, it is
important that companies commit to their pledges in safety and health policies
and review the business wholesomely, together with the safety and health
management system, before making any drastic change to the organisation.
Any change has to be assessed on its risks. Any change has to be followed
through deeply for a smooth and clear changeover on how routine work is
conducted. A good understanding of the organisation safety culture will enable
a company to grasp, assess and manage the risk of change more effectively.
Open communication and well-informed workforce on safety incident, near-
misses, safety learning and sharing, violations and safety improvement action
will propel the organisation to a higher safety culture maturity.
In a nutshell, cognisance in the organisation safety culture, together with
improvements in procedures and safety systems, will mean improvements in
safety performance. Even though organisation safety culture improvement is
not rocket science, it still requires leadership and commitment to engineer the
change as well as consistent follow-up to sustain the culture. So will oil and gas
companies be able to keep the safety standards and their commitment to
safety when faced with economic challenges? Only time will tell.

LEAN BASICS
The concept of Lean can be summarised
into what I would address as P(3p). The
alphabet P stands for Perfection. Perfection
can be described as the effort of continuous
improvements.
The 3p in parentheses stands for Product,
Process & People. Product is what we want
to achieve or produce at the end of each
process. Process refers to the series of activities
involved in order to achieve a particular end

work with. The key enabler will be focus on performance improvement and
improved efficiency. Lean thinking should start as early as the Front End stage,
when critical decisions are made. At this stage, management control and ease
of change are high while the costs incurred, costs committed and knowledge
applied, are low. Engineers must make the right choices early in the process, to
ensure customer satisfaction and low lifecycle costs.

ELIMINATING WASTE AND CREATING VALUE


To eliminate waste and to create value from the customer’s perspective,
requires close collaboration with the internal and external customer in order to
truly understand what creates the value.
In delivering engineering service, it is important to know what it is that we
can deliver which will create customer value? Time, Cost and Quality are the
3 aspects which form customer value. Apart from knowing what to deliver,
when to deliver and the cost, it is also necessary to understand the needs of
the customer and to make the overall process comfortable for the customer, in
order to create true value.
The objective of Lean is to increase customer value with less effort by
removing the “waste” that the customer is not willing to pay for. In Lean, the
goal is not to run faster, but to run shorter. Eliminating wastage along the process
will make product delivery shorter.
There are 8 categories of waste: Defects, Over-production, Waiting, Non-
Utilised Skill, Transport, Inventory, Movement and Extra-processing.
DOWNTIME. When we talk about waste, we are not referring to people
doing wasteful actions but to the product not being worked on. For example,
a document sitting in a box waiting to be worked on, is non-value added. We
are not talking about people being idle but the product that we are producing,
being “idle”. The waste categories and examples are as below:

Table 1: Waste Categories and Example

CATEGORIES EXAMPLE
Defects Something that renders the product,
unfit for purpose due to poor quality.
Over-production Producing more than the customer
requires, “just in case”, to make up for
poor quality.
Waiting Waiting for materials, equipment,
drawings or for others to complete the
tasks.
Non-utilised skill/Knowledge Under-utilising human skills, talent, and
knowledge. Employees are not fully
engaged to maximise value creation.
Transportation Moving material, information around
between stages in the production
process.
Inventory Keeping more materials than needed
for current process stage.
Movement Physical movement of personnel or
material within a process stage.
Extra-processing Generating more work products or
quality than the customer will pay for.
Exceeds “fit for purpose”.

Typically, 40% to 80% of effort is wasted in terms of a significant amount


of rework, waiting for information and unnecessary bureaucracy. This results
in significant delays in a process (time), wasted time and overruns (cost)
and variable quality and significant reworks (quality), resulting in frustrated
employees, management and customers.

