In conjunction with Malaysia's 5oth Independence Day, PETRONAS has launched its 50th Merdeka Commemorative Website for its staff. In one of the segments called "Faces of PETRONAS", Projek Tekad's very own Coach Remy (Projek Tekad Pahang) is featured as one of the many faces that have left a foot print of significant contribution, be it to the company or to the community as a whole.

Read on, and you would never have guessed that behind his humble smile is a person who has the passion and determination to seize every chance he gets to give back to the community.

“He represented PRSB and PETRONAS at the 7th European Formation Damage Conference, in Scheveningen, Netherlands in May 2007,” writes nominee Siti Aminah bt Musa, a Petroleum Economist at PETRONAS Carigali Sdn Bhd. “He and his colleague won the Young Professional Contest (YPC) for their paper on Production Profile of Wells Before & After Treatment using the Novel Thermo-Chemical Technique,” she reports.

“I couldn’t believe it,” Remy recalls of their win with an ear-splitting grin. “We were the youngest there, and we won! We were trying very hard not to jump for joy. It was such an amazing experience.” Remy and his colleague, Kamal Rosli had presented a paper on the technology that they had developed with their team under the Solid Deposition Project trademark, which has helped to increase the average yield of all oil wells to up to 50 barrels per day depending on the well. “I had a great team during the execution of this project,” Remy says. “My team leader Mr Jamil Jelani, was also really supportive about the YPC.”
