From the BSP MD’s desk
Dear Colleagues,
As we approach the mid way point in the year, I am seeing tremendous energy across
the organisation to ensure our projects, production and business goals are being
safely delivered. Let me share with you some updates on what has been going on the
past month.
One of the other recent highlights was our collaboration with the National Oil Spill
Contingency Plan for a major live exercise of an oil spill off shore that after three days
landed at Tungku Beach. Over 700 participants including government authorities,
specialists from Singapore and the Brunei emergency services were involved. I am
extremely proud of everyone from BSP who was involved in demonstrating the
value of teamwork planning and preparation. Th ere is no better reminder of how
important our work on asset integrity and process safety is on our facilities and our
rigs than seeing the eff ort involved and thinking through the environmental
consequences of a spill – prevention is always better than cure.
We also had a two-day Strategy workshop where 400 of you took part in forming
teams to develop the strategic choices to a level of detail so we can make and take
informed choices and decisions in our strategy. Th e communications pack has been
distributed across the organisation and I know you are all working hard on delivering
the messages from this workshop to the rest of your team. Please keep the
conversations going around how we can better work together and the ‘Way of
Being’ to achieve our vision of ‘Energy for life…fuelling Brunei’s future’.
In the community, we supported the prestigious national science competition, the
13 th Princess Rashidah Young Nature Scientist Award where I had the opportunity
to speak with the teams from participating schools. We also saw the graduation of
participating vendors who completed the second cycle of the Coaching Scheme
Initiative where fi ve companies were awarded with the coveted 5-star rating to
demonstrate their capabilities, competencies and competitiveness. Th e much
anticipated annual company event ‘Wheels and Heels’ is coming up. I look forward
to meeting you there.
Please keep fi nding ways to make your commitment to the success of BSP visible to
others. Together Everyone Achieves More. Terima Kasih.

First oil from Champion
Waterflood Project
A view of the Champion Field
Brunei Shell Petroleum (BSP) has made signifi cant progress in its hydrocarbon campaign by announcing the fi rst
oil from Champion Waterfl ood project.
Th is is the fi rst well of the A1 phase of the Champion Waterfl ood project and marks the attainment of an
important milestone. Th is also demonstrates the hard work and dedication by many staff across the company to
ensure this successful delivery.
Mr Ken Marnoch, Managing Director of BSP on the important milestone said, “Th is success is a clear demonstration
of cooperation across the multitude of interfaces within Brunei Shell Petroleum and with our contractors”.
“Th e important factor in this achievement is the people who have worked as a team, collaborating and integrating across all
the disciplines to reach the goals safely”.
Th e Champion Waterfl ood project is the largest development project in BSP’s portfolio and will contribute signifi cant
volume of oil production. Located 60kms off shore, the fi eld where the project is implemented have already seen more than
300 wells drilled from 40 diff erent off shore platforms since it was fi rst discovered in 1970.
Adding signifi cance to the project is the growing opportunities it provided to the local business development. Th is is evident
with the spectrum of skills and technology that are brought in through local contractors throughout the implementation of
the project.
At the same time, the overall scope of the massive project also means greater working opportunities for Bruneians and a great
chance to learn valuable knowledge and skills, related to the oil and gas industry.
Th e A1 phase is the fi rst of 5-6 development phases which span the next six years. Phase A1 will continue to drill and deliver
a total of 20 wells, comprising water injectors and oil producers in 2011 and 2012.
Th e latest strengthen BSP’s endeavour in continuing to develop economically viable and innovative hydrocarbon campaigns
to sustain the continuing prosperity and growth of the country.

Brunei students to compete in
Shell Eco Marathon Asia
With support from Brunei Shell Petroleum and cooperation with the
Department of Technical Education, Ministry of Education,
Brunei will be sending three teams to take part in the 2011 Shell
Eco-Marathon (SEM) Asia that will be held at the Sepang
International circuit in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, from 6-9 July.
Shell Eco-marathon is a competition which challenges students to design, build and
drive a vehicle that can travel the furthest distance on the least amount of fuel and lowest
possible CO2 emissions. It has been running in Europe since 1985 and the United
States in 2007. It was also brought to Asia for the fi rst time in 2007, making it a truly
global event.
It aims to encourage students to design, build and test their energy-effi cient vehicles and
these will be judged by Industry experts and Shell engineers.
Th e teams from Pusat Latihan Mekanik (PLM) and Sekolah Vokasional Sultan Bolkiah
(SVSB) whom are the fi rst representatives from Brunei in the event have already passed
the technical submissions and now have completed the fabrication of their vehicles.
Th e competition provides a platform to students to compete with teams from around
the world to promote sustainable development and environmental awareness by creating
an innovative and energy saving vehicle.
Th e team that wins the competition is the one whose vehicle can go the farthest on a
single litre of fuel. Th e record so far is 4,896 km – equivalent to travelling from BSB to
Mumbai, India - using hydrogen fuel cell, which was set by Team Polyjule Polytech
Nantes from France at the European edition of the Shell Eco-marathon in May 2010.
Th e competition is divided into two categories, ‘Prototype’ and ‘Urban Concept’. Th e
Prototype category focuses on maximising fuel effi ciency through innovative design
elements while the Urban Concept category focuses on more roadworthy fuel-effi cient
vehicles.
For both categories, teams can use any available energy source including diesel and
gasoline as well as alternative fuels such as hydrogen, biomass and solar energy.
Th e team from PLM has entered in the Prototype category and designed a vehicle
around a 50cc motorcycle engine.
Two teams from SVSB will be taking part in both the Urban Concept and Prototype
category. Th ey have designed and built two cars, one gasoline fueled and the other is
powered with lithium polymer batteries.
Each of the Brunei team will be represented by 7 students including one supervising
teacher. Th e students are mostly those studying automotive engineering in their
respective schools.
A unique vehicle designed by
the teams from SVSB