LEAN TRANSFORMATION
Lean Transformation is not just about using new concepts
and tools. It is about changing an organisation’s culture,
thinking and behaviour. The process requires excellent
leadership and a strong vision to be sustainable and
successful. It is a difficult journey but one that is well worth
the effort. Typically, the Lean Transformation process can
be executed in six phases as follows:
1. Call out. This phase is a “defining moment” where overall
lean strategies must be developed. The call out should
be a strong driving message from the topmost level to
everyone. The idea is to instill in every employee the
driving force or purpose for getting Lean.
2. Lean Education. The concept of lean may be new
to some. Lean may be simple but it’s not easy. Basic
education is essential to all. Lean Training sessions have
to be rolled out to provide clear and precise information
on the lean concept. At this stage, it is very important for
managers to play their role well in being the fore-runner
in welcoming the initiative.
3. Value Stream Mapping. This phase is where the visual
representation of workflow and information flow are
developed. The current state and the future state are
charted. The visualisation will help identify the area of
improvements. A Priority List is developed as an action
plan.
4. Initial Lean Projects. In this phase, small projects are
initiated as an improvement initiative. Projects usually
involve a small team (process owner) who will benefit
the most from the process improvement. This phase
also helps to build the comfort level in utilising the lean
tools. The results from these small projects are shared and
demonstrated across the organisation to gain broader
support.
5. Intermediate Lean Projects. Small pockets of Lean will
begin to appear. This will serve to increase the Lean
Appetite and drive the positive momentum. At this phase,
an in-depth lean education is rolled out. The driving force
in the phase one is re-validated.
6. Advanced Lean Projects. After grabbing the “low
hanging fruit”, it now becomes more difficult to squeeze
out simple waste. At this stage, an increase in flow and
capacity should be seen. Savings can be projected on
a larger scale. Major opportunities still remain as the next
action plan. This phase never ends.

ROLE OF AN ENGINEER IN A LEAN


TRANSFORMATION PROCESS
• Engineers should play an effective role in a Lean
Transformation Process. They need to transform
themselves into Lean Thinkers. The optimist – Why is the
glass half full? The pessimist – Why is the glass half empty?
The Lean Engineer – Why is the glass double the size it
should be?
• Engineers must challenge the way they work in order to
eliminate waste and increase customer value.
• The only person who can determine the quality of an
engineer’s work is the internal customer. Engineers should

November 2016 JURUTERA 29


FEATURE

ask: “What do I need to do so that the next person can


do his job? What do I need (i.e. what are my requirements
as an internal customer) in order for me to do my job?
• Engineers should emphasise the usage of visuals rather
than plain reports. Visualisation or workflow, progress
and performance will allow the team to take immediate
corrective action and deliver right the first time as well as
on time just as the disruption surfaces.
• All work needs to be performed in accordance to
a defined standard. Engineers must measure their
performance to identify deviations from the standard
way of working. Performance measurement is used
to understand how to deliver in accordance with the
standard or to improve the standard.
• Identify the root cause of each problem. Instead of
jumping to solutions, an engineer should find the root
cause of the problem and implement a solution to
actually fix the problem.

CONCLUSION
The oil and gas industry will recover from the present
challenges but things will not be the same anymore. With
this understanding, a culture change is a must in order
to remain relevant. The contribution of an engineer is
instrumental in determining the success of this change
initiative. Together we should LEAN forward for a sustained
positive change, and come to grips with a core concept
that embraces and promotes change. "An organisation's
ability to learn, and to translate that learning into action
rapidly, is the ultimate competitive advantage." Jack
Welch (Chemical Engineer and former CEO of GE).

Slope stabilisation is a significant and informative session that benefitted the

Slope stability decreases when slope angle
increases. Underground water plays a major
role in slope failure as it will increase the driving
force by filling previously empty pore spaces
and fractures, adding to the total weight of
the subsoil. Increased pore water pressure in
slopes can also decrease the shear strength
of the slope material. Chemical weathering
slowly weakens slope material, reducing its
shear strength, thus reducing resisting forces.
During the case study sharing session on the
Slope Stability chronological event, Ir. Raftar
thoroughly interpreted the sequences of
slope failure and solutions to slope stability.

