Deepwater South East Asia Congress 2009

I just came back from the congress today (Friday). The congress took place for the past few days and as a student, I got to attend the congress for free. hehe....It was held in ParkRoyal Hotel, KL. So, 5 stars hotel, 5 stars venue, and 5 stars food as well. Big thanks to the organizer, Neoventure Corporation for giving me the free pass to join the congress. :)


The venue where the 2-day congress took place.

it was quite a serious and formal occasion, so taking out my camera made me feel quite awkward and embarassed, so just took out a while and snap and quickly put back. hehe...try not to draw too much attention. The pic above is a speaker from Conoco Philips presenting on world deepest TLP(Tension Leg Platform), "Magnolia" project.


Piles of papers, plenty of overwhelming information.


hehe...took a pic while taking a break. :P

Overall, the congress was very fruitful, considering the amount of information obtained. Generally the congress mainly about the latest deepwater technology being developed and used nowadays as the Oil & Gas is now moving towards Deepwater development, especially in Malaysia, one of the frontiers in deepwater market.
The speakers from different countries, companies presented on floating platforms, FLNG development, cementing, AUV usage, pipelines, energy and even corporate lawa issues. During the congress, the thing i thank God was the 8 month internship that I had with MISC Offshore Business Unit as I really learned a lot from there and thanks to the 8 months of training, i was able to understand and absorb what the speakers were talking about. Besides, the intereaction sessions with the industry people were very interesting and beneficial as well. Get to know some people, and understand the demand of the market for freshgraduates, working lifestyles and so on. :D
Thank God for the chance to participate in the event, prayerfully in the future there will be more chances to join this kind of congresses or conferences in order to update and equip myself as well. :D
