I read somewhere about there are 3 types of Gas Company.
Consultant - Technip, MMC
Operator - Petronas, Shell
Contractor - Schlumberger, Baker Hughes
From what I read, it says that consultant employees get paid least, but you are only doing office jobs - designing using AutoPipe, etc.
Contractors are paid the most amount of wages, but you will be working offshore, on the oil rif.
From contractor, its quite hard for you to jump into operator companies such as Shell, Petronas, but from consultancy companies, you will have a brighter chance of working with the operators
(I'm talking about jumping up the food chain, more convenient work place,no offshore life, more decent pay )
Any one care to explain n elaborate n correct what is wrong?
Im gonna graduate next year, trying to figure out with my life, where to work, and so on. Now I'm finishing my internship already, being here, make me realise, deciding field of work is not an easy choice. BTW I'm a Mechanical Engineering student.
dis is through my observation n friends, not really a strong fact to quote with.....Consultant - Technip, MMC
Operator - Petronas, Shell
Contractor - Schlumberger, Baker Hughes

consultant: decent pay, mostly office work
operator:good pay, field work or rnd, a bit risky job
contractor: high pay job, not really sure of the job scope(my neighbour working in contractor comp somewhere at eastern europe if not mistaken, get paid in euro n usd, two currency, highly benefited)

2) Have been considering working as a field engineer (slb etc.), couple of concerns:
a) Career progression? Would you have to be stuck offshore throughout your career if you want to continue enjoying the lucrative pay?
b) Is the job technically demanding (say in comparison to an office job working as a consultant)?
c) Career options? Could you branch out into something else with the skills that have been developed or you're almost stuck?
d) Job satisfaction? Do you feel you're doing something great/proud of your job? Do you feel your job cannot be easily done by others?
e) Individuality/differentiation? Is there room for your own input or do you follow a strict set of guidelines?
f) Do you do the same task everyday or is there something new to look forward to everyday?
g) Any other thoughts/advice?
h) Last but certainly not least: Would you recommend someone who sees all the above as important in a career to go down this route?
Your time in reading (and hopefully responding to) this is very much appreciated.
Thanking you in advance,
Crispypork
d) not all can survive under the tense of OnG industries, 24 7 running business non stop
f) new kind of prob, new environment to work with, u wont be sitting in a cubicle only, if management of cos la working under the roof.....
