In some cases, yes they are the same. But in my definition the Big 3 - PET, SHELL & EXXON are considered as end-user/client. Operator to me is like Talisman, Petrofec, HESS and etc. However, it also depends on situation or cases.

Yes.

SPM > DEGREE (some MASTER in PE).
If your uni/course is not accredited, you can opt to take an exam with BEM. If you pass the exam, they will issue you the grad eng. cert.

you want lean to an advantage side? get Petroleum engineering in UTM/UTP and get first class. Some of my friend in PE(UTM) already booked by Schlumberger/Halliburton/Shell/MMC Oil & Gas/Cameron before they graduate during Oil &Gas Career Fair in UTM, Nowadays, Shipping Companies from Singapore also chips in Oil & Gas Career Fair in UTM, making Career fair in UTM more happening. just my 2 cents.

Well, IMO this is a tricky one.

For general context, I always refer oil companies as "operators", like shell, exxon, petronas, chevron, total.

For project related context at my work place, I refer them as "client/customers/end user" because they always hire some other 3rd party company to operates the rigs/field and the operations. The oil company is only overseeing the operations. In this circumstances, I'd refer the "operators" as the people that actually operates the rig/field.

Any experts that can clarify on these??

actually it depends on what post r u interested in joining coz imo, most service companies hired students with a mechanical eng bground for drilling/completion/production eng post while pet eng bground for res eng post. but then, as long as we have a strong eng qualification from a reputable uni, i dont think there should be any prob for us to get hired rite. anyway, yes the career fair in utm is filled with big oil n gas players n quite happening too.

My application was rejected by Shell. But why?? I have the experience...

anyone ever heard about workpack engineer?

what is their job scope and future in o&g?

Sounds like someone from Maintenance and Integrity Execution. It's basically telling technicians how to execute maintenance work, identify when materials can be procured, telling maintenance scheduling teams how long the execution work will take, etc. prospect I don't know.

maybe they have a better candidate than u?

I see.. Then i think i should start to apply for utm...

I intend to take mech eng as well... But was opt to take foundation to secure my interest for mech eng...

i feel you bro(tho i have no experiance hehe)...slalu jugak la kena reject apply sana sini....but maseh berharap dan berkerja keras to secure a job.

ouh..rejected? how come meh?
nevermind bro, maybe you are not destined to work under that compy.
You have the experience, try to seek your desire job at other compies

for example our local oil and gas compy like petronas, bumi armada, kencana petroleum. Not interested?

if someone have no diploma or bachelor,only have spm..can he work on offshore? If yes..where can he find the vacancy?

what about gyro while drilling?

Heriot Watt that good? Their distance learning program looks interesting, but does it mean you only get to access their lecture materials or view recorded lectures? NUS is currently offering Offshore Technology masters, they both cost about the same but the advantage is in NUS you get to attend real classes. Not sure how the distance learning thing will work?

good luck then!

mwd tools are basically installed as the bha at the drill bit. it measures either azimuth or inclination of the drilled well or the mechanics information such as drill bit rpm, temp, wob, etc

where azimuth or inclination can be measured using installed gyroscope at the bha (bottomhole assembly at the drill bit)

yeah heriot watt is one of the best pet eng school available. but then, if u wanna go for the best available pet eng school, try united states universities such as csm, texas a&m, stanford uni, uni of texas at austin coz these universities are known worldwide for their pet eng program.

i wish you best of the bests luck with the quota.

Don't worry bro, here's my case:
I applied to Shell for three times in three years, and failed every single time.

First application, for intern position, told me that application was unsuccessful due to the reason I'm having internship in my final year studies, which is a no-no. Supposedly should apply a year before my internship begins.

Second application, for graduate / fresh entry position, application unsuccessful again, because there's no available job at that moment.

Third application, I think its for fresh entry position as well, although that time I'm already working in Aus, so went through a phone interview but in the end, received an email "Your application is unsuccessful".

I always thought third time's charm? Guess its not for me
Maybe another try this year?

Erms... why don't you try another approach?

"You know they say insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, expecting to get a different result." - Warren Buffett

Dont expect you are the only one applying for that position in shell.. there are thousand.. shell are seeking only the best, and if you think you have enough experience.. it doesnt mean that you are qualified.. requirement stated is MINIMUM..

it all about luck.. i would say.. there will go randomly as they receive number of applications.. do you think they go thru one by one? agent is the best way to go.. as they will help employee to shotlisted the candidate.. and they even can influence employee by putting your CV as the best among the rest..

True true, probably give it a last try, or maybe just drop it all together.
As year pass by, with more working experience and knowledge, hope for the best.

Just I have a slight infatuation with Shell, maybe just for own personal preferences.

Been to Miri before, and felt like I want to settle down there for good

Besides, Shell is very attractive too, don't you agree?

Yeah, totally agree with that. So many applicants and definately Shell is looking for the best they can find.

I'm really glad to be given an opportunity even for phone interview, but in the end, I was not successful.

so you prefer working in miri rather than AUS ? y? if you'd care tell me the reasons? since both places is far away from your hometown judging from your previous comments.
