Static Frequency Converter at FPSOBUK

Salam and very good day,


Dear Readers,


After a long pause, I came back to the blogging with one of my project title for this year...:). Actually, I have many others task than this project. However, this project looks like always in the spotlight of management...probably due to its high capital cost. Spending day by days of my working hours for this project makes me neglected another task as Electrical Maintenance Engineer for beloved ABU, Penara & North Lukut platforms. Sometimes, I am quite sad because I am spending too much time for Bunga Kertas, not for my own location at either ABU or Penara or North Lukut. After thinking in totality, whatever it is, it still company investment money that I have ownership to take care.


At the beginning of handling this project, I acted like a passenger or co-pilot, follow the flow. But one day, my FOM, En KZ came to my workstation, having a small chit chat on the project. He said I need to be more proactive in driving this project. His remarks made me realized that I need to do something.....but I still did not do too much, still dependent to other people to drive it. The good thing about it probably, I took proactive action by raising RTS and went to Bunga Kertas for collecting data for Power System & Protection Relay Coordination study. These two studies should be done at the beginning of the project.....not now. Currently, project is in hook-up stage. But what we can do, these two studies have been overlooked by previous team. Thus, we have did reverse engineering part...:). Alhamdulillah, those studies have been completed in last August 2014.


Due to some organization restructure, our asset need to bid farewell to our Asset Head and FOM...it was quite sad occasion for us..:(. I only worked for previous Asset Head & FOM for less than 1 year, but I learnt a lot from both of them.


At the same time, we welcomed our new asset head. New Asset Head is having quite same character with my previous FOM (simple & straight forward person). Probably, because both of them being a boss at very young age. In one occasion, he asked me to attend a meeting in KL during the time I did not want to attend (because it just 2 hours meeting & I need to use evening flight KLIA-Kuantan to go back to Kertih if I attend that meeting...hihi. I was thinking our partner in KL could be our reps). He did not force me to go....but he explained the importance for our company to have reps in that meeting. Realizing on the importance fact after more than 15 minutes discussion with him & my senior, I agreed to attend that meeting because understood the urgency & we did not want to be the stumble block that delay the project.


I always has the attitude of thinking my job less importance than other, probably because I have the mindset whatever production related is important, non-production related is no. 2 priority. However, I think my boss thinks all tasks under his asset are equally important especially if it is about SFC project. One day, I contacted him through whatsapps that I would like to meet him once he has free time for some SFC project discussion. He immediately replied that he was in a meeting, did my issue importance? I replied that my issue is less importance..:). He replied back, let us discuss now & he would like to drop by at my colleague (another project team member) for this discussion. Very positive attitude showed by him. I seldom met boss like him (btw, my previous boss in Miri also like him...:)). Makes me shift paradigm that we have option to do something as per what we want....we are not the follower of flow. Dare to be different than other if the different creates values (Berani untuk jadi berbeza dari orang lain jika sikap itu creates values)

Another thing I learnt in these few days was just highlight the important key things to team members...:). Do not overload their mind with so much info. Before this, I was the person that would like to cc all items to all team members...hihi. This thing probably only applicable to this project because the project come to the end, many team members have been changed & sometimes issue that I brought out is not really relevant to all. As example, I would like to send materials to KSB, I have cc that emailed to all....hrmm...probably better to cc to key personnel only. If rajin, boleh la update status shj to all once everything done smoothly. I don't need to update all problems that have been faced to all, but it good for me to solve it upfront with relevant parties & once solved....update the success to all. 

Ok....that all for tonight. Pray for our success ya...we plan to commission by this 16th Dec.
