Pengalaman pertama interview dengan bahasa asing merupakan pengalaman yang begitu mengasyikan, terlebih perusahaan yang dituju adalah perusahaan multinasional dengan pengalaman yang telah terkenal mendunia. PT Saipem Indonesia, merupakan kontraktor terbesar di dunia industri oil and gas. Bergerak di bidang Engineering, Procurement, Construction Project Management on Offshore and Onshore Facilities. Selain itu PT Saipem Indonesia bergerak di bidang pengeboran dan engineering and construction. Ada yang mengenal perusahaan ini sebagai EPC/EPCI. Berikut kutipan profile company yang diambil dari website http://www.saipem.com/site/home/company/company-profile.html

"Saipem is a global contractor, with strong local presence in strategic and emerging areas such as West Africa, North Africa, FSU, Central Asia, Middle East, and South East Asia. Saipem is a truly international company. Along with its strong European content, the major part of its human resource base comes from developing Countries. Saipem employs over 48,000 people comprising more than 127 nationalities. In addition to the strong local content of its people, it employs large numbers of people from the most cost-effective developing countries on its vessels and sites, and has sizeable service bases in India, Croatia, Romania and Indonesia. Its clients and people - in particular their health and safety - are the primary focus of all Saipem activity. Saipem has a distinctive Health & Safety Environment Management System and its Quality Management System has been granted ISO 9001:2000 certification by Lloyd's Register Certification.

History

Saipem is now a world leader in the oil & gas contracting services sector, both onshore and offshore. The Company began operations in the ’50s. During the ’50s and ’60s it accumulated competencies in onshore pipelaying, plant construction and drilling, operating initially as a division of Eni and then on a stand-alone basis, becoming definitively autonomous in 1969. Offshore operations commenced in the Mediterranean in the early '60s and expanded to the North Sea in 1972.
The Company started offering its services to customers outside the Eni group in the early ‘60s and progressively widened its customer base to include almost all the supermajors, majors, major nationals and independent oil & gas companies worldwide. At the end of the ‘90s with the migration of the business towards deepwater and developing countries, Saipem has carried out an investment plan in order to adjust the capacity of its own naval assets to the ever challenging market conditions. The primary areas of investment include deepwater drilling, deep water field development, pipelay, leased floating production storage and offloading (fpso), and subsea robotics. Saipem has led the trend in boosting local content by developing impressive facilities in West Africa and the FSU and in the Middle East by employing a large number of local workers with no equal in the industry. While developing the fleet and the local content, the Company started to reinforce its engineering & project management capabilities to cope with the other important market trend towards large integrated EPCI and EPC projects at first in the offshore activities and later on in the onshore activities. Onshore this was achieved principally through a number of acquisitions, culminating in the acquisition of Bouygues Offshore in 2002.
This was the largest cross-border acquisition in Europe in the oil services sector. Subsequently responding to the recent industry trend towards large onshore EPC projects, including those related to gas monetization, exploitation of difficult oil (heavy oil, tar sands, etc.), and in order to strengthen its position in the Middle East and its national oil company client base, in 2006 Saipem acquired Snamprogetti, one of the major engineering and construction companies active in the international market in the design and execution of large onshore projects for the production and treatment of hydrocarbons and natural gas monetization.

The result has been the creation of an exceptional contractor with a strong bias towards oil & gas related activities in remote areas and deepwater, a leader in the provision of engineering, procurement, project management and construction services with distinctive capabilities in the design and the execution of large-scale offshore and onshore projects, also with high technological competences such as gas monetization and heavy oil exploitation.

Saipem has recently carried out an important investment programme started in 2006 aimed at reinforcing and expanding its drilling and construction fleet and other assets required by projects to back up the local content and in particular state-of-the-art advanced assets designed to meet the challenges of the production and transportation of hydrocarbons in ultra deep waters and in frontier areas.

Saipem has been listed on the Milan Stock Exchange since 1984 (having previously been a wholly owned subsidiary of Eni). Eni currently owns approximately 43% of Saipem

E&C Offshore

The Saipem Group owns a strong, technologically advanced and highly-versatile fleet and world class engineering and project management expertise. These unique capabilities and competences, together with a long-standing presence in strategic frontier markets represent an industrial model that is particularly well suited to EPCI (Engineering, Procurement, Construction, Installation) projects.
Saipem Offshore in the World
Saipem’s renowned offshore construction skill is supported by Company presence spread all around the World, in all 5 continents. Through a vast grid of offices, engineering centres, fabrication yards and logistic bases, Saipem is among the most reliable international Contractors able to cover all aspects of the complex and demanding construction activity at Sea. In this expanding turn-key projects world, Saipem constantly faces the complexity of the offshore developments directly on-site, embracing the oil & gas industry challenging needs with great experience and technical know-how, through Saipem manpower and treasured human resources.

