One of my friend who used to be SLB as Drilling Engineer faced the samething..said that the routine is 2 or 3 weeks work then rest but end up 1 month at the rig then rest few days and go to another locations again...earning is fantastic with 5digit income monthly but got no time to spend and no time with family....then come the see the tax oso ....in the end,he opted for other onshore job with lesser pay and he said he got more life...lolz..

bro, he is trying to buat lawak antarabangsa.

Being a roustabout or oil rigger is really kerah tenaga punya job .... really like working in those palm oil plantation where you have to do heavy duty work and the job is bloody dangerous too. A lot of accidents happens with these jobs so just a reality check .... as someone else mentioned, if you are a sporty kind a kind ... go into marketing or something like that ... I dunno ...

if you are sporty then be an athlete... play football in premier league

some of the HSE alerts from rig mostly from these kinds of kerah tenaga jobs at least at rig the stringent requirements on HSE systems are always there.
but not in palm oil... have some seniors work & course conductor commented on palm oil 1 leg kick. accessible to various resources almost zero.

anyhow, those companies have certain assessment tools to evaluate if one is suitable for particular postings & job scopes. in the end, still back to the reality when actually performing the jobs on-spot with evaluation.

what are the job scopes of an FE?curious to know

@figuremeout

that question is so general....FE only means that u are an engineer working in the field.Your job scope will depend on what you do,for example,well testing,wireline,mwd/lwd,cementing,wellbore surveying,coil tubing,etc...

So I got into D&M ..

since u had mentioned u would kill for it, so no need to be spoon-fed.
and you shall have all necessary infos & all preparations have been done more than anyone else for you to kill it.
anticipating you to share your infos.

1st: for fresh who are curious to easier visualizing. a picture/video is worth thousand words.
2nd: for people think (think, think) physically is not demanding & mind also not demanding with 24/7 at rig. talk is easier than act
1st video: "theory"
2nd video: "practical"

hehe,very nice of you to google for them. ,i thought u were responding to me since u reply me directly...

fabricated some of the tools in oilfield for you guys to use

how about food technologist then? do they have an opportunity to work in OnG co.? i mean we did learn chemical, microbes etc. that maybe can be of use of some area in OnG.

i've once interviewed for this one OnG company, they immediately look at my edu background then decided that i'm not suitable to work for them (it's an open interview with so many open vacancies so i just try for document controller or smthg like that.all other are engineering post).

i can accept if the reason is because not related field but the point is he talked like i'm studying to be a cook. and he even made fun of me as i'm quite big so he said i'll be dead starving coz no food there so not suitable for me.

I dont think food technologist is related to OnG in any sense. It is all about food as u are already majoring in that particular field, OnG does not focus on food, your suitable company would be those Brewery, Nestle, F&N and so on.
