QUOTE(kaka1407 @ May 15 2011, 07:56 PM) yup UTM...petronas looks for their scholar first... Yes, Petronas will give priority to their scholars BUT my question is have you even tried Petronas? If you have not tried because of the assumption that you will not get it due to the above ..... you need to get your attitude adjusted.everybody knows that...  If you have tried and Petronas doesn't even call you for an interview ... well at least you have tried. |

QUOTE(khrill @ May 16 2011, 11:07 AM) i have tried so many company from the sub to major but it is difficult just to get an interview. i wonder what are they looking in resume? so far i just have experience in designing then i quit cause of bad management. i want to know what is upstream and downstream. tq the O&G business is divided into 2 parts, Upstream side and Downstream sideI'm from Upstream so I may be more familiar with that side of the business. Upstream side involves mainly the extraction of hydrocarbons from the subsurface and the supply of it from the platform to the Plant/Crude Carrier/LNG etc etc so anything that involves those items are called the Upstream side. Refining, Petrochem, Sales and Service stations etc are the downstream side of the business. |

QUOTE(chyen @ May 17 2011, 06:53 AM) Good morning guys. Read a lot of books. Read, read, read. Go to Kino and buy some books. If you cannot afford Kino prices, go to those bookshops that sells used books.My internship is going to end soon at end June. I am really looking forward to Oil and Gas field because of the bright prospect, not to mention the well paying salary as well. I am always not hesitate to learn and willing to start from the bottom in OnG line. I got a not bad result in Mech Degree but one thing that quite turns me off is my fluency of English speaking. If I am given a scale to rate myself from 1 to 5 I would rate myself as 3.0 the most in my English speaking. I can talk with the simple one but always stuck at some points due to lack of vocabs. So what do you guys think about this? Please share me one or two regarding this. I just made my mind that I am not going to apply big foreign MNC at the moment because most probably I could fail myself during interview  Read a few posts back and I found that some sifus said a Good command of English is a must. By the way now I am practicing verbal speaking daily hope that improvement can be achieved.Read read read ... you're never too old to read novels. |

QUOTE(chicaman @ May 17 2011, 07:41 AM) Is it possible for a second lower class fresh grad to get a job in OnG? Depends on the degree you're holding. Engineering maybe difficult but Geosciences maybe okay.Whatever it is, I always say that you should just send in your application/resume ... what have you got to lose? At least you have tried. It's a lot worse if you don't even try. |

QUOTE(tyz307806 @ May 17 2011, 02:26 PM) Hi Mr. Azraeil (please correct me if I have mistaken your gender status), Gender is correct.I have read quite a number of posts saying that drilling engineers are from the upstream. It is one of the highly specialized jobs. But, how can a civil engineer (for example, me) can get into the field of drilling? Do I need specialization in geotechnical instead of structural or some other sub-disciplines? Or, any engineers can go for drilling as long as he/she got an offer for the post? Thank you!!!  Yes, Drilling Engineers are from the upstream. Most drilling engineers I know has a Petroleum Engineering background but some are from mechanical background as well. Drilling engineers requires you to be at the site most of the time (but some do office work) and you need to know things about the casing system, cementing job, and reservoir pressure behaviors. Most of the experience gained are on-the job type so maybe some other discipline may be able to join. |

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « If you have a Petroelum Geoscience degree (which Uni by the way because not many Uni will have a specific Petroleum Geoscience degree, most uni have Geology/Geophysics degree), then you should be marketable. Most operators will want to hear from you. |

If you have a degree in Chemistry you can also try Geochemistry position. Operators and some of the labs in Malaysia are especially focused on doing oil fingerprinting (that's where the Geochem people comes in).
One of the best reservoir simulation engineers (he wrote the definitive reservoir simulation book) is a chemical engineer by background. I know that Petronas usually likes to convert chemical engineers to reservoir engineers as it is easier than converting electrical engineers. |

Usually people relate to higher salary for the subsurface and engineering side of the industry but IT people if they concentrate on the data management side of the business will also be in high demand. You will need to know or learned oracle database and understand how to manage the huge datasets that is used in this industry such as seismic databases or the geological databases.

QUOTE(co_upe @ Jun 4 2011, 08:22 AM) Hi guys. Geophysics are branched into 3 major areasBased from my readings, it seems that seismic is the main geophysics method for offshore exploration. I'm curious, what are the position of electrical-related method in exploration by O&G companies. Is it widely used for exploration or just for electrical well logging only? Reason I ask this is, although I'm from geophysics background, my field of expertise is actually in electrical related such as rock resistivity, SP, and the like. Not that i mind about learning and mastering other fields.. Just curious though.. 1. Seismic Acquisition 2. Seismic Processing 3. Seismic Interpretation (which can be further subdivided into several areas) Your areas of expertise have some relevance in a couple of the areas (seismic processing and interpretation (the quantitative interpretation side)) Rock Physics is an important field of expertise that you may want to look at as most technology are now branching towards that area. Once you have a good understanding of Rock Physics, it can be applied during the seismic processing for AVO and other seismic attributes processing and analysis. Seismic Acquisition will come into your picture when you require them to acquire the seismic in a certain way ..i.e if you believe that you would like to see some AVO effect, then you should plan the acquisition to enable you to get AVO etc etc .... I'm not an expert in this area but I worked long enough with Geophysicists to know what they do for a living. |

QUOTE(co_upe @ Jun 4 2011, 03:40 PM) AVO?? that's Amplitude Variation with offset right? Rock Physics and petrophysics are very closely related. It sounds like you're more into the petrophysics aspect of it, unless there is some seismic signal relation with the data you mentioned (i.e. permeability, porosity, density etc etc). Either way, you're in good position already as these knowledge will be useful in both petrophysics or geophysics.Basically what I'm studying is the physics properties of rock and relate them with porosity, permeability, density, and etc2. Is my branch of study considered rock physics, or petrophysics? I'm always confused about the difference between these two terms.. |

Saudi has no tax, that's why I say it's tax free.Added on June 17, 2011, 12:26 am not all company paying in USD here.. but if you are in Emrates is possible.. depend to share holder. what? Yokogawa or Honeywell.. If you are working in O&G, then yo MUST be working in a company who is a service provider to MY company. |

The O&G market is on the uptrend so better catch the peak before tge cycle comes down again. The last hiring uptrend was in 2006-2007.

My company is building a HUGE HUGE Refinery and Petrochemical Complex in the Eastern Province so those in the downstream side may want to see if there is any opportunities.

QUOTE(aressandro10 @ Jun 21 2011, 05:16 AM) may i ask if there is a minimum age or working experience cap that applicable to working in middle east? For expatriates, I know there should be at least a 7 year experience requirement. The fresh graduates position are probably for the locals. It doesn't hurt to try so I'd say go ahead.does internal recommendation (cable) is a pre-condition? As for cables, well it helps if you have a friend in there who could pass your CVs directly to his supervisor or manager but other than that, not that I know of (if you're an expat that is, maybe locals work on a different road) |
