Any company looking for internship students? Chemical Engineering.

to each his own.i agree u can basically start off at any job,be it working from the lowest in the O&G chain(consultant firm etc),or right from the top(operators such as PETRONAS,SHELL).depends on the market and the vacancies.and of course luck.but to be a really good O&G engineer, you should start from a consultant,then move up to fabricators(like Kencana),so on and so on.you won't get much technical knowledge in operating companies.operators is more to business,document reviewing,management,budgetary etc2.in the long term,u are better off starting from the bottom.at least that is what i think

I am an estimator,
definitely, as an estimator / proposal engineer, your work is more on commercial part, for me, there are somebody to back up on the technical parts such as engineer. if you want to qualified as PE, I think you should change to technical.

mind to tell me where u work as estimator? I am looking new environment =P
I am working in an engineering contractor firm, doing steel fabrication, pressure vessels and heat exchangers.

I am not from KNM, i work in ipoh, same as KNM, but not as high-end as KNM.
but for me, the shipyard n those platform fabricator mostly located near coast. I prefer to work in town.
then u must from M*B, very big @.@

i was with kencana years ago (but not pinewell  ), kencana petroleum is actually the parent company, and pinewell is the hook up/comissioning subsidiary. there are also bestwide (engineering/procurement), HL (yard), and KPV - which is the marine/drilling and the ship management arm  - nautilus.

One problem about kencana IMHO is the HR, no time off and 10 days annual leave, and other benefit is not good enough compared to other similar company. i don't know whether this have changed, but according to my friends there it is still the same even after they transferred to solaris. dunno if they still work on saturday.

in pinewell if as a field engineer should be mostly in field like offshore/shipyard, prospect wise should be good as most of the seniors will go for office position after 5-10 years, so there will always be opportunity for young engineers.

design/engineering will be much different and most of the time will only stayed in office except for maybe acceptance test and vendors visit, and also if after completion of project got problem at site than you will have the chance to go 
i was from the design background but now doing something diff - still related to o&g
err..  lovebatt... u did ruby isn't it? hehehe.... i was there during the start of the project, but stayed in kl at the design consultant office. wonder if we know each other?

I think the prospect depend on what company, small company will have better chance like my current company, most of the senior employee the ex-estimator here already become a boss, some open their own yard else where. In those MNC or those oil n gas group, salary is high but i don think u can easily to reach the management level. But in my environment here, although i am an estimator, but i handle all the matters in project, from the tender, negotiation with client, liaise with client, liaise with my design engineer, co-ordination with all departments during the progress, including purchasing... client's payment.. etc. so i had learned technical & also commercial. if u want to be PE, then this might not suitable for you. if you want to be a boss or to be a contractor in future, then this is good for you to learn business & operation.

your last job in shipyard, that consider a big company, u will just assigned a particular work, u will not handle others stuff not related to estimation/proposal, am i right?

i have another thread here, pls support support

Whatever anyone decides to get into O & G, stay a wide berth from Halliburton Johor.

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?

There isn't much marketing work for O&G I suppose... other than end users product like lub-oil, gas station...

guess it would be boring

there are some. but mostly internal promotion or dept. transfer under "business development".
sometimes, one needs networks for this. or u can try your luck @ OGA 2011 coming soon 1-3 June 2011 @ klcc.

1 vacancy for graduate mechanical engineer??? i suspect they will receive thousands of application. Tough competition.

Is anyone apply SBM on last two month who is successfully hired/interviewed?

thanks for the pointers for OGA 2011. went there and deposited some resumes. applied for MMC, SapuraCrest, Chevron, Kencana for QA/QC or internship. hopefully can get in.

Would like to know whether ALL those who work as a project engineer or staffs mainly involved in technical services in Oil and Gas are all engineering graduates?
Actually how many departments are available in an O&G company?
Any management training program that accepts graduates like applied sciences(Chemistry or biochemistry) other than engineering graduates?

Well, i guess they are only looking for ENGINEERING graduates.  any successful cases where grads from applied Science field get into engineering position?
Or would the management training program which is offered by certain companies will actually train the grads( even from non-engineering fields, i mean basically a BSc degree like chemistry, biochemistry ,physics ) well to prepare them to enter the engineering position after this training?

Cryogenic tank? Most probably for LNG. -162degC, Patm. Done my final year project in simulating LNG rollover. 

Anyone ever heard of East One-Zero-One Sdn Bhd? I have applied for process engineer there and would like to know more about this company. Went to their website at www.east101.com already but it's better if anyone who really know about the company can share about it here.
Thanks in advance!

what about mid 2nd class CGPA? sufficient enough to apply for oil&gas?
