winneijay: Hi Rhino,

What About your IT section......

I've got Cisco & Microsoft Certifications.

Thanks

Rhino.5dm:


Sorry, I crashed. Certification and experience in IT networking are equally very important.

If you have what it takes, why not? This is a 15 billion dollars project, big enough to go round.The adverts are going to be on national dailies, so when you come across any; put in your best. Please, don't expect me to be of any help, you just have to come in and compete as a professional against some wizards waiting for similar opportunities. If the vacancies are going to be out and you have the necessary competence for the job, then why would you need me?

CHESSBOARD:

They need you mr informant, You have all these information thus you equally know who employs and how many they employ, you also know that Egina is strickly for Nigerians, Hey dont be Master of all.... if you work in total tell me how u get in.... cos you are telling a fairy tales here. 15 billion big enough to go round, and you forget its just a single fpso with a POB of just 200 x2(b2b) workers, thats maximum of 400 Nigerians, french, chinese, indians,koreans etc or you forgot Egina is part of Akpo field...its good encouraging ppl but not this over hype hope..takia

How e go take benefit d ma 4 street?

Rhino.5dm:
This is the biggest project to be executed in the history of Nigeria and kodus to Jonathan's administration for making it possible.

T[b]he sweetest part of this is, the government zeroed the expatriate quota on this project as part of the MoU to boost local contents i.e. nearly all the manpower and suppliers will be local. Very soon, all the jobless grown folks on nairaland will be no more[/b] (Afam4eva comes to mind)

Rhino.5dm:


You are just too shallow on these things. Single FPSO?? How many were you expecting? 5, 7?? So, the higher the numbers of FPSO the larger the project? Just stop chatting rubbish here. You are talking about those operating the facilities after commissioning? Look, the minimum numbers of people that will be employed either directly or indirectly on this project will be more than 10 000. May be you think operation of FPSO is equivalent to design, engineering and production, right?


Nothing less than 1000 engineers must be employed either directly or indirectly to do the FEED. The fabrication process alone shall employ atleast 5000 work force, from Welders, Fitters, Coating guys, scaffolders, Inspectors, NDT guys, HSE, Sand blasters, Painters, Crane operator, Lifting guys.

Consumables will bring in atleast 500 to 700 [/b]guys. From haulage, suppliers, material inspectors, storage.


[b]Testing and concession will bring in another 1000 of employees.

Loadouts will bring in another 1000.

Medical doctors and nurses ??
Cleaners??
Project management team??
Security and transportation??
Accounting and Logistics??
HR??
You have no knowledge of what you are talking about.

CHESSBOARD:

, How old are you....let me give you an instance, it is the same Hyundai that will build this fpso, [b]d same4 nigerduck [/b]that will do local fabrication, the same bourbon that will do hook-up, these guys have alwyas been there since Akpo, Usan and now Egina...the workforce do not change may be a little addition, so where is 10,000, 1000, 700 etc coming from...all total staff in Usan have been moved to Egina how many do u think will be added
At this point , I have to stop Arguing with you.....You are one these journalist that go about looking for how to sell their books and journals. I have put in 10 good yrs in this company, so am not writing from outside....spent 3 yrs in that same field bro. I will only warn you to stop propagating false info to young Nigerians Agbaya.

oluwabishop: this is nigeria, where d moment u become so plain and truthful, a pack of fundamental pessimists begin taking up arms against u. Much respect to Mr chessboard, but i dunno wich company it is u av spent 10yrs in, buh if dat company is here in nigeria and u ar conversant with wia dse contracts are executed, then u wud know that Akpo and Usan Deepwater FPSO's (Total) was done at Saipem yard Rumuolumeni. Same as Bonga NorthWest(Shell) and presently, a smaller Total project -The Ofon offshore jacket for shallow water platform (abt 50m) is being handled by Saipem. Am at Rumuouleni Base now and i can tell u all dat Ofon Jacket has been Rolled up and entering into final phases of its finish. So we are preparing to start work on Egina late ds year or early next year. Few days ago, it was even in the news dat Saipem won d contract to handle Egina Subsea, i wonda wy u all are battling with Rhino . The guy hasnt said anytin yet dat falls out of place from d info being sent to Saipem yard here, If u may know, project documents and diagrams are alredy flying in to d engineering arms of various departments. U all may ramble here continously while we set to work here and upload u pics wen d job is in progress.

