well actually im familiar about corrosion control, cathodic protection, impress current etc but my projects so  far are power plant sea water inteke, cooling tower, jetty piles, barge etc. Not really sure how they do in OnG industry.

is it possible for degree holder in aviation engineering to join oil & gas? did learnt about gas turbine, sheet metal works n basic NDT..if possible then what position can suit? interested to join oil&gas lah..

I'm currently still a third year mechanical student in UTM. Something i wanna ask here.

im very interested in welding field, O&G company need engineer in this field?

then, can i go for course now to get some useful cert? pls teach me.

welding is very demanded in any industry involving metal

if u ask for course to take, u can try to apply for CSWIP 3.0 Welding Inspection

probably u will end up as QA/QC engineer

Actually i've applied to join so many o&g company but its even hard to get the chance for interview. Maybe because need to compete with other experienced workers and graduates that graduated in the o&g course itself.

I read about INSEP program like PCN-NDT and ANST-NDT. Not really know the difference between those two. Is it worth for me to join such program? mayb thats the best way to be like more 'market' to join the industry? 

Thanks you guys opinion.

ROV cert... can you give me the link?

So... QA/QC engineer get good pay? 

Is it hard to pass CSWIP 3.0?

PCN are British Standard while ASNT are American

PCN is more expensive to pay compared to ASNT qualified. so mostly preferred ASNT. business logic. haha

i've been wondering, by having a strong knowledge and interest in formation evaluation, what is the most suitable career path for me, besides being a petrophysicist?

Whats your background mate?

RE cun petrophysicist? 
Quite difficult to merge formation evaluation with PE. You can always merge G&G with Petrophysics, but havent meet anyone with your situation.
Mind to share why you didnt become PE instead?

Yeah, formation evaluation is more towards G&G.
LWD engineer so far that I know they did not need much knowledge in interpretation side of it (formation evaluation, etc). They are more into the physical part (assembly tools, prepare logging runs, etc). But anyone can correct me though.
But petrophysics is very, very rare, they are sought after.

Yeah.
Office job isnt that bad. You will always got a chance to go to offshore in your early days (if you join operators though). Money wise is not bad also.

Im a geomodeller, 10 years experience.
Was a development geologist when starting, and become a geomodeller ~4 years ago. Now with consultant.

Oversea company overseas? Might be difficult to get. Oversea company in Malaysia, that one is different story. Should have plenty of oppurtunity, esp subsurface people (to be honest I dont know about surface people).
But as what anyone has said before, just take whatever you got, and build your skills and reputation from there. After 3-4 years, you can try your luck in different company. After 5 years and above, companies will be looking for you. True story.

Well, mine and most people that I know.

When it's dry, its akin to drought. But when it rains... it definitely pours.. That time your inbox would become a spam box for all the opportunities coming in. Then you would receive phone calls with numbers starting with +44, +02, +1... or 0301 (untraceable).

il be heading there as well.got the reg stuff and so on.hope to know some new names/companies small+ big i can apply for a job and at the same time know more about the ong industry.

im not that sure about the participants, maybe you can check the link provided.

Oh thanks for the advice.=) any idea if UTP would be a good choice? thought of going for their petroleum engineering course...and bro may i ask if u dun mind, how do jobs revolving this PE/OnG industry goes about ? i mean...do most of the big players eg EXXon, SLB, SHELL recruit new peeps/management peeps thru job fairs in uni and thru internal connections..because i think if we were to browse thru classifieds daily just to look for any openings, its kinda impossible nowadays, hard to find unless on a very rare occasion.

how to apply? i googled the website but no section for application.
