In a recent controversial statement, Mitsui's chief of Australian operations, Yasushi Takahashi said the “inconvenient truth” of Australian mining is that wages are too high. Speaking to the Sydney Morning Herald, he said that it is a “good thing we are seeing high wages in the most liveable country in the world... If that's sustainable that's fine. But one concern is, is it really sustainable?”

The average annual wage for someone working in Australian mining is $138,000, more than double the US average. This has been a point of pride for the industry, but while the commodity sector is engaged in an enormous efficiency drive, thanks largely to a slump in global commodity prices, many bosses such as Takahashi are seeing such high labour costs as prohibitive. Roughly 25% of the cost of running a mine in Australia is comprised of labour, compared to 15% on average worldwide.

His concerns were preceded by a 2014 report by PwC that found Australia's high wages weren't matched by productivity: “Mining equipment in Australia runs at lower annual outputs than most of its global peers”, attributing the shortfall almost entirely to labour.

Of course, this begs the question – would productivity increase if wages were cut? Further, as recognised elsewhere, while some in the industry are seeking work overseas – unable to find employment in their speciality; exploration work in particular is not as available as it was as Australian mining has transitioned from opening new mines to operating those mines – high wages are arguably what brings people back down under.

It's also important to note that even in the wider economic context, mining remains the largest contributor to Australian economic growth, making it essential for us to attract and retain the best people we can. And if that means keeping wages high, that means keeping wages high.

Whatever side you come down on, salaries in Australian mining are higher than elsewhere. That's an issue that won't be going anywhere soon.

World Class Filipino came to existence because of the solid belief of the people behind this project on its subject … the Filipino and most especially because God has allowed this to happen.
We are first hand witnesses on how competent Filipinos are in any trade or profession, in any country and against any nationality as most of us are currently occupying job positions which could have been easily occupied by another race had we not been capable.
The idea of setting up this website first came up at a time when we were always being asked by foreign employers if we know of a Filipino who would like to work with them.  When asked why they prefer Filipinos… they site Filipino qualities such as the following: honest, loyal, friendly, fun-loving, honors commitments, good communicator, hardworking, creative and among others.   If you just happen to have the privilege of hearing these adjectives from people other than your “kababayan”… you would probably ask yourself why these people believe in us and why can't we?  Why other nationalities are appreciating us while we ourselves, at times, are still downgrading our capacities?
As Filipinos working abroad, we believe we are representatives of our country.  Our performances today will have a direct effect on others who will choose to follow this route and to the image of Filipinos in general.  That's why we are always asking God for guidance at work and in everything we do.  That we may continue to do His will for His greater glory and thereby preserve the legacy of the Filipinos who came before us. In relation to this, please allow us to use this space to salute them.  They made lasting impressions internationally which practically paved the way and have opened up windows of opportunities for millions of Filipinos.
And lastly, we believe that everything we have, were just given.  Our strength, beauty, intelligence… everything.  We should therefore not be boastful and proud.  Instead, we should be thankful to the one who made you and me and share these gifts to everyone.   We may be small as people, we may be under-developed as a country and we are not perfect. But we are perfectly us… just the way God had designed us to be.

Love.  Care.  Share.
Love God above all.  Care for others.  Share ourselves.

NT Gas pipe line going ahead

The Northern Territory Chief Minister has added new hope to the planned gas pipeline to the eastern states of Australia by his huge announcement that the pipeline is now pretty well a done deal. He added that there will be huge new emerging possibilities and that his own Northern Territorians will benefit by less expensive house gas costs.

Originally nine submissions to construct this big undertaking were received when called by the NT government and this number was eventually filtered down to four bidders in the last six weeks – SGSP Assets, DDG Operations, Merlin Energy Australia and APA Group.

The final decision on which submission will be accepted should be made by December 2015.

The timeline would then follow a course of the project having to satisfy all environmental requirements by 2017. Following on from that approval construction would commence with a likely completion date prior to the 2019 year.

