ERP software for oil and gas companies in Malaysia

Atlantis NDT ERP is inspection-management software for NDT service providers, inspection contractors, fabricators and QA departments operating in Malaysia. It replaces the spreadsheet stack most inspection businesses run on — technician certification currency, equipment calibration control, inspection scheduling, multi-crew work orders, client asset registers, job costing and audit-ready document retention — on one Odoo-based platform.

Who operates in Malaysia

PETRONAS and PETRONAS Carigali upstream, PETRONAS Chemicals and the Pengerang integrated complex downstream, Shell Malaysia and Sarawak Shell, Murphy Oil and Hess offshore, and the fabrication yards and inspection contractors around Kuala Lumpur, Kerteh, Miri, Bintulu and Labuan.

What governs inspection work here

What actually decides the purchase in Malaysia

Malaysian contractors typically work across Peninsular Malaysia, Sarawak and Sabah with shared crews, and bill in a mix of MYR, USD and SGD. Multi-site dispatch with competency matching, and multi-currency job costing that still reconciles to one margin view, are the two capabilities that decide whether the business is actually profitable per contract.

Certification currency per method — SNT-TC-1A, ISO 9712, NAS 410 and client-specific approvals — with dispatch lockout the moment anything lapses.
Calibration control with ISO 17025 traceability across flaw detectors, thickness gauges, probes, wedges, reference blocks and step wedges.
Condition-driven inspection scheduling: next-inspection dates computed from measured corrosion rate under API 510/570/653 rather than a fixed calendar.
Offline mobile field capture for confined spaces, vessels, offshore platforms and remote sites with no connectivity.
Client-specific report templates rendered from one dataset, so the same survey issues three ways without re-keying.
Work-order-level job costing including mobilisation, standby and travel, so per-contract margin is visible while the contract is running.
Document control on procedures, written practices and technique sheets, with the revision in force on any historical inspection date recoverable.

Regional asset base in detail

Kuala Lumpur — Kuala Lumpur is the corporate headquarters of Petronas, which operates Pengerang Integrated Complex — one of Asia's largest downstream facilities — alongside significant deepwater offshore production in the South China Sea. Petronas's internal technical standards mandate systematic inspection data management for all pressure equipment, and digital twin platforms are increasingly specified in project engineering packages for new downstream facilities.
Bintulu — Bintulu is home to the Petronas LNG Complex, one of the world's largest single-site LNG facilities with the MLNG Satu, Dua, and Tiga trains, alongside the Shell MDS gas-to-liquids plant and Petronas Chemicals' fertilizer and methanol units. Cryogenic LNG storage tanks, liquefaction train cold boxes, and high-pressure gas processing vessels operating continuously at scale create constant demand for corrosion-under-insulation monitoring, RBI, and API 510/570 compliance across Sarawak Shell's feed gas supply chain.
Miri — Miri is the birthplace of Malaysia's oil industry, site of the historic 1910 Canada Hill well, and remains Sarawak Shell Berhad's operational base for offshore exploration and production feeding gas via pipeline to the Bintulu LNG complex. Ageing offshore platforms and subsea pipeline infrastructure in the Sarawak basin, some operating well beyond original design life, require sustained RBI, API 570, and FFS per API 579 assessment to justify continued operation under Petronas and Sarawak Shell integrity programs.
Kemaman — Kemaman serves as Terengganu's offshore oil and gas support base, anchored by the Kemaman Supply Base, Vopak's independent storage terminal, and the Kemaman Bitumen Company plant, all feeding Peninsular Malaysia's offshore production and the wider Kertih-Kemaman petrochemical corridor. Offshore platform topsides serviced out of Kemaman, alongside bulk liquid storage tanks and bitumen processing vessels, require RBI and API 510/570 inspection programs to manage corrosion in a humid, marine tropical environment.
Kerteh — Kerteh is the anchor site of Petronas' integrated petrochemical complex, hosting Petronas Chemicals Group's ethylene, polyethylene, and aromatics plants, the Optimal Chemicals joint venture, and gas processing facilities receiving offshore feed gas via the Kertih gas terminal. Continuous cracking, polymerization, and gas separation operations across ageing high-pressure reactors and storage spheres demand rigorous RBI and API 510/570 inspection programs to sustain throughput and manage corrosion in Terengganu's coastal climate.
Pengerang — Pengerang is the location of Petronas' flagship downstream investment — the Pengerang Integrated Complex (PIC, formerly RAPID — Refinery and Petrochemical Integrated Development) — a $27 billion joint venture with Saudi Aramco running at 300,000 bpd of refining capacity plus 7.7 mtpa of petrochemical production (ethylene, propylene, MEG, butadiene, and downstream polyolefins). The site also hosts the Pengerang Deepwater Petroleum Terminal (PDPT) operated by Dialog Group and Vopak, the Pengerang LNG regasification terminal, and the Pengerang Integrated Petroleum Complex Phase 2 expansion.
Mailiao — Mailiao is home to Formosa Petrochemical Corporation's Sixth Naphtha Cracker complex, an integrated refining, olefins, and cogeneration site built largely on reclaimed land along Taiwan's typhoon-exposed western coast. The complex's scale — spanning multiple crackers, a deep-water port, and captive power plants — combined with recurring typhoon and seismic exposure, makes structural-integrity monitoring and corrosion tracking a continuous priority.

