Getting Started Junior Member 56 posts Joined: Nov 2006	hi guys. what should a guy with degree specializing in rock and petrophyics apply during a general interview for oil and gas jobs. i'm interested in engineering field, possibly reservoir engineer or drilling engineer or maybe well engineer? . but since my degree doesnt have that 'éngineer' title, could i still apply for them? i'm curious about what my other options are other than petrophysicist..

Does anyone know when and where is the next Schlumberger recruitment day? I heard that they regularly conduct campus recruitment in UTP and UTM. Are students from other universities eligible to apply through there? I have been thinking about applying online through careers.slb.com, but then I found out that most people get to submit their resume and get a chance for an interview from career fairs or university tours. I reckon the chances of getting noticed are higher when you submit your resume directly instead of online through their career website. What about the upcoming Jobstreet MCTF and JobsDB Career Expo. Does anyone have any idea what O&G and O&G Services will be there (or are usually there)? looking forward to your replies! not sure about their recruitment day but Schlumberger will be attending in USM engineering campus during career fair on this 25th and 26th january. other students from other universities are welcome btw..

Thank you." today is already 19th, too bad I gotta be more alert by the way USM engineering campus is in Pulau Pinang right? so far away from KL. I will probably go there if the resume submission period was a little later. If you or anyone else here are planning to attend the career fair, could you get some information from SLB's booth regarding the next campus tour and whether or not they will be in the Jobstreet's and JobDB's career fairs? Thanks! I really appreciate it lol.. the submission date used to be 7 january. now they extend it to 18. they will be another career fair in usm maybe in late march. Every year since my 1st year, Schlumberger and Petronas take part. Maybe they will join again in the next career fair or maybe not. will inform you if they do..

If you're experienced (not necessarily in O&G), you may want to register with worldwideworker.com as they are like Global jobstreet for O&G with. Added on February 20, 2011, 12:56 pm Are you kidding me? Petrophysicist are a dying breed in O&G industry. MNCs will step over each other to try and get you to work for them. It's one of the hardest skill sets to hire because, it's very rare that you get a petrophysics degree (I don't they have any in any uni) so mostly, the O&G companies will spend the first 3-5 years training science grads to be petrophysicist. Apply for all Operators, they will hire you. QUOTE(kaiserwulf @ Feb 21 2011, 11:01 PM) PP work is very busy... A lot to fine tune on the wells that you are in charge of. To add on what azraeil says, once your boss likes you. You will find hard time to change out of the job because they cannot let you go. Pros and cons on this if you plan to stay same company. QUOTE(azraeil @ Feb 22 2011, 03:00 AM) PP works like a dog. But even a 5 years PP with experience can command salary in the 15-20K range in Malaysia a month. A lot of those company doing the outsourced subsurface study faced huge problems when it comes to PP. They cannot find one. Same like Geological Modeler. Market rate for that with a 10 year experience is 35K per month on a permanent basis. Both PP and GM can command around 1500/day day rate if you're not on a contract or permanent basis. If you're a mechanical engineer, try and get a job as a drilling engineer, another rare species in the industry. Market rate is in the 2000-3000 per day rate. This of course is when you have all the necessary experience. So for those who are with 2-3 years experience. Be patient, your value will just increase with experience.I really advise people already in O&G to get as much experience as possible (operations/Study/planning side), try and get into all of the project team as much as possible. Learn from your mentor and your senior staff. Don't be malu malu to ask questions. Tak paham, tanya ... that's the fastest way you will learn. Okay, that's enough advice for one day. Thanks for these replies.. Before this I was worried that if i go to general interview and say that i want to be a PP, they reply like " sorry, we have enough PP in our company, you're not needed. Go back home.. '' I'm curious about the job scope though. Do PP have to go offshore platform and perform the MWD/LWD on the field himself or they simply sit in front of the computer doing processing and interpreting work only? i.e, does the job contain some technical works on the field or sit in front of pc only all day? btw, work like a dog? well.. since the pay is high, i guest that's justified..

Getting Started Junior Member 56 posts Joined: Nov 2006	Hi guys. Based 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.. This post has been edited by co_upe: Jun 4 2011, 01:33 PM

Getting Started Junior Member 56 posts Joined: Nov 2006	AVO?? that's Amplitude Variation with offset right? 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..

Getting Started Junior Member 56 posts Joined: Nov 2006	QUOTE(carloz28 @ Feb 13 2012, 10:45 AM) I can't tell you which division in O&G that accepts this handicap but i can tell you for sure that color blind ppl is not "preferred" in wireline logging, MWD because most of time their work involves a lot of log monitoring on the PC screen. Since different logs have different color and you can have as many as 10-11 log graphs on the screen at one time, it's really hard to tell which one is which if you are color blind. What are the common parameters that are measured during MWD/LWD in the industry? Are resistivity and polarization considered as common? I'm going to complete my master soon and my study areas are more concentrated on magnetic and electrical studies on rock. Not really sure what kind of position I should be looking for later..
