Signing of Training Agreement – INSTEP Commitment to Enriching Bruneians’ Lives

Posted date: 24 October 2019

Commemorative moment signified the start of cooperation between INSTEP and BFI.

14 September 2019 marks a major milestone achieved for both Institut Teknologi Petroleum PETRONAS (INSTEP) and Brunei Fertiliser Industries (BFI) at Empire Hotel and Country Club in Jerudong, Brunei. The state-owned BFI inked an agreement with INSTEP for the latter to accelerate Bruneians’ human capital development in supporting the operations and maintenance of Brunei’s new ammonia & urea plant.

Present was Yang Berhormat Dato Seri Setia Doctor Awang Haji Mohd Amin Liew bin Abdullah, Brunei’s Minister at the Prime Minister’s Office and Second Minister of Finance and Economy. The agreement was signed by INSTEP Chief Executive Officer, Idris Ibrahim, and BFI Chief Executive Officer, Mohammed S Baderkhan. This signing ceremony signifies the start of cooperation in the area of technical training and capability building for operations & maintenance of Brunei’s urea & ammonia plant.

Prior to this project coming onstream in 2021, 149 learners will undergo 6-month customised training programme in five trades, namely Operations, Laboratory, Mechanical (Static & Rotating), Electrical, and Instrumentation. Upon successful completion of the training programme, the learners will be awarded full-time employment with BFI before the company commences its operations.

BFI learners were excitedly anticipating to embark on their transformational learning experience at INSTEP starting from Oct 2019 onwards!

As part of Brunei’s effort to diversify economy through expanding value creation of the oil & gas industry, this project is one of the two largest downstream oil & gas projects in Brunei. Once operational, the plant will produce 2,200 tonnes of ammonia and 3,900 tonnes of urea every day using the large natural gas reserves to help create high-quality nitrogen fertiliser for export.  

BFI delegates were amazed by the world class facilities at INSTEP during the campus tour.

Embracing our winning aspiration – “A progressive solutions partner enriching energy workforce for a sustainable future,” INSTEP is trusted to play its vital role in developing human capital to operate their asset in Brunei. Through this strategic partnership, INSTEP is committed in accelerating competency development through experiential learning, collaboratively with ASEAN Bintulu Fertiliser (ABF), PETRONAS Fertiliser Kedah (PFK) and Sabah Ammonia Urea (SAMUR), to prepare competent workforce, enriching lives for a sustainable future.