Frequently asked questions

Which ERP suits an inspection or NDT company in Malaysia?

The deciding capabilities in Malaysia are certification currency with hard lockout on lapse, instrument and reference-block calibration traceability, condition-driven inspection scheduling under API 510/570/653, offline field capture, and job costing at work-order level. Generic ERP and generic CMMS both model the money and the maintenance well and the personnel-qualification and calibration evidence badly, which is exactly the evidence a client audit tests. Malaysian contractors typically work across Peninsular Malaysia, Sarawak and Sabah with shared crews, and bill in a mix of MYR, USD and SGD. Multi-site dispatch with competency matching, and multi-currency job costing that still reconciles to one margin view, are the two capabilities that decide whether the business is actually profitable per contract.

Which regulations and client audit regimes does it need to support in Malaysia?

PETRONAS licensing and vendor registration governs access to most upstream and downstream work and requires continuous documentary evidence rather than a one-off submission. DOSH requirements under the Occupational Safety and Health Act and the Factories and Machinery Act shape pressure-equipment and lifting inspection, applied alongside ASME Section V, VIII and IX and API 510/570/653. The platform holds the underlying evidence in structured, exportable form — qualification currency, calibration certificates and traceability, procedure revisions under document control, and inspection results with the provenance applicable at the time of test — so producing an audit pack is an export rather than a document hunt.

How long does implementation take?

Six to ten weeks for a typical 20–60 technician business: one to two weeks of discovery and migration mapping, three weeks configuring certification, calibration and work-order modules against your written practice, two weeks piloting on one client contract, then rollout. Historical certification records and calibration certificates are migrated as part of that, which is why the timeline is measured in weeks rather than days.

Can it run alongside the operator's own SAP or Maximo?

Yes, and that is the normal arrangement. The operator's system stays authoritative for their work management and cost; Atlantis runs your side of the relationship — crews, certifications, calibration, scheduling, reporting and job costing — and pushes findings across by REST API or supported connector so results land where the client expects them.

Built for any business that runs on operations

Most companies do not fail at their craft. They lose time, margin and goodwill in the gaps between the tools they use to run the place — a quoting spreadsheet that does not talk to the job sheet, a job sheet that does not reach accounts, and a compliance folder nobody can search when a client asks. Atlantis closes those gaps by putting the whole operation on one platform, so information is entered once and everything downstream stays in step.

What you can run on it

Sales and CRM — leads, quotes, follow-ups and the pipeline that tells you what next month looks like.
Projects and job costing — plan the work, track the hours and materials against it, and see the margin while the job is still live rather than at final account.
Field and service teams — dispatch, schedules, mobile capture that works with no signal, and sign-off from site.
Inventory and purchasing — stock, suppliers, reorder points and goods receipt, joined to the jobs that consume them.
People — records, qualifications and licences with renewal reminders, timesheets, leave and payroll.
Quality and documents — procedures and forms under revision control, with the audit trail an inspection or accreditation body actually asks for.
Accounts — invoicing, expenses, multi-currency and the reporting your accountant stops chasing you for.

Affordable, accessible, fully customizable — and we mean each word

Affordable because the whole suite is included rather than sold to you a module at a time, and because implementation is done by people who have run operations rather than by a chain of subcontractors. Accessible because it runs in a browser and on a phone, works for a small team on day one, and does not need a specialist on staff to keep it alive. Fully customizable because your process is the thing that makes you competitive — the software should bend to it, not the other way round.

Industries we configure for

Service businesses and contractors, manufacturing and fabrication, trading and distribution, laboratories and testing houses, engineering consultancies, construction and facilities, and asset owners across energy, marine, aerospace and infrastructure. Inspection and testing is where we started, and it remains the sector we go deepest in — but the platform underneath is general-purpose, and most of what it does has nothing to do with inspection at all.

What happens when you get in touch

A short conversation, not a sales sequence. We ask how the business runs today and where it hurts, show you the platform doing that work, and send a written quote shaped to your region, your team size and the scope you actually need. No obligation, nothing to install first, and no pressure to decide on the call. Reach out and tell us what you are trying to fix.

The full Malaysia guide

This page covers one part of the picture. If you are choosing a platform to run the business on rather than researching a single topic, the complete guide for Malaysia sets out what operators there actually have to satisfy, what the platform covers, how implementation runs, and what happens when you get in touch: business management software for Malaysia.

Affordable, accessible, fully customizable. Book a free consultation and we will walk it through on your own workflow.

Compare the platform before you shortlist

Most companies arrive at a city page and actually want one of three things. If you are evaluating systems, start with NDT inspection software — what inspection companies actually need. If report turnaround is the pain, go to NDT reporting software compared. If the question is whether a generic system could work, read why generic ERP breaks on inspection work and the NetSuite comparison.
