Training more than 400 future-ready ExxonMobil Malaysia technicians and counting

All EMEPMI management & learners, and INSTEP management gathered virtually to celebrate the successful completion of the technician training programme.

The successful completion of the 40th Intake ExxonMobil Exploration & Production Malaysia Incorporation (EMEPMI) Technician Training Programme is a living testimony of Institut Teknologi Petroleum PETRONAS (INSTEP) brand promise “Experiencing is Enriching”, which passionately transforms the learners’ learning experience and helps our customer & learners realising “what could be” to “what is”.

Especially during this trying time, when all 37 learners were faced with unforeseen challenges of having embarked on Virtual Instructor-Led Training (VILT) after being on campus for around 2 weeks, followed by the declaration of Movement Control Order (MCO) in March.

Ms. Siti Dura, Learning & Operations Support Manager of EMEPMI, was grateful for the swift and thoughtful actions demonstrated by INSTEP during the MCO period.

“The agility demonstrated by INSTEP since March to embark on digital learning and the thoughtful Standard Operating Procedure (SOP), which makes our learners feel safe and cared for on campus are truly well thought of,” exclaimed Ms. Siti Dura, Learning & Operations Support Manager of EMEPMI. Embracing the notion of “Care”, the dedicated and committed INSTEP team always worked round the clock to ensure our learners health and well being are our utmost priority because we care.

(Bottom left) Learners performed hands-on training at practical workshop. (Top right) Social distancing put in place during their post-MCO classroom activities.

The learners underwent 3-month theoretical learning via VILT covering modules such as Exploration & Production, Basic Electrical, Instrumentation and others. Following that, they were split into 3 groups, namely Production, Electrical & Instrumentation and Mechanical, and underwent 5 months of blended virtual and experiential learning (theoretical learning via VILT, hands-on learning at practical workshop and experiential learning at UDTP). Although the 8-month training programme was a challenging learning journey, yet the learners made it a fruitful and memorable one by actively involving themselves in sports activities such as football, futsal, badminton and beach volleyball.

“INSTEP is thankful to have jointly collaborated with EMEPMI and trained more than 400 people, which covers a high percentage of the workforce serving the EMEPMI operations at the moment,” said Mr. Idris Ibrahim, INSTEP Chief Executive Officer, who thanked EMEPMI for their continual trust and confidence in INSTEP.

Mr. Idris Ibrahim, INSTEP Chief Executive Officer, expressed his gratitude for the 12-year strategic partnership between INSTEP and EMEPMI.

INSTEP plays only a small role in training the EMEPMI technicians, but the value channeled to these future-ready workforce is sustainable and continuous, with them translating this value to their workplace, ensuring safety & operational excellence, in turn generating revenue for EMEPMI and the nation as a whole.

Enriching The Lives of Gabonese Young Talents

“We appreciate the time, energy and effort put in training and also the presence of PETRONAS in Gabon. We believe our relationship with PETRONAS will grow.” These powerful words were said by His Excellency Vincent de Paul Massassa, Gabon Minister of Petroleum and Hydrocarbons during the Virtual Closing Ceremony of Customised Training Programme for Gabonese Directorate General of Hydrocarbon (DGH) staff on 22 October 2020.

His Excellency Vincent de Paul Massassa, Gabon Minister of Petroleum and Hydrocarbons, graced his presence to celebrate the successful completion of 10-month Customised Training Programme for Gabonese DGH staff.

As part of PETRONAS’ Production Sharing Contract commitment with Gabonese government in terms of capability building, PETRONAS Carigali Gabon Upstream S.A (PCGUSA) sought after Institut Teknologi Petroleum PETRONAS (INSTEP) and Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS (UTP) expertise in technical training and human capital development. This 10-month customised training programme started from Dec 2019 to Oct 2020 and comprised of 3-month English Communications, 3-month English Technical and 4-month Technical & Non-Technical. The initially planned 2-month On-the-Job Training (OJT) was forced to be cancelled due to the unprecedented situation of the pandemic outbreak.

(Top left) Happy and excited faces when 10 Gabonese learners first arrived at KLCC. (Top right) Classroom training on technical module. (Bottom left) INSTEP Management Team went on-ground to listen to their learning experience. (Bottom right) Experiential learning at INSTEP UDTP.

Safeguarding the Gabonese learners’ safety during the pandemic outbreak, INSTEP readily converted all the face-to-face training programmes into Virtual Instructor-Led Training (VILT), which became the first ever VILT to be successfully delivered to international learners. Even with the absence of 2-month OJT, the learners were still able to understand the upstream and downstream system & operation via experiential learning at INSTEP’s Upstream Downstream Training Plant (UDTP).