The project itself is not totally a new build but incorporates the connection of over 2200klm of the pipeline already in place in the NT to the existing eastern states grid which spans over 7500klm. Experts have judged that the most efficient pathway for the pipeline in through Mount Isa or Alice Springs.

The Federal Government is not required to play a significant role in this development project according to the Chief Minister after an examination of the details of the proposals from the four submitting companies. The add on costs to the NT government have not yet been itemised.

The Chief Minister was quoted as saying “The quality of the submissions through the government’s competitive process for the pipeline’s construction has been so high that we now feel it is inevitable that this pipeline will be built

He added “The submissions give us confidence that this project is seen by the private sector as being commercially viable, and that the focus of government support will be around facilitating approval processes. Put plainly, the numbers seem to be stacking up.

The NT pipeline will generate employment in regions and also in outlying country areas. Because there is significant construction involved there will be jobs in construction and engineering and other traditionally mining oil and gas related fields.

As to whether a gas supply from fracking would be involved in the process the Chief Minister advised “The first tranches of gas for this pipeline are expected to come from existing offshore and onshore fields giving us the time to get the regulatory environment right for an expanded industry into the future,

According to NT government sources the extent of the reserves of gas in the Northern Territory were so great as to be able to ensure a supply which would provide Australia’s total power needs for over 150 years - See more at: http://www.miningoilgasjobs.com.au/our-blog/april-2015-(1)/nt-gas-pipeline-going-ahead.aspx#sthash.SJbqIdL2.dpuf

Focus Turns to Gas

Focus Turns to Gas

________________________________________


At the World Gas Conference in Paris, major producer Total through their key personnel Patrick Pouyanne said the company will move away from coal and focus more on the burgeoning gas space, according to Bloomberg.

Pouyanne was quoted as saying at the conference “I still have a coal business and I have to get out of it,”

“I can’t say that coal is the enemy of gas and then continue to produce coal like some of my colleagues. I will get out of coal.”

“Total is gas and gas is good.”

Pouyanne furthered the position that the LNG market is expected to represent a greater share of the current global energy share.

“There will be a profound change in the world energy mix and Total plans to produce around 32.5 million tonnes of LNG.”

Poyanne was not alone in that sentiment with Chevron promoting LNG, with chairman John Watson saying “Natural gas and LNG will be essential to the world’s future energy mix and natural gas is significant part of the company’s portfolio.”

Exxonmobil CEO Rex Tillerson added that there is a predicted 65 per cent growth in gas demand in the coming 25 years, with gas likely to overtake coal as the second most prolific fuel source by 2025

Shell CEO Ben Van Beurden stated that gas, not coal, needed to be centre of focus in the world energy mix.

“How do we ensure that gas, not coal, is at the heart of the energy solution to meet rising demand,” Van Beurden asked.

“The benefits of gas are well documented,” he said.

“Gas is flexible, abundant, its ranges of use are increasing, it’s a strong ally for renewables, and it makes economic sense. Building gas power stations is faster and cheaper than coal. So, the quicker we move away from coal to a mix of gas and renewables, the cheaper energy will become.

“Still, the golden age of gas will not come automatically; we will need to work for it.”

Last month van Beurden made similar statements on the future importance of gas, stating that the company is shifting from "an oil-and-gas company to a gas-and-oil company".

Shell has also upped its exposure to the industry by leading the world with the development of its floating LNG platform Prelude, and making a massive $94 billion takeover push for the BG Group, which would give it access to the QCLNG plant on Curtis Island.

The energy giant has previously fought the expansion of coal globally, previously lobbying the World Bank to halt funding coal-fired plants before the firm announced it would cut lending to the coal sector.

Shell's head of gas, Maarten Wetselaar stated the company formed a department whose sole purpose was to lobby governments and funding bodies to look to gas as a power source over coal.

Maarten Wetselaar said climate change had pushed Shell to convince entities to increase the sale of gas in the global market

Australian LNG is now shifting into this next era, moving from an era of construction into one of production.