Fields of Activity

Saipem offshore vast spectrum of activities is comprehensive of platforms, marine terminals, pipelines, subsea deep water developments, FPSOs.
Through its absolute turn-key main contractor capability, Saipem is in a position to answer to all the phases of complex epic projects, from the early engineering stage to the fabrication and construction of huge structures and pipelines in all kind of climatic environment, from the harsh arctic areas to the deepest sea floors.
Strengthened by the force of its pioneering roots and ability in keep up with the latest offshore technologies, Saipem continues to respond to the industry’s changing greater demands, consolidating its position, as a truly worldwide global contractor.

Pipelines
Since the late fifties, Saipem has laid more than 28,000 km of pipelines and flowlines in shallow and deepwater areas through its S-lay and recent J-lay technology and state–of- the-art pipelay vessel fleet which is adapting to the evolving market.
EPCI expertise includes the construction of trunklines, export pipelines, infield flowlines, pipe-in-pipe, bundles, tie-in and riser systems, for the transportation of oil, gas and multi-phase products through water depths exceeding 2,000 m.

Subsea Developments
The recent and growing exploitation of deepwater reservoir has taken Saipem to cope with the complex development of subsea deepwater fields. Through it engineering capabilities, ability in managing large offshore EPCI projects and its “ ad-hoc” upgraded vessel fleet, Saipem has been a forerunner in performing several major UFR (Umbilicals, Flowlines, Risers) projects in West Africa and looks ahead to maximize its capabilities in this exclusive and challenging market.

Subsea Construction Services
Saipem also enjoys a strong position in the subsea market, thanks to its use of highly sophisticated technologies, such as subsea ROVs ( Remotely Operated Vehicles) and specially-equipped robots capable of carrying out complex deep-water pipelay operations. For many years Saipem has been developing and operating remotely operated subsea systems, which are the basis for its expansion into subsea field development, remote intervention and inspection, maintenance and repair activities. Its core business can be split into three clear key capabilities:

Subsea Field Development (Subsea Construction, Umbilicals & Small Diameter Pipelines,Trenching, Diving, Positioning & Survey)
ROV and Remote Intervention Systems (Design and Manufacture, Operations, Tooling, Custom Designed Application Subsea Systems
Inspection, Maintenance and Repair ( Subsea Inspection, Subsea & Well Intervention, Pipeline Stabilisation & Repair)

Offshore Structures
Saipem’s consolidated experience installing offshore structures dates back to the Company early steps. Since then, Saipem has installed hundreds platforms mastering both the heavy lift and the float-over techniques and establishing new records for the offshore industry such as the 12,150 t Sabratha deck combined lift in dynamic position performed by the Saipem 7000 in Libya and tne float-over of the 21,800 deck of Lunskoye-A platform, Sakhalin II, in Russia.
The Company enviable track record comprises modular deck drilling and
production platforms, well-head and accommodation platforms.
Since the ‘70s, Saipem has been also involved in the construction of marine
terminals, conventional buoy moorings, jetties and piers.

FPSO (Floating Production Storage and Offloading)
FPSO (Floating Production Storage and Offloading) units are part of Saipem’s Offshore Construction line of products, both as newbuilts delivered turnkey to the customer, and as tanker conversions leased to and operated for the customer.
Saipem’s track record for newbuilt FPSOs includes the participation in the Girassol FPSO project for Elf Angola, and the EPCI of the Erha FPSO for ExxonMobil Nigeria. The activity in the leased FPSO segment started in 1996 via its involvement in the Aquila FPSO development for Eni in 850 m water depth offshore Italy, and has since gone on to develop FPSOs later leased to Eni for the Okono and the Okpoho fields development off Nigeria and has received further boost by the award of the Golfinho 2 FPSO lease by Petrobras for Brazil and of the Gimboa FPSO lease by Sonangol in Angolan waters.
For an FPSO project, the top level design engineering skills offered by Saipem, the naval architecture competencies of the wholly owned subsidiary Moss Maritime, and the specialised fleet and assets engineering services, are all harnessed together to provide the full spectrum of capabilities needed. Such unique array of complementary capabilities is ready to be further expanded to incorporate Saipem’s know-how, patents and track record in the LNG chain, into the development of floating terminals for the liquefaction of natural gas and load-onto LNG carriers, and for the offloading of LNG carriers and regasification and piping to the shore of liquefied natural gas, like the OLT Livorno FSRU (Floating Storage Regasification Unit) awarded to Saipem, the first regasification unit installed on a ship permanently anchored in open sea.

