What's the problem?? got job in OnG do first, then if you really not suitable for you, then find others. u have no idea how many ppl 'r after ur position nowadays.

My apologies, sometimes we let our ego get the better of ourselves.

I'm a geologist so I'm not that familiar about process engineering or flow assurance. I was in a NOC before (still in an NOC now anyway) and I have dealt with the two aspect but I wouldn't want to give wrong advice (which is actually a lot worse than keeping silent). I know several colleague in PETRONAS who are in Facilities Engineering and I know both process engineering and flow assurance will probably fall under Facilities Engineering side (upstream still).

As mentioned by another poster, there is no good or bad position, it all depends on the market demand. Market demand for Geologist/Petroleum Engineers/Petrophysicist/Geophysicist are constant ... they are always high and the supply is limited so it's an employee market. If you are an engineer, then maybe some seniors here who are engineers can shed further light.

Good luck in whatever you do, have a positive attitude and I'm sure companies will appreciate you.

Process engineer: -
- deals with processes once oil/gas reaches the platform
- partial separation for platforms
- full separation for the plants (onshore)
- i.e. process engineer are required onshore and off shore.
- that said, process engineers work mostly from office for both situations
- it is a WIDE scope but i think you get the idea

Flow assurance Engineer
- deals with fluid.gas flow issues
- scaling, hydrates, icing, waxing, slugging
- FA Engineers job is to ensure all these (above) are mitigated
- most FA experts are pipeline engineers as well
- you deal with flow from the well head to the platform. Once at the platform, the Process Engineer takes over
- FA is a niche market and is of high demand since we are in the Hard Oil phase of O&G

SLB, right ?

huaa you got the job??congrats.

@preakzz

You are going for field exposure in which segment?This is quite fast,good luck to you then,last time it was 5 steps of interview and took quite some time.

next mid month going to brunei & labuan again.
what i love at labuan is the alcohol & chocolates 

@preakzz good luck for the interview..pls stand yourself out during field exposure, get a placement in SLB, then u can find a hole for me to jump in

Labuan is indeed a haven for smokers and drinkers. If you have these two habits, your network will expand 3 times faster than non smokers and drinkers.

Yet another dollar i throw into the pond today.

Hi preakzz , you applied through slb website ? how long they took to reply after you submitted your resume ?
Btw , good luck to you for the field exposure

well i think youre arrived there already, at least your search is coming to an end  good luck to you in in your career also dah jd big shot nnt kabel2 la kami disini

@preakzz

I can't directly answer that,but i think it is already obvious from my reply yeah.

nice,mwd field engineer,one of the high profile FE position.

MWD LWD

LWD at Chikyu Expedition

Congratulation preakzz..
By the way, how much they pay for entry level MWD?

curious too...mind to share preakzz?

MWD = Makan While Drilling

Yes, the world know how tough is the industry but do everyone really know the toughness in any specific areas in the O&G industry? No unless you have seen it or even better feel it..so people who share in this thread can give newcomers delusions by easily saying that the job is as easy as ABC rather than telling you the truth and how tough is being a roustabout (in the case of discussing about roustabout/roughneck). This is the kind of delusions that I meant. No one here want to mislead people or give any false hope to newcomers..As you can go through this thread, many positive and encouragement are given to Preakzz and she is a newcomer too..this is because some experienced people here has went through it and know that the job is good for her career...going from office work to being a roustabout is not a career move (at least in my opinion) thus there is some negative comment.

This thread is about Oil and Gas Career (Technical sharing and job opportunities) so it includes sharing your experiences/how is the working environment/how is the O&G company hiring/looking for people....I reckon that by having experiences shared by seniors in this thread is valuable especially to newcomers..wouldn't you as a newcomer who is passion in pursuing a career in the O&G want to know alot about the real environment and how's the job like in O&G? If this thread isnt about sharing and telling about job/environment experience in O&G then it is better to visit Jobstreet,Monster,JobsDB for more O&G job opportunities and just read through the job descriptions which most of the time is beautifully furnished...no offence..

No one underestimate newcomers strength and ability and no one said you can't try to be in O&G...there are many positions for you to go in...it is just that in our opinion that roustabout/roughneck is one hell of a tough job (refer to Materazzi's saying about oil riggers)...anyone can survive in the industry and so do you but it is all depends on what type of area that you want to go in and what position you are holding...you can be a material man in platform, which is more to control of materials in and out of platform, less physical...become a production technician, which is slightly more physical when there is work or be in the control room enjoying air cond....

Lastly, we do not think newcomers are silly to ask because at least, when don't know something, you are dare to ask...but after asking,all should be ready to accept all kind of feedbacks regardless of positive or negative...If we find it silly,we don't even bother to reply with facts...Pardon me for being harsh and putting in a long essay...Wish you luck to go in O&G but before that, aim for specific area that you can play your strength...

haha.. this is so true. Remember during the old days I went to one of the rig as a company representative. Me and the LWD guys got along quite well. So once a while during drilling (before reaching zone of interest) I went to their doghouse to watch movies. Have to keep alert of whats happening though (sometimes the company man likes to give a surprise visit).

For top notch O&G companies, fresh grads with First Class Honours Degree will certainly grand you an interview. Lower than that you could forget about it.

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!

Hey look at the bright side, at least applying to all these companies allowed you to learn more about the different companies in the industry. At least that's how it is for me, I'm learning quite a lot reading up the company websites, so that I'll have some 'ammo' if I get called up for interviews.

Only problem is the extremely low success rate. Sometimes I'm happy even to get a rejection email. 

Keep trying girl..

imo la(may be wrong) some of the comp youve listed bro is quite big themselves.even getting in those are harder by me.is there any smaller players then the above?(no disrespect meant by "smaller" but you get what i mean la)

keep trying preakz!lin fact lets all(the ones blom dapat) keep trying~ im cramming someone/some companies mail box tiap mlm after work.

Good Luck...

Oh thanks , coz I have a look at their website earlier but did not see any posting for graduate process eng .

@preakzz

why do u think u failed the slb interview?did the recruiter reply that u failed the fep?It usually takes a few weeks to months before getting an offer though.

Why dont try your luck with delcom, petra, sapura, dayang?

Did they mention how many people they were taking in ? I think you shouldn't write it off unless you get an actual confirmation.
In the meantime of course, best to continue searching.

deleum bhd recruitment email: recruitment@delcom.com.my 

chill yo, still no answer means =still open chances but as usual before anything is final dont take it as a sure shot and rest on it, one eye you have hope for that job on the other keep on applying since still no confirmation and you keep your options open.

Delcom office is just next to petra watefront there..just drop your resume there...
