Aiyoooo, ExxonMobil is still the largest operator in Malaysia. All PSC95 blocks are operated by ExxonMobil. Tapis, Seligi, Guntong, Semangkok, Palas are all operated by ExxonMobil. Production wise, you are looking at 150k barrels per day from this fields.

owh i tot they only got blocks in sabah + sarawak offshore only biggrin.gif

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.

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?
*
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 biggrin.gif

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.
*
yeah just join those operators such as petronas carigali, exxon, shell, talisman, murphy, etc..they have mci department that specialize in materials, corrosion n inspection engineering. i guess dat should suits u well.

For fresh grad, I only look at 4-5 local uni for geoscience. For RE/PE, around 2. For other discipline, never call anyone for interview yet.
Foreign cert can help, especially when it comes for a well known uni (Heriot Watt, Col School of mines, etc). But the results is more important. I always ask potential candidates to submit their full transcript to see if they are excel in the right and important subjects, not like gym class, or theater, or whatever.

But I always wonder, does IT or HR or procument/accountant in ONG pays substantially higher than other industry? Anyone can comment?
Since I thought the subsurface and some critical surface discipline (drillers, FE) paid really well because of limited resource.
*
r u saying that by having a b- gred for drilling eng won't make me a candidate for drilling eng post?. oh btw, i'm a pe student from utm rclxub.gif

does any body know what exactly the LWD/MWD engineer do? what is their job scope?
*
lwd = logging while drilling

logging while drilling is basically a 2 in 1 job where logging is done while the well is drilled. this method is quite famous rite now since it can cut the amount of time needed to do both logging and drilling.

mwd = measurement while drilling

mwd tools are basically installed as the bha at the drill bit. it measures either azimuth or inclination of the drilled well or the mechanics information such as drill bit rpm, temp, wob, etc

Well, I have to look for other subjects too. But than again, you dont want to hire a geologist who got C for sedimentology, do you?
UTM is one of the uni that we look into for RE/PE candidates.

Can I say that u guys prioritise academic qualification regarding for specific job designation than the candidate's performance during the interview?

Yes, agree.

It depends on which "side" you want to work with. Options are:
1. End-user/Client
2. Consultant/Engineering
3. Operator
4. Fabricator
5. Contractor
6. Sub-Contractor

You prolly need go academic results from accredited & favorable uni's if you are applying for jobs for the first 3. The rest, it doesn't really matter. This only applies for fresh grad position.
*
Totally agree with this. Consultant n operator mostly are mncs. Thus they tend to hire students from renowned uni with reputable results.

No. Your academic qualification will get yourself an interview. Your performance in the inverview will differentiate between candidates and potential employee.

Subsurface degree (PE/RE/Geology/Geoscience) are offered in selected universities only. The main RE/PE students locally comes from UTM. There is also a reason why people look at UTM as the first cut-off (in terms of selecting for interviews I mean), A LOT of seniors in the O&G industry came from UTM so there is a strong Alumni bias as well. UTM started their PE/RE program a long time ago and most seniors/managers would have come from UTM or knows someone who graduated from UTM.
yeah. i still remember during my visit to weatherford, halliburton, scomi oil tools, geowell warehouse last year where all the managers were from utm. it made our visit seemed more acceptable where instead of only talking about the industry, we were talking about the this and that lecturer that are still teaching in the faculty hahah. what a nice bonding session i would say biggrin.gif

you want lean to an advantage side? get Petroleum engineering in UTM/UTP and get first class. Some of my friend in PE(UTM) already booked by Schlumberger/Halliburton/Shell/MMC Oil & Gas/Cameron before they graduate during Oil &Gas Career Fair in UTM, Nowadays, Shipping Companies from Singapore also chips in Oil & Gas Career Fair in UTM, making Career fair in UTM more happening. just my 2 cents.
*
actually it depends on what post r u interested in joining coz imo, most service companies hired students with a mechanical eng bground for drilling/completion/production eng post while pet eng bground for res eng post. but then, as long as we have a strong eng qualification from a reputable uni, i dont think there should be any prob for us to get hired rite. anyway, yes the career fair in utm is filled with big oil n gas players n quite happening too.

what about gyro while drilling?

Heriot Watt that good? Their distance learning program looks interesting, but does it mean you only get to access their lecture materials or view recorded lectures? NUS is currently offering Offshore Technology masters, they both cost about the same but the advantage is in NUS you get to attend real classes. Not sure how the distance learning thing will work?
*
as i posted before,

mwd tools are basically installed as the bha at the drill bit. it measures either azimuth or inclination of the drilled well or the mechanics information such as drill bit rpm, temp, wob, etc

where azimuth or inclination can be measured using installed gyroscope at the bha (bottomhole assembly at the drill bit)

yeah heriot watt is one of the best pet eng school available. but then, if u wanna go for the best available pet eng school, try united states universities such as csm, texas a&m, stanford uni, uni of texas at austin coz these universities are known worldwide for their pet eng program.

If its three years ago, yes I am looking forward to working in Miri, when I first graduated.
Reasons given would be due to personal reasons and attractive job opportunities there.

But of course its hard to land a job as well.
Not forget to mention that I am not from any engineering background, only armed with a degree in Geology...
Thinking of joining some companies that require geologist, field geologist, or maybe geophysicist.

Personal preferences would be, Miri seems a lot like my hometown, small, cosy, friendly people and many more!
Similar to Ipoh~  biggrin.gif  .

Made a choice and hence started my career in O&G in Aus.
*
would u mind to share for what company do u work rite now? i assume u r working as a geologist? damn, geology was one of the hardest subject for me but still it's one of the fundamental of petroleum engineering.

Gyro while drilling (GWD) is used when we are drilling with magnetic interference where ordinary MWD tools cannot give an accurate azimuth reading. Magnetic interference simply means you are drilling near any existing wells or "fish" in hole.

oh yeah. totally forgot about the magnetic interference smile.gif thanks for the info though!

got a call for an interview with this H2S safety service company
it is an engineer position in Corrosion Services Division.
Anybody has any insight about this area? or any good links/reading materials for this stuff?

try to read about coating, corrosion inhibitor and cathodic protection since these 2 are the most basic stuff about corrosion.