frequency, which is shifted by an amount linearly proportional to both the
temperature and strain applied at the scattering location.
Dr Hisham said a particular advantage of optical fibre technology is that
low propagation losses can be obtained with a single-mode optical fibre,
which means the strain can be measured along the full length (up to 10 km)
of a suitably installed optical fibre by attaching a BOTDR analyser at one
end. He further discussed the various types of distributed fibre optic sensing
and gave a comparison of the various strain sensor technologies. C

From the many applications of distributed fibre optic sensing in civil M

engineering for smart infrastructure, the talk focused on tunnel monitoring. Y

Case experiences of tunnel monitoring at London’s Channel Tunnel Rail CM

Link (CTRL) and Singapore’s MRT Circle Line were presented in detail. Other MY

examples of recent implementations of BOTDR/A fibre optic monitoring were CY

National Grid London Cable Replacement Tunnels in the UK, Telecom tunnels CMY

and NATM tunnel of Tokyu Toyoko Line in Japan. Its application in monitoring K

ground movement caused by pipe-jacking was also briefly discussed. These


examples of distributed optical fibre sensing illustrate the advantages of the
technique, compared with conventional instrumentation devices, owing to
its ability to monitor both the overall deformation of the structure and the
detection of local movements such as cracking.
Dr Hisham ended his talk by highlighting issues and challenges faced
in the development of optical fibre sensing technology for civil engineering
application. He fielded several questions from the floor before the talk ended
with a round of applause. The Chairman of TUSTD, Ir. Syed Rajah Hussain
Shaib, presented Dr Hisham with a token of appreciation. n

IEM appeal to members to pay
subscriptions PROMPTLY
S ending reminders to members to pay their annual subscriptions three times annually had been a run of
the mill affair to the membership department of IEM. Each year, the first reminder is sent in the month of June
when subscriptions become overdue while the second and final reminders would be sent in September and November
respectively.

IEM, being a membership driven organization depend heavily on annual subscriptions to finance its operations.
Membership subscriptions make up about 60% of IEM’s annual income. Inability to fully collect the due sums would
greatly hamper the operation of the Institution and the service which it provides to members.

IEM would therefore like to appeal to members to promptly pay their subscriptions to ensure that the Institution would
be able to sustain.

Membership subscription rates of IEM is one of the lowest in comparison to other professional bodies such as doctors,
accountants and architects. Benefits of IEM membership is something that members do not realise or forget as the days
go by.

IEM members enjoy benefits such as reduced rates for attending courses/seminars for their professional development.
Non-members sometimes have to pay more than double the rate of members. The reduced rates enjoyed by members
would be able to encourage their employers to send them for more training which will definitely benefit the engineers.
Comparison of some of the rates can be seen below:

One-Day Course on about 4 activities per week. This is an impressive record
“Maintenance of Lifts RM500 RM300 RM650 compared to other professional bodies and can be even

Besides tangible benefits such as the Bulletin and the


Journal, IEM provides a platform/avenue for members to network during events/activities organized where members
could mingle. This allows transfer of information as well as experience. The network set up can come in handy in times
when a member is in need of advice, business or career opportunities within as well as outside the country.

In addition, IEM would also like to highlight that in accordance with the IEM Constitution and Bylaws, only members of
the Institution are eligible to use the post nominals of F.I.E.M., M.I.E.M., Grad. IEM etc.

IEM’s existence depends on its members and we greatly hope that you will assist us to sustain the Institution set up by our
forefathers for the benefit of all in the engineering profession. It will only cost RM0.40 a day which is less than the price
of a glass of Chinese tea.

IEM has introduced the FULLY-PAID Membership Scheme with effect from 2013. By subscribing to this scheme,
your membership will be:

• IMMUNE to increase in future subscription rates increase


• IMMUNE to inflation
• IMMUNE to increase in rates when you upgrade your membership. YOU WILL NOT NEED TO TOP UP THE
DIFFERENCE WHEN YOU MOVE TO A HIGHER GRADE.
• IMMUNE to interruption in receiving IEM’s services. The IEM Bylaws state that all privileges due to a member
will cease if his subscriptions is not paid by April each year.

Why not take the opportunity to sign up for fully-paid membership now and pay less!!