Focus on Deep, Ultra-Deep Waters

Deep water and ultra-deep water fields development are the offshore oil & gas industry’s newest challenge - and key to its future. Saipem, with its integrated deep water technology development programme is positioned to be a market leader in this sector for many years to come.
Although deep water represents a part of global offshore activity it is without doubt the technological leading edge, and the future prospects are considerable. The Company’s new generation of deep water Vessels Saipem 7000, Saipem FDS, as well as its heavy work class Innovator Rovs and the recent investments, the building of a pipelayer “CastorOne” and of another field development ship, the Saipem FDS 2, have definitively reinforced Saipem role as a front runner in the deep and ultra-deep water fields development and trunklines market, building on integrated approach recognized by industry as necessary to cover both those deep water operations carried out on the surface, and those requiring underwater intervention.
The Present
Within the Group fleet of semi-submersible Vessels, equipped with the state-of-the-art technologies, the most noteworthy is the Saipem 7000, thanks to its dynamic positioning system, 14,000 t lifting capacity and capability to lay subsea pipelines in ultra-deep waters using the “J-lay system”. A significant pipelaying performance of the Saipem 7000 is the Blue Stream Project, comprising the laying of two 24” pipelines in 2,150 m water depth across the Black Sea and thus becoming by far the largest, deepest gas pipeline in the world.
The Saipem FDS “Field Development Ship”, an advanced DP multipurpose Vessel, equipped with J- lay tower today capable of laying up to 26” diameters pipelines in deep water (and up to 36” after the planned upgrade) has resulted in the last ten years the main actor in the execution of some of the challenging deep water Fields Development Projects in West Africa.
Kizomba A, Kizomba B, and Marimba North EPC3 tie-back system Projects for Esso Exploration Angola, Rosa SURF Development for Total E&P Angola and recently the AKPO field development for Total Upstream Nigeria Ltd are some of the remarkable one’s successfully performed in water depth ranging from 1,000 m to 1,500 m.

The “Field Development Ship” Saipem FDS 2 is a DP multipurpose Vessel, equipped with J-lay tower capable of laying up to 36” diameter pipelines in ultra-deep waters and is equipped with a 1,000 t - 400 m below, main crane capacity. Her J-lay tower, designed to lay quadruple joints, has a capacity of 2,000 t.
The Future
The extraordinary growth of the subsea market over the past years and the raising demand for developments in ultra-deep waters and in hostile environments like sub arctic context has led Saipem to upgrade its fleet and to invest in new vessels.
Joining soon our world-class fleet will be the CastorOne, a ship- shaped pipelay Vessel with an overall length of 330 m (excluding stinger) and a DP fully redundant Class 3 System. Ice Class classified she can accommodate on board more than 700 persons. The Vessel, designed to transit at speed up to 13 knots, will swiftly mobilize to work destination across the globe. CastorOne is capable to lay up to 60” pipes in S-lay mode or up to 36” in J-lay mode. With her unique J-lay tower capacity of 2,500 t CastorOne can carry out pipelines and trunklines in water depth down to 3,000 m.

E&C Onshore

Following the acquisition of several engineering companies over the last years, most prominently of Snamprogetti, Bouygues Offshore and Sofresid, the new Business Unit Saipem Onshore has become one of the world’s largest engineering and construction companies, serving primarily the oil & gas, refining and petrochemical markets as well as a number of diversified industrial ones, such as environment, infrastructure, marine terminals, etc.

Saipem offers a complete range of project definition and execution services, particularly for the “mega-projects” required by the market today: from feasibility and front end studies to design, engineering, procurement and field construction.

Historically, the majority of Saipem projects has been carried out via a single EPC contract, allowing the performance of engineering, procurement and construction on a partially parallel and overlapping basis. Frequently, these projects have been executed with Lump Sum Turn Key (LSTK) contracts.