road trial
So far each team has put in more than 100 hours
into the design and fabrication of their vehicles.
Th ey have utilized motorcycle engine parts and
improvised with used spare parts to build the
vehicles up to the strict specifi cation of the
competition. Technical engineers from BSP have
already provided expert advice in particular towards
improving the effi ciency of their vehicles.
Speaking on their progress, Hjh Masni Hj Munir,
Head, Corporate Aff airs Brunei Shell Petroleum
said, “We are impressed with the energy and
commitment demonstrated by the students and
their supervising teachers, as well as the Department
of Technical Education to deliver their best vehicles
to represent Brunei Darussalam. It is a long road to
Sepang. We are looking forward to the vehicle test
run soon before the vehicles are shipped to Kuala
Lumpur. We wish them the best and hope they will
gain a lot of positive experience and learning from
this event.”

BSP HIGHLIGHTS
The BSP strategic alignment
journey continues in greater
momentum since the fi rst
workshop in March. Th e
outcomes of the fi rst
workshop were shared with the whole
organisation to obtain staff feedback on the
proposed vision, values and way of being.
Following this, all the feedback was reviewed
which resulted in BSP’s new aligned stance
that sets the direction towards achieving
BSP’s new vision of “Energy for life..fuelling
Brunei’s future”.
In addition to the consolidated vision, values
and way of being, there were 15 strategy
elements that were identifi ed. Th ese were
derived from over 600 notes or concerns
contributed by staff .

Consolidating BSP’s new vision
The 15 Strategy Elements
BSP staff gathering during the workshop

Th ese 15 elements or themes were the basic building blocks
of the overall strategy that the leaders believe will propel the
company towards the vision. Th ese strategy elements were
further worked on during the second workshop or the
Strategy Kick-Off workshop which involved a greater
number of 400 voices from the previous one.
Th e Strategy Kick-Off workshop started by reconnecting
with everyone by sharing the consolidated vision ‘Energy for
life…Fuelling Brunei’s future’. Teams were formed at the
workshop, based on participants’ own preference or interest,
to focus on each element. Each team had a team leader – the
natural owner in BSP or also known as the subject matter
expert and was supported by a team facilitator. Th ere was
tremendous brainpower, enthusiasm and energy during the
fruitful two-day session.
Th e discussion went further for another two weeks after the
workshop where each team carried on fi rming up the strategy
options (ranging from the mildest to the wildest ideas) with
concise evaluation and analysis using some standard measures.
In order to identify an overall strategy for BSP, these various
options were strung together based on three emerging
directions that BSP could pursue. Th e emerging themes are
Aggressive growth, Stability and Profi tability. Th is particular
process has been managed by another core team who further
analyses the implications of these strategies and its feasibility
to be incorporated into our business plan.
The emerging directions
Th ere are, however, other elements that have been identifi ed to be independent.
In addition, to engrain the set of behaviours as characterised in our way of
being, there will be an awareness campaign and other reinforcing activities to
be rolled out.
Th e next steps of this strategic alignment journey include engagement with
key stakeholders to incorporate their feedback into our strategies, endorsement
from the Board and then the really important part when we move into
execution and delivery.

Limited Singapore as the technical advisor.
It also saw a demonstration of BSP Shoreline and Off shore Protection Booms and Oil spill recovery and containment
equipment. BSP marine vessels, Fast Response Craft (FRC), All Terrain Vehicles (ATV), fi re trucks and Hazardous Material
Handling (Hazmat) vehicle were also deployed.
Th e exercise was aimed at ensuring the nation’s preparedness and readiness and at the same time testing the capabilities and
eff ectiveness of the National Oil Spill Contingency Plan in dealing with an oil spill incident along Brunei coastline.
Present to witness the fi nal drill were the Minister of Communications, Pehin Orang Kaya Hamzah Pahlawan Dato Seri Setia
Awang Haji Abdullah and Minister of Home Aff airs, Pehin Udana Khatib Dato Paduka Seri Setia Ustaz Haji Awang
Badaruddin.
Also present were the Deputy Minister of Home Aff airs and senior government offi cials as well as Ken Marnoch, BSP Managing

