Try looking at the OP and it has all the necessary list of O&G companies.

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.

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.

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?

Previously ExxonMobil is always more competitive in terms of benefits and packages than Petronas. Not sure about Shell. Now, I'm not so sure either but I suspect it still is more competitive.

What kaiserwulf meant is that new hires will get 2.7K LESS than previous batches (i.e. if previous batches was getting 6K a month, then the new batch will get 3.7K a month) or something like that (which is still less than Petronas which is surprising).

Even overseas student also not so good lah. I've interviewed several during my time as a manager and I had had to      dua tiga ali also because the kids are so shy, tak confident and surprisingly their communication skill is not so good. Their grades are excellent but when you are trying to get the best, all this things really knocks you down.

Look at the Mat Salleh's, they are confident even though what they are spewing are total rubbish ....

Shell Graduate Freshie pay rm4,450/mth + rm500 transport/parking allowance + other fringe benefits.

Excellent attitude. Gain as much experience as possible and network network network. PGCE (Petroleum Geology Conference & Exhibition) is coming up soon and this is a big one so go visit and network around. Lot's of freebies as usual.

Your cousin is going into a good prospect. I'm a petroleum geologist and as ICDeadpeople mentioned, it's one of the highest paid jobs in the industry, comparable with petroleum engineers etc etc.

Be prepared to drown yourself in the ins and out of rocks & minerals and make super sure that he knows the fundamentals of structural mapping. He/she will do just fine.

I have been in the downstream side of the industry for the past 3 years and suddenly had this thought of pursuing a masters in petroleum eng and move upstream. As I'm already in my late 20's, is it advisable to start again from zero ?

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.
