patutla rasa x sedap hati

people, for the sake of fame, will always wanna claim success, even they dont contribute to the success pun. haih

Opshore

so, what's like to stay offshore?

it's like going on a paid vacation :D

depend on where u stay, platform, rig or barge. u'll provide with a room; air-cond of course. like myself since i'm a lady, i normally get privileged to stay in 1 man room or 2-men room with attached bathroom[this's to save POB, of course].

plenty of meals provided-normally it'll b : breakfast-snack-lunch-snack-dinner-supper.

however, the meals timing might be different. example, in the rig i'm staying now, the lunch is at 10.30 am? WHATTT? so, fret not in case u missed ur breakfast :)

laundry is tip-top. just make sure u put ur dirty cloth in laundry bag provided and in half a day, u'll get ur cloth cleaned.

internet- haa, as far as where i had been sent, most of the time, internet speed is not on your side[unless u r provided with VSAT like some service/operating company].

phone-most of the platform&rig dont allow for handphones. u can bring one if u r on a barge/vessels.  so, most of the time i'll inform my parents beforehand on how long i might be staying offshore&where i'm staying and will email them when i first reach offshore.  at least they know i'm safe.  papa has this ship GPS apps installed in his phone. so, he pretty much know my whereabouts and weather condition over there.

what exactly you are doing offshore?

my real job's name is Production Technologist(PT). i seldom mention my real job's name cos it'll just invite more question.

ok, back to the question.  as a PT, when i go offshore, basically i'm supervising execution of jobs that i designed. jobs here mean stimulation, any optimization related to subsurface or downhole.

how long do u stay offshore?

depend on the job.  sometime it takes me only 2 days.  the longest stay that i had was 3 weeks, due to some operational issue.  else, max will be 2 weeks.

that pretty much summed up everything :)

oioi, i miss eating chicken. when in doubt, forget it :D

Frac o frac

the last 24 hours

what am i?

ai neves.

im waiting-waiting for the frac

silent-yeah, basically everybody was like observing moment of silence when the frac commence. 

the tense moment, where the frac engineer had to finalize his design in 30minutes[since the transfer basket already waiting for me-the transporter engineer]. 

the serene moment where we were hung up high in the air[hugging the transfer basket] while the crane operator make decision where to land us down, the tense moment where i had to dealt with 100mbps data transfer. 

its like using old school 1515 dial up. the kalutness moment where i pretty much opened all my emails just to make sure any email can be used to shoot the frac design to town.  

the tense moment when the company asked me to give order to pump the main treatment.

and now, bliss bliss bliss. cold shower just made my day.

alhamdulillah for this great experience. hopefully all is well. insyaAllah.

Gr8ship

aha.somebody is bcoming picky or fussy now.

she can tell whether the towel is absorbing moisture or not, or leaving cotton particles on her skin

this greatship is great as the name implies. am enjoying every moment of it. nice shower, nice accompany, nice towel[heh] and nice bed.

yeah, i need to get some rest for the frac job tonite. need to take the usual shots of coffee so that i can survive the waiting hours.

i pray hard that this job will be a smooth and great one. this learning curve, responsibility is what i'm looking for right now.

Had my first basket transfer this evening. While admiring the horizon, I tugged in my hands tightly around the net, and lean my body to the front just to make sure I wont fall off my back.

Then the guys onboard jp bussell screamed, " girls, look here. We gonna take ur pictures".

Haa. I’m pretty quizzed on what they manage to capture. The nervous look? The squinting eyes avoiding the light rays or the ‘hurry get me down look?’. hee

 *****

i put my weight as 60kg on the boarding ticket

but i weighed 58kg when they weight me again at the airport

and now, few days onboard

with the usual local menu-vege vege and vege

and yours truly doesnt take any

i guess i can easily loss another 2-3kg

yippie yeay!

owh did i mention, i reduced my coffee intake?

on record, this is the most unsocial offshore visit that i had

if nothing involve me, i'll just stay in my bunker

and do some reading

i dont care to go down [yet] to the rig floor

perhaps, i'm obeying to the instruction given-go for the frac ONLY
