When I joined my first company, I was getting RM2K per month, can't even afford to buy a car so borrowed my mum's kancil for work. Went through all the training, eagerly accepted all the work/project given and basically hunkered down and did my job.

After 5 years, salary was around 4K per month after 3 promotions (which was rare) and got assigned to do those reorganization project. Learned that networking is extremely important in the O&G cause, let's face it, it's a small group of people with the same skill sets.

Got my first offer at 5 years experience from a contractor, was a bit reluctant coz the pay increase though significant was only around double my salary. After 10 years, got the opportunity to be an expatriate, so jumped on that offer and now reaching my 15 years experience soon.

Now with Malaysia experiencing a sharp drop in Oil Production and with so many Malaysians with experience out of the country, the Operators are seriously recruiting. I have an offer that is almost similar in package to what I am getting right now and I can return to Malaysia. Nothing beats working in Malaysia. In this industry, your value just goes up and up .... and I am seriously tempted to returning.

mcm aged wine kohkoh.yeah i guess what they say the pay comes with experience is true.and with ong being that intensified sector its that extra bit of profit to the comp to hire the older heads i suppose.

Not sure about other positions, but for engineering positions based in KL office..i was told that they only hire the cream of the crop

this is true especially for fresh graduates

for experienced engineers without o&g experience, i would say pretty tough..

Hi, need opinion. Above are my elective subject for 3rd year degree chem eng. If I aiming OnG as my future job, which subject are recommended ? Must choose 3 subjects.

Thanks !

would anyone kind enough to explain me what operation engineer daily working task?
or maybe operation engineer theirselve here can enlighten us...

in term of career growth, compared to other eng. discipline, is it worth it?

tq

hmmm wut operation engineer are we talking about here?

exxon hires many fresh grad (normally from top oversea uni).. but hardly hire any experienced OnG as staffs.. exxon has this culture where it is not easy for others to adapt...

but plently of position available for contract staffs..

also, exxon doesn't has any block in east msia... major player should be Shell, Murphy, Nippon for east.. n of course Carigali..

hi..im a student in electrical and electronic engineering..will be doing my internship in october..
anyone knows any company that offer internship in OnG..

i tot most of the students did their intern on may - jul?

now uni already change semester system..trisemester thing..so my current semester end in september

Anyone know which company or posting should a materials engineer apply in oil and gas? I thinking of corrosion control. Would like to join this industry once graduated

try corroshield at www.corro-shield.com.my

their technical staff is quite good n experienced too in the corrosion management field. in fact, even shell, petronas, exxon, etc need these material engineer. u can try all of them. no worries.

dream job...

Any other job fairs/exhibitions coming up that are oriented to the Oil and Gas industry ?

I missed OGA 2011, the next one is in 2013 T_T

Thanks for the info. May i know how much would corro shield pay for a fresh grad? They have an office at my hometown in Miri haha.. Actually, i am graduating at this october, actually i am interested to work in singapore of any oil and gas related field for a material engineer, from wat i studied, i guess i would be doing corrosion control or materials selection especially in alloy design in this field. How about any recommendation at singapore company?

piping engineering? good prospect? how is the working life?

Hi all. How about m3nergy? Good pay meh?

ahahah i cant help u on dat dude. if u ask me about some local companies on materials n corrosion eng, then i can help u a lil bit.

just send ur resume there n try ur luck coz the comp is quite big among the corrosion contractor. they even secured some of the petronas big projects if i'm not mistaken. about the starting pay, nah i dont have any idea though. rm2500++ maybe? seriously i donno

oh kk.. how about any other company in msia that is related to materials engineer? actually i am leaning towards metal industry or metal related. How about swiss profile? Southern steel gave me a call for interview, is southern steel a good company to be in? I heard that working in a foundry is kinda hazardous and prone to get diseases later on.

anyone here from technip??m wondering if i should call them...my application is on the under consideration status for almost 3 months lol....does this mean im not going to get an interview or..they are still processing applications??