Shell People Survey identifies
the need to realign the organisation
The Shell People Survey was conducted in the
hope to enable all employees in Brunei Shell
Joint Venture companies to give their opinions
on a series of issues, ranging from leadership,
business direction, living our core values and
last but not least, communications.
Th e 2011 Shell People Survey is currently taking place for a
month, from 25 May to 24 June 2011. Th e purpose of this
survey is to encourage an ongoing and constructive dialogue
between leaders and staff regarding the issues mentioned
above as well as to focus on areas that need improvement. It is
an important enabler to employee engagement across the
Company.
Last year, 70% of BSP staff responded to the survey. Th e
results showed some areas of strength and also, highlighted
some concerns and issues. Leadership in BSP was also
positively rated where 76% of the employees believed that
their leaders were accessible. On top of that, the leaders
provided clarity, feedback, recognition and often encouraged
their staff to perform at their best.
Meanwhile, the improvement opportunities focus on the
need to get better at co-operating across organizational
departments, making decisions quickly in a way that was felt
fair, and communicating and creating a culture where
everyone felt able to off er diff erent views.
Ken Marnoch, BSP MD, “One of the things, we realized is
that for you - our employees - to feel engaged, you need to be
able to identify with the vision and purpose of your company.
When we looked closely, we found that we had missed this
step.”
“We also realized that the reason many of you were struggling
to get things done in BSP was because we were not aligned
even at the top of the organization, and this was getting in
your way and slowing things down at every level.”
“So we embarked on an ambitious change programme we call
the ‘Strategic Alignment Journey’ and I hope by now you have
heard about it, been talking about it and maybe already
starting to notice small things changing . It is still early days so
I also understand if you are thinking ‘’not there yet’’.”
“We are already looking at what are the strategic choices we
can make for BSP that will propel us towards this vision. We
want to set the long term direction for BSP that assures success
for the Country, our company and for you and your families.
We are well on the way – again with many of you contributing.
By the end of May we will have understood our options,
analysed them and have identifi ed a preferred way forward to
test with our stakeholders.”
“From June we will begin to understand what we need to
change in the short term to realign us in this direction and take
the exciting step of thinking about what this means to each
and every one of us. I will say more about what this will entail
as the details are developed. Th is is an exciting moment for
BSP and it will take the commitment and energy of all of us to
realize our vision. Th e leadership team and I are counting on
your continued drive and support to make this a reality.”
“We also have made communicating with you a top priority.
As leaders, if we are not connected to our people - listening
and helping solve your day to day problems, nothing else will
work. We have introduced Ken’s Korner because I want you
to have a direct line to me, I want to know what’s on your
mind and I want to be part of the solution in the places where
I can help.”
Responding to the survey’s results, the leadership team in BSP
was also restructured in order to strengthen alignment,
collaboration and 2-way communication even between
leaders. As a result, changes at all levels – the country level, the
leadership team, the extended leadership team and the
leadership network. Th e objectives are:
• expand the teams so every part of the business was
represented in a consistent and fair way
• refl ect the increased priority we want on communications
• refocus the agenda’s so each meeting has a clear purpose
“People Survey matters to me, the leadership team, your
leaders and I know to you. We are committed to the journey
we are on and we are excited about the progress and energy
that is being generated in the organization. I know we have
some immediate issues to address – and we will,” said Ken.

BSP promotes the value
of reading culture
Brunei Shell Petroleum (BSP), with collaboration of Ministry of Education (MOE) have launched the ‘Pre-school and Lower
Primary Reading’ programme. Th e project aims to raise awareness on reading culture as well as to increase the literacy level among
school children.
Th e fi rst batch of books for the programme was offi cially received by the Deputy Minister of Education Dato Seri Setia Awg Hj
Yussof Hj Ismail from BSP Managing Director, Ken Marnoch during the National Conference on Numeracy 2011 for Primary and
Secondary level Mathematics teachers.
BSP has been supporting various educational activities in Brunei such as the BSP UBD Green Debate and the BSP Learning and Excellent
Students Scheme (BLESS). Th is project is another step taken by BSP in enhancing the potentials of Bruneian students. Furthermore, this plan
will complement the existing Phonetic Reading Programme with Oil and Gas Discovery Centre (OGDC) Educational Programme.
Th e need to boost reading culture among Bruneians is highly crucial in order to gain as much knowledge as possible. In addition, readers are
able to gain an insight into other people’s views and cultures. When young children start to show interest in reading, it is important to nurture
this interest. Even simple activities such as learning from cue cards or reading small books assist in improving reading skills.
Among the activities to be conducted are to identify and provide appropriate resources, carry out workshops for teachers and also, to develop
Phonetic Exhibition.
Th is project aligns with the introduction of the new national education system (SPN 21). A suitable reading programme is designed to foster
reading culture among the students. Together with new phonetic materials provided, the students are able to develop their capabilities in
reading.
All educational activities organised by OGDC parallel with BSP’s dedication in community development and fully support the SPN 21 and
Vision 2035. Hence, this project is another indication of BSP’s commitment towards development of Bruneian youth.