oluwabishop: @okija, gud talk. I ddnt say a word on d 10,000 workforce because i dont av my facts yet, it may be d total number of persons to be involved one way or another ryt frm drilling of the 1st to 5th Egina wells som yrs back, up until d very last man-hour of installation. Like i said, i dont av my facts on workforce yet, buh wat i was aiming to make clear was d claim dat it would all be handled overseas and brought down here as made by one colleague up dere. As for dose ur community friends, i wonder where they were wen Ofon 2 was in serious progress,abi na now dem wake ?. Its all Rolled up now and we await the scaffolders to set up tower so we can go up and complete som touch-up works, i doubt if Company wud take up any workforce now for d sake of Ofon 2., xcept if its sailing out/installation. Buh in essence, i cant wait to have this Ofon jacket out of ds yard and begin work on Egina

[b]As I type this right now, I have one eye on the Saipem EPC contract for Jacket for OFN2. I'm well conversant with your companies job for Total. Infact, i am working on one that you guys are not aware is coming your way soon. (Yeah! It's no secret that you guys are Totals favourite choice for EPCI jobs).

Now lemme ask you, how much new Manpower did Saipem take on for this EPCI Jacket contract? I can tell you now that between Saipem and the other 6 companies that are handling OFN 2 project, you guys didn't mobilize up to 200 additional manpower. You all have your teams in place. Good management allows for some multitasking jobs.

Egina is not gonna be different. I am yet to get my hands on the strategy adopted for the Egina project, but if my experience is anything to go by, they would do the same thing they have always done with other projects.. USAN project has been sold off so the staff that worked on that have all been reassigned to Egina.

Don't worry abut that meeting.. Saipem offered only 20 very non technical/ critical jobs to the community. Infact, Saipem offered the highest. The others were offering as low as 6 spots.

Again I say this, Local content in Nigeria simply means more money for NAPIMS.[/b]

The Usan project has involved an unprecedented level of Nigerian local content, with over 500,000 engineering man-hours and 14 million construction and installation man-hours performed in
Nigeria. FPSO construction included an offshore integration of 3,500 tons of locally fabricated structures. In addition, large-scale training and capacity building programs were put in place, raising the skills of the local workforce to the benefit of future projects.

I have been very polite with you, but don't make things difficult for yourself by writing things you don't know. When you are ignorant about things, sealing up your lips will be the best thing to do.



http://www.total.com/en/about-total/news/news-940500.html&idActu=2757

Do you know what is 14 million man-hours?. We are talking about individual working on 60 hours per week maximum or 180 hours per month or 1980 hours per year (removing 30 days vacation). By this flow, 1000 people can work maximum of 1.98 millions man -hours in year, assuming there's no national holidays like Christmas and New Year breaks, independence day, Esther breaks, Sallah breaks, Democracy Day, Children's Day, Workers Day and LTI(Loss Time and Injuries). Here I was thinking you know better than that goat lying and mouthing about things he can only see in his dream.


Saipem offered 20 non technical jobs to the community?. Where did you get that bullshít from? Do you have any facts to back up that nonsense you wrote? Imagine someone arguing with me writing this rubbish? smh!

Here are small groups of non technical slots that are sole rights of the community.
All the helper slots are given to the community, all cleaners are from the community, all people working in canteen are from the community. Don't be silly!

I will politely have to ask you to shut the fuccck up!

oluwabishop: @okija, gud talk. I ddnt say a word on d 10,000 workforce because i dont av my facts yet, it may be d total number of persons to be involved one way or another ryt frm drilling of the 1st to 5th Egina wells som yrs back, up until d very last man-hour of installation.