However, Saipem also excels in the supply of high quality Front End Engineering, the first most crucial step in modern project execution, as well as of continuing project support technical services, such as the assistance throughout project evolution.
Following the recent acquisitions, the integration of Saipem’s many engineering and project management centres in several continents has now been completed. Saipem now adopts a consistent design methodology and project execution philosophy across all its operating centres world wide.

Saipem has always been the leader in maximizing local content, namely the amount of project work performed close to project sites, most often in new emerging economies. This applies to executing engineering locally, as well as to maximizing procured supplies and subcontracts from local vendors.

Saipem today operates from four global engineering centres for onshore projects located in Milan, Italy, Paris, France, Fano, Italy and Chennai, India, as well as from a number of medium size engineering centres in many countries, namely in Algiers, Algeria; Calgary, Canada; Delhi, India; Rome and Vibo, Italy; Bucharest, Romania; Basingstoke, UK. Altogether, Saipem employs over 7000 engineers world-wide in engineering roles. This complex system of design and project management offices balances high execution quality with competitive costs.

Saipem continuously creates new local offices in emerging growth markets. Currently under way is the development of engineering centres in Qatar and Libya. In addition to local engineering, this presence also facilitates the certification of and generally the cooperation with local suppliers and vendors.
Saipem project locations span the globe, from far Eastern Russia to the Americas, in virtually every world market, with Saipem leveraging its proven experience across the most significant sectors of the oil, gas, refining, chemicals, power, environmental industries and infrastructure markets.

The growing thirst for ever larger oil and gas supplies frequently requires the design and execution of very large production and processing plants in very remote locations, often inaccessible, with harsh environmental conditions and very challenging logistics.
Saipem has been ready to face this challenge with the successful execution of several huge and most difficult projects in such inhospitable environments.

Fields of Activity

Upstream – Gas and Oil Production and Processing

Saipem offers complex integrated solutions for large upstream facilities including oil & gas production, treatment and processing plants, pipeline systems, pumping and compressor stations, as well as marine terminals.

In recent years, Saipem was awarded several multibillion dollar projects on a fast track basis in diverse markets such as Saudi Arabia, U.A.E. and Algeria. Some of these projects have been executed on the basis of new “convertible” contracts, a hybrid between traditional reimbursable and LSTK contractual forms, particularly suitable for fast track execution of large and otherwise risky projects. Other projects were executed on a more traditional EPC/LSTK basis, with full total price and completion guarantees.

Natural Gas Liquefaction and Regasification

Saipem has gained a strong presence in the natural gas liquefaction market, with a remarkable track record of 9 base-load trains built over the last decade in Nigeria and in Qatar, for a total production capacity of over 35 million t per annum.

Currently, Saipem is executing its first EPC contract as main contractor for Sonatrach’s Arzew LNG Project in Algeria. This 4.7 MTA project will be the largest LNG production facility in Algeria and one of the largest ones in the world. Recently, Saipem has also performed front end designs for new large LNG projects in Nigeria and in Egypt.
S.N. Technigaz, another Saipem’s unit, is a front-ranking player in designing and executing liquefied gas storage and regasification solutions, leveraging on its cryogenic storage membrane technology, with a track record of 12 completed terminals and 45 LNG tanks.

Onshore Transportation Systems

In the design and construction of land pipeline systems and associated field upstream facilities, Saipem ranks amongst the largest contractors in the world, having designed and laid almost 100,000 km of land pipelines on five continents, including whole systems in several continents.

In particular, over more than 60 years, the entire gas supply system for Snam Rete Gas S.p.A., to bring gas to Italy from Russia, the North Sea, Algeria, Tunisia and Libya, as well as the internal Italian gas distribution network – for a total of over 40,000 km .

As an example of an achievement in a difficult environment, in the far eastern Russian island of Sakhalin, Saipem has recently completed among others the onshore pipelines for the Sakhalin II project, entailing engineering, procurement and construction of an 800 km 24” and 48” twin oil and gas pipeline system, from the landing terminal in the north of the offshore pipeline, which brings in gas and oil from the offshore field, to the processing and port facilities in the south. The remote location, very complex and seismic terrain and harsh climates made this a most challenging project.

Oil Refining

Saipem has designed and built 37 grass-roots refineries in Europe, Africa and the Middle East, as well as more than 500 individual process units in almost every corner of the world.

