The humid, tropical climate has stable year round temperatures (av. 27 deg C). There is a rich diversity of flora and fauna, which can be easily admired in such places as the Temburong National Park. The population of Brunei is about 365,000, of which 67% are Malay Muslims, 15% Chinese and 6% indigenous tribes. The country is ruled under the Malay Muslim Monarchy, with the Sultan of Brunei as the head of state and government. The capital city of Bandar Seri Begawan (BSB) is located in the northeast of the country. Brunei Shell Petroleum's offices and camp are located on the coast, close to the town of Seria in the southwest of the country in the Belait District, about a one hour drive away from the capital and international airport. Brunei offers excellent travel opportunities and regular air-links to exciting destinations in the Australasian region and farther afield. Brunei is a safe, healthy and pleasant multicultural country in which to live, with a good range of recreational and social opportunities being offered by the Panaga (Shell Club)and Brunei Shell Recreational Club.

The Dutch stream follows the Nederlandse Kerndoelen for Dutch language and maths. Both streams work together for subjects such as art and physical education and other subjects are taught separately in Dutch and English, following the International Primary Curriculum. http://www.panagaschool.com/ An excellent after school activity programme is offered by experienced teaching staff (including weird science, yoga, languages, sports, arts and crafts, music etc.).

The company has a complex infrastructure with integrated oil and gas production and a large portfolio of about 880 active wells, drilled over the past 80 years. The fields are located both on and offshore and are generally structurally complex & relatively shallow, with multiple stacked reservoir sands and complex fluid distributions. These levels of production have been achieved through the application of innovative technical solutions to both subsurface and surface problems, which makes for an exciting and energetic working environment, where new ideas are encouraged and new technologies applied, often within short time frames. Working in BSP provides a unique opportunity to work with numerous new technologies (PETREL, Smart Field developments, snake, dragon, fishhook and conductor-connector wells) as BSP is the leading technology implementer in the Shell Group for a number of areas of the business. BSP is now focussing on Well, Reservoir Management, water flooding and Enhanced Oil Recovery techniques for these oil and gas rates to be maintained or increased. In addition, there is an active exploration programme aimed at both mature and frontier acreage. The challenges in the former areas are to identify economic opportunities for oil production that can be rapidly hooked-up and developed utilising existing infrastructure. The frontier plays are in the exploration of deep, high pressure (gas-condensate) prospects and in the deepwater turbidite plays. Both high risk/high reward play types are under-explored and present the company with major opportunities for adding significant volumes of oil and gas to its reserves base. BSP works in an Asset Based organisation with discipline overlay. The three hydrocarbon producing assets, Offshore West, Offshore East and Darat (Land/Coastal) are supported by Technical Services, Operations Services and Hydrocarbon Processing Assets and by a centralised corporate organisation. Development Studies group staffed with subsurface and front-end engineers is tasked to take field development plans to Decision Gate 3. In addition the Capability group ensures processes, standards and particularly competency levels across the assets are maintained and improved. Each Asset Unit has Operations/Maintenance, Development, Engineering and Business Support Departments and HSE advisors reporting to the Asset Manager. The subsurface teams within each Asset Unit consist of the four main disciplines (G&G, PP, RE, PT) and exploration geoscience staff.