“Egina is the second development of the OML 130 license.
Following Akpo, which was brought on stream in 2009, it will add
significant value to the partnership. With more than 21 million man-hours of local work, the project will make a material contribution to the development of Nigerian economy.

Like i said, i dont av my facts on workforce yet, buh wat i was aiming to make clear was d claim dat it would all be handled overseas and brought down here as made by one colleague up dere.

Here is what I can post here from a public source.



I really hope that clowns called Okija_Juju understands what is 21 million man-hours?




Ofon 2 is a small jacket and I wonder if I should classified it as real jacket. Just 42 meters jacket length.

The loadouts of USAN FPSO piles from your yard was a trauma to behold and record breaking. It was Saipem 3000 or Saipem 7000 I think that did the installation.Nothing of such was ever done before on the soil of Africa. I remembered telling myself, here comes the monster.

Please, I beg of you to stop taking clowns on nairaland serious. Some of them even claimed to have first class from Harvard and MIT or studying medicine in Princeton , while others claimed to be riding Range Rover 2015 model. Some said they are billionaires and landlords in VGC and Lekki , Nothing way my eyes never read on this site oooo. Lol.

I shall be coming to your yard when activities are in full gear, second quarter of next year. So long bro!

Okija_juju:


Rhino..

Wether you are polite or not... That na for your pocket.

14 million man-hours performed locally. Well said. How does that translate to 14million local content man hours.. .

Yeah! The cleaner slots were given to community.. But guess what? Community don't want such jobs. And it goes without saying that experts don't work as cleaners. Community even wants to start recruiting experts sef. Yup! That's was part of their demands during the last negotiations for Installation for OFN2 to continue.

Again sir.. I really don't care how nice you are to whoever.. Chessboard and I have just said what we have seen from the inside.. You are just trying to shove newspaper articles down our throats. I will try and get a copy of the Egina strategy. But as it stands now, Total isn't recruiting.. Not for Egina, not for Ofon and not for its other projects except exparts and service contract local personal for non key positions.

And before you lose sight of the purpose on here, this is for NAPIMS to be placed under fire, not to exchange words with you. I am also affected by this local content nonsense. You do not want to know what outsourcing has subjected Nigerian workers to. Local content does not work. #Fact. All NAPIMS are interested in is foreign trips and the estacodes that come with them. How to make money for themselves. It's not a secret that Exparts are hired to do jobs that Nigerians can do. Infact SSCE holders can do.

I'm done with this thread.. I have a family to feed. The day we stop politicising every topic and calling out things the way they are on ground, then maybe we would start having hope in this country..

Rhino.5dm:


The EGINA project is going to be different, so just keep your fingers crossed.




That's wrong of you to say. I know more than 50 welders and fitters from that community earning between 350k to 400k monthly during USAN project. How can a youth with little vocational skills from a community won't be empowered after receiving 350k for 4 years?




Are you more critical of this administration than me? I never thought I'll have any reason to commend this government. But I'm a fuccking realist and I like calling a spade a spade.



Bros, there's a newly established local content department carved out of nnpc, so NAPIMS don't have the mandate of checking if our local contents laws are breached. From what I can say, they are serious and let us keep encouraging them to say the least. After witnessing them doing physical head counts in a project am currently on, I knew something is burning fast. My boss, a French man had prepared their packages, thinking they are house committee members that can be bribed, was shocked when they demanded for organization charts and demanded to see all the local guys on the project physically. They did small calculation and ask my boss why are the locals not 95% as agreed and why are the locals not mounting key positions. I witnessed this drama live! Presently, all companies are becoming jittery about bringing in expatriates anyhow.





Again, I'm more critical of Jonathan than you, so I should be the last person to support any corruption from PDP-led government. I'll personally break the news if I see anything going wrong.

So long bro, have a good day.
