CPOC – Malaysia Thailand Joint Development Area (MTJDA) • Assigned to ADC, ADE, JKD & JKC wellhead platforms, part of the CPOC Muda Field Development Project Campaign (Phase 6) within the Malaysia–Thailand Joint Development Area. • Monitored drilling parameters, formation cuttings, gas data, and wellbore stability indicators during batch drilling operations for high-pressure gas wells. • Contributed to real-time geological and drilling surveillance using advanced surface logging systems to support safe and efficient well operations. • Assisted in kick detection, formation evaluation, and lag time calibration to ensure operational integrity. • Provided daily geological reports, lithology logs, and abnormality alerts to the drilling supervisor and company man. • Coordinated with wireline, cementing, and casing crews to ensure proper hole condition prior to completion phases. • Participated in HSE programs and safety observation cards (SOC), maintaining full compliance with MTJA and CPOC regulations.

Strategy & Portfolio Asset - Exploration Strategy & Commercial (Upstream) • Organized and participated in high-level strategy discussions such as ‘Exploration Forum’ to align exploration strategies with PETRONAS Upstream's goals. • Evaluated project robustness through Project Technical Screening and contributed to Exploration Capital Allocation (CAL) decisions for dedicated annual funding. • Assessed exploration risks and volumetric estimates, integrating geological and geophysical data to support decision-making for project selection and funding allocation. • Integrated diverse geological and geophysical data sets to build comprehensive subsurface models and improve the understanding of hydrocarbon systems. • Assisted in developing and delivering a comprehensive exploration business plan, ensuring alignment with overall upstream strategy and securing necessary approvals. • Worked closely with key stakeholders (MPM, COE, and Assets) to maintain alignment and drive exploration strategies and projects.

Rare Earth Elements (REE) Project • Conducted detailed assessments of Rare Earth Elements (REE) in geological formations, utilizing advanced analytical techniques and geological mapping. • Collaborated with academic and industry experts to integrate geological and geophysical data, enhancing understanding of REE distribution and mineralization. • Prepared comprehensive reports outlining findings and recommendations for exploration, contributing to strategic decision-making and resource evaluation. • Proficiently utilized GIS software and analytical tools for spatial analysis and modeling of REE occurrences, supporting geological interpretations and planning.

Geotechnical Site Supervisor • Conducted comprehensive site evaluations, emphasizing environmental and regulatory compliance, ensuring project plans validity. • Oversaw soil investigation and slope monitoring activities, ensuring adherence to timelines and quality standards for few construction sites. One of them is TROPICANA Grandhill Twin Pines, Genting Highland. • Conducted Standard Penetration Test (SPT) soil investigations, analyzing geological formations and subsurface characteristics essential for infrastructure design and environmental assessments. • Integrated SPT data with geophysical surveys and laboratory analysis (such as sedimentary facies analysis and mineralogical studies) to evaluate soil stability, groundwater conditions, and environmental impacts for informed decision-making in infrastructure projects. • Implemented rigorous soil examination procedures, providing crucial data for project planning and risk mitigation. • Maintained strong communication with clients, contractors and stakeholders to ensure project alignment and promptly address concerns. • Acquired expertise in Occupational Safety and Health, ensuring a safe working environment.
