Top 2 Fortune 500 IOC companies for few years running

err,u do know there are independent producers and National Oil Company(NOC) right?

It's good to be back here. Didn't check thread for a long time.

Good to see KianHoe joined in the grease mafia!

Still doing MWD/LWD, in Brazil now instead of Qatar. Drill ship NS-21 Ocean Clipper operated by BrasDrill.

Ended up gutting and rigging down all cables and units... Ship is heading in the docks for total refurb.

Simple thing like this, I've done it few months ago. You're being sarcastic.

And still, no one is answering my previous question. Flow assurance engineer vs process engineer, which one hv better career prospect? I am not sure what a flow assurance engineer will do, is it a site work,or lab work?

sorry, am not in the 2 postings but hope the following can assist you.
there is no such thing which hv better career prospect. it is about demand & supply at that particular timing period. do u understand the o&g economics concept?
the way you are asking is like everyone at here is owning something to you. be humble always & re-ask politely. am in the good mood to answer u today.
u have the closing "cables" & you should try to ask them which is a short-cut.
i need to use my own capability to get a job in o&g which from 1st assessment until last interview & get the offer letter signed total almost 5-6 months.

Thanks mr ch_teo.. no one is owning anything to me, just feel ignored that the seniors were just trying to prove who is in the biggest company n all but no one cares to answer little midget like me.what I feel is more to unwanted actually. I've been waiting, checking and refreshing this site since last night. Sorry.....

Well, maybe most of the seniors didnt know the answer. I know I dont. If you ask about G&G stuff, than I gladly will reply.

Dear Mr ch_teo,do you think is it the same job as below?


PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITIES

Working in a mercury free PVT laboratory the flow assurance engineers primary responsibilities will be to perform various flow assurance analyses in accordance with SGS’s Standard Operating Procedures.
They are responsible for performing daily routine & specialized analysis to meet the demands of the laboratory and its clients; including the following:
To maintain high level of quality, control and quality assurance of all analysis carried out in the laboratory
Assure data reliability to adherence through quality assurance
Additional to this the engineer must ensure compliance to all company’s program, contributing to meet customer service, commitment to maintain laboratory operations, complying with QA/QC, HSE, environment and regulatory standards.
Uphold the quality system to ensure compliance with ISO 9001 & 17025
Timely completion of all assigned tasks
Assist in investigations of any quality or HSE incidents occurring within the laboratory
Adhere to clients confidentiality agreement
Help, respond and resolve corrective and preventative action

REPORTING TO
PVT Laboratory Manager

SPECIFIC RESPONSIBILITIES
Perform asphaltene & wax screening of pressurized reservoir fluid samples
Perform rheological studies of reservoir fluids under both atmospheric and pressurized conditions
Perform chemical screening studies to determine the effects of chemical additions into reservoir fluids on both pressurized and atmospheric samples
Perform various other analysis for emulsion, scaling etc. according published methods
Transfer of high pressure high temperature reservoir fluid samples
Assist in the creation of work plans and schedule for assigned tasks and projects
Assist in preparation of reports
Perform scheduled maintenance and calibration of instrumentation
Attend External & Internal training courses as required


I will be attending an interview for this position today. Upon seeing the word 'laboratory' I've imagine that it would be like a scientist job. Is it? When it says lab, it is most probably onshore right?


I'm a midget with a lot of questions, sorry..

i believe mostly in lab & dealing with instrumentations. but not sure if you need to go to field to collect measurement data & set up any instruments at field or not. saw about FA Engineer posting in Shell few years ago.
the keywords are PVT lab & SGS:
PVT Lab
SGS
subject back to fluid mechanics & instrumentations & measurements.
great job scope for ladies.
i like to attend certain courses in SGS if company foots the bills.

hi, ch_teo

u're working in oil operator side or contractor side?

Thank you. But fluid mechanics..
So SGS is a good company? I will be based in labuan IF i get the job..

What's the problem?? got job in OnG do first, then if you really not suitable for you, then find others. u have no idea how many ppl 'r after ur position nowadays.

My apologies, sometimes we let our ego get the better of ourselves.

I'm a geologist so I'm not that familiar about process engineering or flow assurance. I was in a NOC before (still in an NOC now anyway) and I have dealt with the two aspect but I wouldn't want to give wrong advice (which is actually a lot worse than keeping silent). I know several colleague in PETRONAS who are in Facilities Engineering and I know both process engineering and flow assurance will probably fall under Facilities Engineering side (upstream still).

As mentioned by another poster, there is no good or bad position, it all depends on the market demand. Market demand for Geologist/Petroleum Engineers/Petrophysicist/Geophysicist are constant ... they are always high and the supply is limited so it's an employee market. If you are an engineer, then maybe some seniors here who are engineers can shed further light.

Good luck in whatever you do, have a positive attitude and I'm sure companies will appreciate you.

Process engineer: -
- deals with processes once oil/gas reaches the platform
- partial separation for platforms
- full separation for the plants (onshore)
- i.e. process engineer are required onshore and off shore.
- that said, process engineers work mostly from office for both situations
- it is a WIDE scope but i think you get the idea

Flow assurance Engineer
- deals with fluid.gas flow issues
- scaling, hydrates, icing, waxing, slugging
- FA Engineers job is to ensure all these (above) are mitigated
- most FA experts are pipeline engineers as well
- you deal with flow from the well head to the platform. Once at the platform, the Process Engineer takes over
- FA is a niche market and is of high demand since we are in the Hard Oil phase of O&G

No problem,just wanna know what I'm gonna deal with. I am just asking...

thanks fr the explanation mr azraeil..

thank you to you too. I've just done with the interview, with the pvt lab manager himself. So it's a 95% lab and another 5% collecting samples offshore with SGS. There's 5 other candidates interviewed for this position, not sure if I'll get it. Like you guys always said, these companies prefer more experienced people.

Yesterday's interview for process engineer is tough,almost 3 hrs. This one is more relaxing, held in a coffee shop. Maybe the work would be that tough/relaxing too.

Need you guys' advice so pls help. Any and all feedback welcome.

I have 2.5 years work experience in OnG and recently received a job offer from Kencana HL in lumut but Im not sure whether or not i should go. I am currently working for a small MNC specializing in pipeline welding so I dont get much exposure to the oil n gas industry as a whole due to the pretty small job scope.

job offered at kencana is on permanent basis as QA engineer. same as my current job.
pay is rm3XXX. same as current job.
working hours is officially 48-50 hours/week. roughly same as current job but for kencana there is no compensation at all for working overtime and on rest days. meaning they can call me to work on sunday and not have to give me any money or replacement leave or watever at all. this sucks pretty bad.

if i go, it would be for the experience but I'm not sure if it is worth it coz the remuneration is actually slightly less than what I am getting now with my current employer.

what do you guys think?

hi..
so envy u can go work round the world...is it tough working in Brazil? anyway, how often do you get the get back home?

just out of curiosity any sifu's here know any small companies in ong like being discussed a few pages back,

ive tried all the norm channels you can find now mau cuba fellow members.if you have any please do post here, thx in advance.

Will you be required to relocate for the new job ? Can't you at the very least ask the company to match your current remuneration ?

just with a small sub-con of the o&g operator of the 3 taikos above saudi aramco, exxon, shell; petronas, total, pertamina, cnooc, ongc, BP, PTTEP, etc. sub-con for halliburton, cameron, fmc, aker, baker, schlumberger, etc...