Being almost 10,000km away from their country, these 10 young Gabonese’s learning journey was a challenging one, having to adapt in a totally new environment, being far away from family and friends, and even enduring the COVID-19 pandemic situation. “INSTEP remains committed to its duty even despite the COVID-19 restrictions. We’re proud to be the first commission of Gabonese to come to INSTEP and we will bring these values back to our country,” the batch leader, Gildas Noila Moudouma appreciated the dedicated and committed INSTEP team, who worked round the clock to make sure the learners feel comfortable and safe within the campus.

(Left) Learners’ representative, Gildas Noila Moudouma thanked all parties in realising this customised training programme and vowed to contribute to his home country. (Right) Owing to the COVID-19 restriction, the certificate giving ceremony was live broadcasted to the audience from Malaysia and Gabon, together congratulating the learners’ perseverance in completing this 10-month customised training programme.

“We’re proud to have witnessed the completion of the first scholarship programme. After this, more Gabonese will be selected for this world-class opportunity at INSTEP and UTP,” exclaimed Mr. Meor Shahrin Mahmood, the Country Manager of PCGUSA. This is a true testament of PETRONAS’ Statement of Purpose, which PETRONAS continuously enriches the lives of Gabonese for their sustainable future.

Supporting PETRONAS’ growth agenda in the international arena, INSTEP is always passionate about progress in developing fit-for-future Gabonese workforce and benefitting PETRONAS’ undertakings in the country.

Technology again, proved its magic at times like this, by connecting both countries, separated by 7-hour time zone difference, to virtually witness this milestone.

Saying “NO!” to Carbon Footprint

Representatives from INSTEP, Group Procurement, Group Technical Services, and TNBES gathered together virtually to celebrate this major milestone achieved in SEE CAPEXLESS project.

Moving forward with a stronger commitment to sustainability, Institut Teknologi Petroleum PETRONAS (INSTEP) and TNB Energy Services Sdn Bhd (TNBES) celebrated the official project completion and realisation of Smart Energy Efficiency (SEE) in line with achieving National Agenda overall emission reduction target, while catalysing PETRONAS Sustainability Development Agenda.

This business collaboration effort started from the initiative under Project Delivery and Technology (PD&T) MAGELLAN Project with the main objectives to reduce energy consumption and costs, as well as to contribute to reducing millions tonnes of carbon footprint in order to support National Agenda on climate change.

One of the focus areas is CAPEXLESS High Efficiency Equipment Upgrade. In close collaboration with Group Procurement (GP) and Group Technical Services (GTS), INSTEP is honoured to be chosen as the first pilot OPU in PETRONAS and also in the oil & gas industry for the SEE CAPEXLESS implementation.

“This initiative is in line with INSTEP’s commitment to PETRONAS Sustainability Development Agenda in safeguarding the environment, which features value creation and generates positive impact to our society,” reiterated INSTEP Chief Executive Officer, Idris Ibrahim on INSTEP’s commitment to be a sustainability corroborator in transitioning into green agenda and sustainability space.

The handover of energy audit report which was taken place in Nov 2019, that oversaw the official operationalisation of SEE CAPEXLESS project between INSTEP and TNBES.

Following the Detailed Energy Efficiency Audit at INSTEP in Nov 2019, INSTEP has tapped into TNBES solutions by retrofitting light emitting diode (LED) lighting and high mast lighting in Non-Process Area such as administration, office buildings and street lighting at INSTEP. This collaboration enables INSTEP to save approximately 407,880 kWH per year of energy consumption, thereby reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 283 tonnes.

“This collaboration is seen as another significant collaboration between GLCs to boost efforts towards Energy Efficiency and accelerate the growth of Green Energy in Malaysia,” said TNBES Managing Director, Dr. Ir. Ahmad Jaafar Abd Hamid.

Apart from this, INSTEP also previously embarked on food composting, which is a reflection of “from food waste to resources”, and estimated to compost around 36.5 tonnes of food waste annually, contributing to greenhouse gases reduction that is equivalent to what 466 trees can absorb annually. INSTEP will continuously play its active role as the sustainability corroborator in creating sustainable values for all.

All the conventional lightings at 76 INSTEP buildings were replaced with LED lighting and high mast lighting, creating savings of approximately 407,880 kWH per year of energy consumption, thereby reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 283 tonnes.
