hi all,

wanted some advise on the situation i am in now.

currently attending interviews for the 2 positions below.

1. Drilling Engineer for a new drilling contractor/consultancy. Finding more about the jobscope, I would be doing more of conceptual design, planning, liaising with suppliers, meetings etc and not much of a chance to go offshore. Currently they are expanding (as with many OnG companies). Drilling has always been the place I wanted to go to ($$) but not too sure about the size of the company, would it affect my career? They are pretty small just established 2-3 years ago. I went through their fleet and realised most of it is for shallow water drilling, certainly not Transocean-esque depths. However, I understand that this is a golden opportunity for someone fresh to get into the drilling business...maybe can get into it first then switch to deeper water drilling?

It is like Assistant Rig Manager bro...So when you become a RM, you can go to your rig anytime..hehe

Long time didn't check-in to this thread. Been with Baker Hughes 5+ years now, but just changed scene from Middle East to Brazil - yeah, hell lot more interesting here. First time on a deepwater drillship, puking my guts out after running out of sea-sickness pills! biggrin.gif

I want to find the challenging and rewarded well one.

you wont get huge salary if working as roustabout,roughneck,derrickman etc...most of them come out from university of NO-WHERE...working hard, fast learner is the key for them to climb up to next level...you can try Bayong Services or GAS etc..They supplied most of the rig crews to the oil rigs...some of them are monthly paid with offshore allowance and some just daily paid/day rate...

Rox18,

I think it is a good exposure and knowledge since most of the rig equipments(top drive,drawworks,drilling console,BOP, etc) are doing same function regardless of type of the rig..even more you are working with the semisub which means you also learn about the subsea equipments and also the tensioners n compensators..

When you already 'master' with those knowledge I think you can jump to drilling contractors company (transocean,seadrill,ensco,mearsk etc) either as a project engineer, comm eng, ops eng, or even working onboard myb as a Drilling Equipment Eng, Subsea Eng or Electronic Technician(dealing with electronic stuff)..

Just my humble opinion...

Hi meonkutu11,

Thanks for your advise. How often is it for engineers in the yard to jump over to the drilling contractor side? I heard they pay there is absolutely fantabulous, and less stressful compared to the yard. I was advised to specialise on something, and gain experience in that particular area of the rigbuilding...how does it go from here?

Thanks

Rox18,

Honestly, I do not know how often they jump from shipyard to rig owner company but I believe if you already completed 2 or 3 rigs construction from start until the rigs are delivered, that would be an advantage for you...

I also can't comment about specialization on one thing..I just can you share with you what one of the OIM told me recently..he said "jack up rigs maybe ur career but deepwater rigs are the future"....so what I can think about it are the subsea equipments and also the other equipments/systems...

Sorry can't help you much, maybe others can with some more lights...

Thanks..

hello i just want to ask about oil rig driller training in malaysia. anyone know how to apply? how much is the fee? i hope you all will help me. thank you.

Hi there,

From what I know, there are a few ways to be a driller;
1. Start rig job from bottom (galleyhand-painter/roustabout-roughneck-derrickman-pumpman-AD-Driller)
Most of the old timer following this kind of route before become driller...

2. Some of the drilling companies have their Driller Trainee Program (such as Maersk Drilling).

3. I do know a guy that working for drilling company as Trainee Drilling Engineer and now he is a driller....


Cheers

You only need to sit for the IADC/IWCF when you reach to AD and above position..Having that cert without prior experiences I think almost useless because I know one of my roustabout has a IWCF cert and he was working in bank before joining offshore. And he also has degree in Business.

But if you have a engineering degree, IADC/IWCF cert might be one of the added value to be recruit in the Trainee Program....
