Hi you applied through their website ? how long they took to reply you ?

Oh , but I have applied online last week , but the current status there still remain as submitted and no further email from them also

Hello seniors n frens..anyone going to labuan next week? I'm going there for a week under a field exposure program. Or anyone else going for the same program?

I ate chocolates until I get bored during my college days in labuan. Alcohol? Mmhmm..not that time la. Haha
I hope I can do my best too..a bit nervous tho. If there's a hole, I'll try to find it.haha
so...i guess my network will expand 1.5times faster..

well,u only need to finish high school some even primary school to join most of the drilling contractor,if that is what you meant.u dont need any fancy degree to work as roustabout or roughneck.U will be surprised most of the oil riggers,even the one with high position only have high school certs,but of course they have a lot of oilfield experience.

then how to enter this kind of job? and the pay surely huge right?
I want to find the challenging and rewarded well one.

Added on September 24, 2011, 8:27 pmafter see the ha ji won performed in sector 7, any girls in oil rig?

if getting 4-5k /month is a lot to you, with 4 weeks on and 2 weeks off rotation,by all means go ahead and apply for it,but mind you this job is rough.

dude i think you've seen too much tv...
not everyone on the platform/rig is called an Oil Rigger
you so called rigger is one of the lowest level you can go in the entire hierachy of a drilling rig
so find out more on the whole thing before wishing to be something you dont really know about....

1 month on and 1 month off, you can do???
ok... i'll give you the benefit of doubt... but trust me you'll want to go less after that...

can show a long list of JD positions but E&P process A-Z zero also fruitless.

job description. exploration & production. explore urself. lazy to spoon feed you at this moment.

Read people. Theres a list of companies u can try in this thread. And theres even seniors who are willing to help, answers, and giving advise. Just dont be ridiculuous lah. Some stuff u can just learn before u ask. Like what bla3 stands for. Google lah. Dont just depend on people to answer u. U said u really wanna go into this field?then do ur homework.

I am relating to you the situation 5 years ago, I know they have changed the salary scheme for technical professionals. The starting pay for fresh grads has increased to 4K now. When I joined the company, it was RM2050 per month, so that's doubled after 15 years. They also implemented during my last 2 years there the technical allowance for specific skill groups such as SKG9, SKG10 (G&G and Petroleum Engineering) where you get a range of allowances for your technical skills (900 for Senior Execs, 1300 for Staff and 2500 for principal etc etc)

When Dato' Shamsul came on-board 2 years ago, he drastically changed the remuneration scheme, those in the technical ladder or in certain critical skill groups are got a 30% pay raise and (I'm not sure about this), a bump in bonuses and skill allowances (though I've heard that have been removed ... not too sure).

My colleague who is at the same skill level as me is earning close to 17K a month now so that was close to 2.5 times the salary when I left 5 years ago so they have changed a lot nowadays.

They have even allowed for ex-Petronas to return on a contract basis (3 years contract IIANM) and the salary is upwards of 30K and above per month. The previous CEO had some sort of vendetta against ex-staff where there is an unwritten rule where any subsidiary is NOT ALLOWED to hire ex-staff (this must be against the labor law but it was done nonetheless). That unwritten rule has been abolished as per the new CEO.

I tried for long time to get into O&G industry but always fail. And during my last try, I managed to land an interview and they hired me on the spot. I had no experience before and there was no technical questions at all during the interview. So that was luck and right timing. haha

All I can say is to keep trying and maybe one day you will get your chance.

I notice that forummers here only aim for BIG names and well known major players in the oil and gas industry and doesn't
have a very good knowledge and awareness on lesser known O&G companies.
Little do you know that these lesser known companies are more prone and likely to hire fresh grads compared to the big kahunas like
Shell, Petronas & Exxon Mobil.

Also, fresh grads shouldn't aim for operators only and instead focus your energy more on service hand companies eg Geoservices, Baker
Atlas, Halliburton, FMC, Cameron, Gyro, Scientific Drilling, Weatherford, Scomi (Malay's favorite company), MI-Swaco etc.
These companies are good career launching pad and forget about slugging it with ten thousands of candidates in SLB and
Shell.

Good luck hunting!

not to pour cold water, but be sure of what you really want before entering into O&G industry, as not everyone will offer big bucks in comparison with equivalent jobs in other industry.

and the industry is in sunset (well, some would say it's sunseting for the past 20 years anyway) especially in malaysia, so be willing to relocate

Why do you think Petronas is suffering so much right now? We have sooo many young engineers but no one to train them. You have the senior managers, the general managers and then nothing in between. My ex GM keeps asking me to come back and train the new kids ...

7 years I know of but not 5. I have a couple of ex Petronas with 7 years that joined my company. Then again, they are really excellent candidates (both of them worked under me )

Suffering woooo .... the most important thing you need in the Oil & Gas industry is the ability to make decision. This ability comes with experience. Without it, you end up delaying the process which costs money which leads to opportunity lost and what not.

When you have guys that has no seniors to tell them the ropes and all you have is a supposedly structured training for the last 5 years, you end up with people not sure if their technical analysis is correct, you end up with managers not being able to make the necessary decision because they themselves don't trust their subordinates recommendation. Ends up with the process being repeated 3-4 times before they make a decision. Before I left the company I went down to see a friend in Carigali, he had 5 young engineers around the table and everyone had no blood in their face ... I was wondering why, strewn across the table was the log interpretations, some maps and the drilling supervisor on the speaker phone ...

DS: Are we on target? We have reached the recommended depth .... should we perforate? The guns are ready ...

Team: Ermm .... ermmmm .... (everyone looking at one another)

Me: What the heck is going on ... is that the rig?

Team: Yes .... the wanted to perf now ...

Me: So what's the problem? Looked at the logs, confirmed the depth with DS, told my friend that based on my technical judgement, they are at the right depth and said that it will cost USD150K a day for the rig cost if you delay the decision ...

Team: Proceed with perf .... (by the way it cost around USD1 million for the perf ) ...

That's why they were shitting in their pants .... but delaying the decision would have been a lot worse (an you still have to perf no matter what)

Turns out the decision was good .... well flowed 1500 barrels of sweet crude a day ...

Nowadays, I hear managers complaining every day that their subordinates really need some guidance ...

This is what happens when you pay peanuts .... you get monkeys.

Mhyug,

What positions have you applied?