In response to the market shift during the last years, Saipem onshore has more recently focused on designing and building “bottoms-of-the-barrel” and heavy oil upgrading complexes added to traditional or new oil refineries, by implementing large investments based on hydrocracking, hydroconversion, solvent deasphalting and residue gasification process technologies, in Italy, for Eni, ERG and others; in Canada, to process oil sands for Canadian National Resources Ltd.; significant refinery expansions in Morocco, for SAMIR, and earlier in Poland and Mexico. A recent Frond End Design was executed for a new project in the Russian republic of Tatarstan.

Petrochemicals and Gas Monetization

Employing a combination of proprietary and top-of-the-line third party technologies, Saipem has designed and built more than 400 plants worldwide to produce chemicals, mostly from natural gas.
These include integrated complexes to produce Urea, a leading fertilizer, based on Snamprogetti™ proprietary technology, licensed to date to 115 units. In particular, the world’s largest single train urea complex at Profertil in Argentina, and the world’s largest urea single project, for Omifco in Oman.

Saipem is currently building what will be the largest single train complexes in the world, for Engro, Pakistan and two for Qafco, Qatar.

This in addition to numerous other petrochemical projects based on technologies from traditional partners, such as Dow, Univation, Polimeri Europa and other reputable licensors, in diverse markets ranging from China and Qatar to Italy, Brazil.

Saipem is currently executing the Gas-to-Liquids complex for Chevron Nigeria Ltd., together with a partner. Utilising breakthrough technologies from Sasol, Chevron and Haldor Topsøe, this plant will produce premium diesel and gasoline from natural gas. To minimize construction at a remote and swampy site in Nigeria, where there is lack of space and a shortage of skilled construction resources, large modules have been fabricated in a specialized yard, in Abu Dhabi, U.A.E., under Saipem’s onshore design, supervision and overall contractual responsibility, then shipped to the site at Escravos, Nigeria.

Power

Over the years, Saipem units have designed and built over 40 single– and combined–cycle power plants with a total capacity exceeding 10,000 MW. This includes four Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle plants, 2 of which, for ISAB Energy and Sarlux, both in Italy, are still the world’s largest, with a power output of about 550 MW each.

Marine Works

Saipem has a solid track record in performing extensive marine works, including the design and construction of harbours and jetties. This work is typically led from our specialised engineering office in Paris, France, which offers a wealth of expertise and project references in both traditional and new markets.
Infrastructure

Our engineering office in Milan, Italy has developed a substantial expertise in designing and building large infrastructural undertakings, primarily trains, highways, bridges and specialised buildings, such as airport terminals. The most prominent project is the recent completion of the railway track between Milan and Bologna, part of the Italian High Speed Train system, one of the largest public works ever undertaken in Italy. This multibillion Euro project, executed under a single contract by a JV led by Snamprogetti, now Saipem, together with three Italian Civil Contractors, allows top train speeds in excess of 300 km/hr.

Renewables and Environment

Saipem also offers integrated environmental and remediation technologies and services, for example to decontaminate old industrial sites, abate noxious emissions, purify water, etc. This activity is often connected with infrastructural undertakings as well as with new investments in power production from renewable sources (solar, wind and biomass) or from municipal or other waste.

Vessels

Saipem owns a fleet of vessels and technical equipments that, thanks to a balanced mix of high reliability and top technologies, stand as a key element for the conservation and the strengthening of its leadership in this sector of activity.
The development of an in-house know-how to manage these assets, from R"D to designing of new vessels, to the maintenance and improvement of the operating ones, maintenance engineering and spare parts management included, is strategic for the Company success and the achievement of more and more challenging objectives in terms of HSE and operational performances.
Saipem has consequently started a long-term plan of investments to enlarge its fleet with new offshore construction vessels, FPSO, onshore and offshore drilling rigs, and improve the existing ones. This will allow Saipem to increase its volume of activity and face more and more challenging projects.

ards

Benefiting from its experience, Saipem have developed a unique perspective which is strongly reflected in the philosophy found in their fabrication yards. The Group’s yards are pivotal to almost all its activities, since they supply the critical fabrication competencies to the integrated project execution process. Saipem sites are multidiscipline fabrication areas servicing all of the Group’s business units.
A fundamental characteristic of Saipem yards is their location: they are strategically positioned at the oil frontiers on three continents with a clear commitment to the permanent local players in each area. The Company ability to develop the projects in remote areas in the most important oil and gas development provinces is achieved through a solid network of project supports activities built on three fundamental core competencies. The capability to establish strong connections between local and corporate engineering, worldwide logistic support for personnel, assets and project materials and, finally, a recognised capacity to locally manage the wide ranging challenges that have to be faced in these developing countries.
The Saipem yards are:
