Main players are involved from upstream right up to the downstream process. Pay wise, upstream is much better.

Now talking about the types of company, high on top are the operating companies, SHELL, Petronas, Exxonmobil, ARAMCO, BP who owns the license for the oil field, does the exploration and subsequently award contracts to service companies like Schlumeurger, Baker Hughes and EPC companies such as Technip, Aker Solutions, Foster Wheeler and so on. Then at the bottom of the food chain are the suppliers like Cooper Cameron for valves, Emerson for their instrumentations, logistic companies, skid package companies, and so on. Now pay wise, operating and service company pays the most.

There are no best starting point due to limited job vacancies for fresh engineers.

You can start with "Mile wide, inch deep" or "Inch wide, mile deep" jobs.

Hi guys,

MMHE Pasir Gudang and Kuala Lumpur now open 76 new posts with more than 150 Vacancies Available. Check this out and Good Luck ya.

Mmhe will always have vacancies... The turnover rate is quite high there... fresh grads goes there to get training/exposure and move on to singapore yards, older guys add their creds there and went to high paying consultants/big international companies... Those who stayed long usually already settled down, bought homes or from around johor...
Not that the place is a bad place to work... Is just that when people went in there, its kinda like eyes opener that there are better places outside...

Last time people always said its because of the low salaries... But they have raise it few years ago so i guess its not the case... maybe not as high as what is offered in sg, but good enough for this side of the causeway..

One thing to note is, it is a very big company, with almost 300-500 execs or engineers at a time, it will be quite hard to get promoted. I know few guys who only get promoted one grade after 5-6 years, but there also exceptionals who got promoted to project managers for the same period...
I guess Its either you need to be very good at your job, or you are a expert in sucking up...

really?how come i never see their advertisement?
anyway thanks for d info.

Need you guys' advice so pls help. Any and all feedback welcome.

I have 2.5 years work experience in OnG and recently received a job offer from Kencana HL in lumut but Im not sure whether or not i should go. I am currently working for a small MNC specializing in pipeline welding so I dont get much exposure to the oil n gas industry as a whole due to the pretty small job scope.

job offered at kencana is on permanent basis as QA engineer. same as my current job.
pay is rm3XXX. same as current job.
working hours is officially 48-50 hours/week. roughly same as current job but for kencana there is no compensation at all for working overtime and on rest days. meaning they can call me to work on sunday and not have to give me any money or replacement leave or watever at all. this sucks pretty bad.

if i go, it would be for the experience but I'm not sure if it is worth it coz the remuneration is actually slightly less than what I am getting now with my current employer.

what do you guys think?

Hello seniors n frens..anyone going to labuan next week? I'm going there for a week under a field exposure program. Or anyone else going for the same program?

and also technip.. fresh grad always hired.. 

Geoservices, Baker Atlas, Halliburton, FMC, Cameron - all applied, either no feedback or got rejected.
Not aiming on big companies only but for Shell, I have to apply cos I'm a scholar. Now that i got released, I'm happy that i went up until the FEP for SLB. Not aiming only for these two, but these two give feedback. Done with the FEP, now I'm back with job hunting. Still waiting for feedback from Baker though. I applied there way earlier than SLB but....haiz. why la no feedback... I've had enough getting frustrated.

Because my friend already Got called. He is much better than me. Already at the final phase then failed. Sad, right?

technip hires fresh grads..

but cgpa requested currently is 3.5..
