u r mechanical background?
you apply through online?
i got a friend just join them this February.

Hello dude. i have some questions and already sent your private messages. Check it out..

I graduated with a BSc in Chemistry. Just wondering how come I cant seem to find any jobs for oil and gas that requires a chemist. I noticed all also want those with Engineering degree. Am I looking in the wrong place?

Got lab work for sure. Try these few keywords: Cementing, Mud, and Production Chemistry.

Cheers.

Hi, I am from chemical engineering background. I just found that my position is graduate process engineer.

in the oil and gas field? or some other field?

Sime Darby offloads fabrication assets
Malaysian conglomerate Sime Darby will sell its oil & gas fabrication assets to Malaysia Marine and Heavy Engineering Holdings (MMHE) and Petronas for a combined price of RM 695 million ($229.5 million).
Andrew Hobbs and News Wires 27 May 2011 08:57 GMT
As foreshadowed by Upstream last month, the Pasir Gudang fabrication yard will be sold to MMHE for RM 399, a transaction that will allow MMHE to double its annual tonnage capacity from its current 69,800 tonnes.
Petronas will acquire the Teluk Ramunia fabrication yard for RM 296 million, with both transactions to be completed entirely in cash.
The assets’ combined disposal price is above their RM 641 million book value as it was at 31 March, the company said.
In an announcement, Sime Darby chief executive Bakke Salleh said the decision to dispose of the assets was made following the company’s group portfolio review exercise.
“In order for (Sime Darby) to move up the value chain and enjoy better returns, the Group would need to further commit its financial resources into a business which is no longer in-line with the Group’s strategic direction,” he said.
Salleh instead said the group should focus its resources in areas where it can achieve sector leadership.
The Sime Darby announcement said the assets would be sold as they were, complete with all mobile and immobile plant, with MMHE to offer employment to all employees connected with the yard on mutually agreed terms.
The company would also meet all existing obligations under committed projects and contracts, the announcement said.
Sime Darby had made a commitment to cut non-core assets last year after suffering two consecutive quarters of losses caused by losses at its energy division, Reuters reported.
The company reported a net profit of RM 820.1 million during the third quarter ending in March, compared to a net loss of RM 308.6 million for the same period a year ago.
Results in the year-ago quarter were hit by cost overruns totalling $656 million at Sime's energy unit, which led to intense investor scrutiny and a number of ongoing legal suits, Reuters reported.
"This marked improvement in performance was achieved despite difficult operating conditions,” Salleh said in a statement.

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.

hi all bro here if i wanna work in marketing department for sales or non sales i mean pure marketing for advertising and planning is it very hard to get in now i working as a banker for a years already mostly sales but now i wanna quite boring for working in a bank

do IT background got any shot on o & g company?

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.

try this blog: http://savvycareers.blogspot.com/2011/05/c...exxonmobil.html

looks like exxonmobil is looking for a fresh graduate chemical engineer.

good luck.

Added on May 31, 2011, 8:44 amcontrary to that, marketing work for O&G is really an interesting job.

i've never been there myself, but from what i know from my experience their job involves a lot of travelling.

and by this i mean internationally.

participating in conventions & expos.

meeting with prospective clients (once my colleague got to join this meeting with Modec.. trip to japan y'all)

as i am from the fabricator's side, we do a lot of marketing to our international clients.
